Industrial connectivity system

The Arrow Hart brand LynxPower industrial connectivity system features four application packages. The SoftPower application is designed for industrial applications in which electrical connections are exposed to physical abuse. The Mini-Line cordsets and receptacles allow users to select from a variety of standard and custom configurations as well as plex boxes and accessories. They are designed for industrial automation applications in which power or signal connections are exposed to long-term physical stresses and subjected to liquids and/or oils. The Micro-Mini & Pico-Line package is suitable for use in low-amperage AC or DC control systems and is designed for sensor and control equipment used in many manufacturing environments. The Industrial Network package is for data and signal transfer in industrial environments. In addition, it can be used with Ethernet, DeviceNet, Profibus, SDS, and Seriplex systems.
