SD16/SP16 2-9 Pin Square Flange Connector for Smart Factory

SD16/SP16 Compact Docking Connector

SD16/SP16 2-9 Pin Square Flange Connector for Smart Factory Applications

The SD16/SP16 2-9 Pin Square Flange Connector is designed for modern smart factory and industrial automation systems that require reliable connectivity, organized equipment integration, and stable long-term operation. Featuring a compact square flange structure, this connector provides a secure interface for power and signal transmission in intelligent manufacturing environments.

As smart factories continue to integrate automation, sensors, and data-driven control systems, connection reliability becomes critical to maintaining production efficiency. The SD16/SP16 series is developed to support continuous industrial operation while simplifying equipment installation and maintenance.

Selection Guide: Matching Pin Count to Application

Choosing the right pin configuration is the first step in specifying this connector for your equipment. The series supports 2 to 9 pins, allowing you to match the interface to the functional requirements of your automation module:

• 2-3 Pins: Suitable for power supply interfaces where a simple, secure connection is required.
• 4-6 Pins: Ideal for combining power and signal lines within a single compact housing.
• 7-9 Pins: Designed for multi-channel communication and control systems that require higher contact density.

This flexibility allows manufacturers to standardize equipment interfaces while supporting different functional modules within smart factory systems.

Construction and Mounting Stability

The square flange structure is a key design feature for panel-mounted installations. It improves mounting stability and helps prevent connector movement caused by equipment vibration or continuous machine operation. The housing is available in PC or Nylon66, with a PPS insulator and brass contacts plated with silver for reliable conductivity. The threaded locking system ensures a secure connection that resists loosening in dynamic industrial environments.

Typical Smart Factory Applications

This connector series is well-suited for a range of intelligent manufacturing equipment, including:

• Industrial automation equipment
• PLC and control cabinet systems
• Intelligent conveyor systems
• Sensor and monitoring devices
• Robotic auxiliary equipment
• Data acquisition and communication modules
