Automation Connectors

Your factory runs 24/7, so every connector needs to work perfectly. When an industrial connector fails, your entire production line stops. This costs thousands of dollars every hour, which is just not sustainable.

We make pogo pin automation connectors that don’t fail. Our industrial automation connectors work for 50,000+ connections, while most other connectors only last 10,000 connections. That’s five times longer, so you get less downtime and more profits with Promax!

What are the Most Reliable Automation Connectors for Industrial Applications?

Automation connectors are electrical devices that connect machines in factories. They carry power and data between robots, sensors, and control systems. Our pogo pin connector technology uses springs inside to make better contact than regular connectors.

The spring pushes the metal contact against the other part. This creates a strong electrical connection. Regular connectors just press two flat pieces together. Our spring system works better.

When machines vibrate, regular connectors can lose contact. Pogo pins stay connected because the spring keeps pushing. This means your signals don’t get interrupted.

Key Device Benefits of Pogo Pin Technology

• Self-cleaning action – Each connection wipes away dirt and corrosion
• Vibration resistance – Springs maintain contact under movement
• Long lifecycle – 50,000+ mating cycles vs 10,000 for standard connectors
• Low maintenance – No lubrication or adjustment required

Which Automation Connector Types Handle the Harshest Industrial Environments?

M12 circular connectors, rectangular HAN-style housings, and compact modular designs provide maximum protection against dust, moisture, vibration, and extreme temperatures.

M12 Circular Connectors

M12 circular connectors provide IP67 and IP68 protection against dust and moisture. The threaded coupling mechanism creates a watertight seal and resists vibration. Temperature rating extends from -40 °C to +125 °C for extreme industrial environments.

Rectangular Connector Solutions

HAN-style rectangular connector housing combines power and signal in one robust assembly. Metal housing withstands mechanical stress, while pogo pins maintain electrical performance. Multiple contact configuration options support various voltage and current requirements.

Compact Modular Solutions

Miniaturized connector systems save 70% space compared to traditional designs. Full functionality in tight spaces makes them ideal for dense control panels and robotic equipment.

How do Pogo Pin Connectors Outperform Traditional Industrial Automation Equipment?

Pogo pin connectors eliminate the three main failure modes of traditional connectors through spring-loaded design, self-cleaning action, and superior vibration resistance.

Failure Mode Elimination in Manufacturing

Traditional connectors fail from contact wear, dirt buildup, and loose connections. Our connector system eliminates these problems through spring-loaded design and self-cleaning action that automate maintenance tasks.

Contact Resistance Performance for Data Transmission

• Initial resistance: <10 milliohms
• After 50,000 cycles: <20 milliohms
• Traditional connectors: Start at 20 milliohms, increase over time

Vibration and Shock Resistance for Mobile Applications

The spring mechanism maintains contact pressure during movement. Standard connectors can lose contact under vibration, causing system failures. Our technology stays connected in vehicle and machinery applications.
