Easy and efficient: the Weidmüller ConnectorGuide

The search for the right PCB connection technology for different device applications is often a time-consuming and tedious task. With the ConnectorGuide, Weidmüller has added a product to its portfolio that offers device developers two simple functions for finding customised solutions – and ordering free samples of them directly.

Whether robotics, PV inverters, drive control, or other applications: thanks to the ConnectorGuide, developers can now find the right PCB component more quickly

The first function of the ConnectorGuide allows you to carry out a device-specific search (www.weidmueller.com/appguide). The goal is to make the search easier for device developers – with just a few clicks, they can now obtain a selection of suitable products for their specific devices and functional units. The guide leads users through a selection process based on the specific requirements. Information is provided on the various devices such as industrial controllers, frequency converters or PV inverters. New devices such as robotics, data centres, heat pumps and electrolysers have now been added to the Weidmüller ConnectorGuide, expanding the potential applications.

To make precise product recommendations, the ConnectorGuide analyses the requirements of each functional area, such as the connections of a servo inverter. Many years of application expertise from sales and product managers have supported the ConnectorGuide with valuable information. Thanks to their expertise, the requirements of each individual functional area can be understood precisely to recommend a suitable connection system. In the process, four main criteria are taken into account: the fulfilment of typical specifications such as current and rated voltage with the smallest possible size, compliance with specific device norms and standards, operating advantages during installation and operation of the devices and consideration of cost. Based on these criteria, developers are recommended a maximum of four different PCB connection products that fulfil their respective requirements. A direct link to the Weidmüller eShop enables developers to order free design-in samples, view data sheets or download 3D models and EDA data for PCB design.
