A standard and its success story

Halle: 1 Galerie / Stand-Nr.: 1GA81 

System designers in intralogistics are increasingly opting for MQ 15 connectors to supply power quickly, cost-effectively and safely to asynchronous or three-phase motors up to 7.5 kW or to frequency converters. The standardization of the pin assignments for AC and DC applications in accordance with the international standard IEC 61076-2-116 and the resulting guaranteed manufacturer-independent compatibility have further boosted this trend. Murrelektronik’s highlight: the innovative fast connection system reduces assembly time by up to 80 percent – and the connection is sealed to IP67.

As with the increasingly popular decentralized system solutions for automation without control cabinets, Murrelektronik is also a forerunner in this field. This is because the MQ 15 connectors fit perfectly with the company’s DNA: to make industrial automation as simple, seamless and cost-efficient as possible with smart solutions.

In this case, there is another important advantage: the compact design. The MQ 15 connectors transmit high currents in the smallest of spaces – making them perfect for systems where space is limited.

So instead of always relying on expensive M23 connectors – and thus incurring unnecessary costs in some cases without any meaningful benefit – Murrelektronik has also developed an extensive series of MQ 15 connectors that can cover a wide range of applications with power transmission values of up to 16A continuous load at a voltage of 600V for AC applications and 20A at a voltage of 48V for DC applications. And this all over the world, thanks to CE certification and UL approval.

Superior quality and very attractive price/performance ratio

In addition to these benefits due to the standard, Murrelektronik’s MQ 15 connectors have a number of technical features that make life easier for customers.

For example, the innovative quick-release system reduces the time required for installation, service and maintenance by up to 80 percent. A quarter turn, an audible and perceptible "CLICK" to indicate a successful connection – and the power is flowing.

The connection is dust- and splashproof to IP67, as well as shock and vibration resistant, making it fully suitable for industrial use, even in harsh conditions. And the hard silver-plated contacts guarantee long life (up to 500 mating cycles). Another important quality feature is the full PUR overmoulding of the ready-to-connect cables.

Murrelektronik also uses high-performance plastics instead of expensive metal parts – this is why the company’s MQ 15 connectors have the best price-performance ratio on the market.

There are many good reasons to rely on this standard and MQ 15 connectors from Murrelektronik in the future.
