igus Conprotect connector protection

German company igus has developed the ‘Conprotect’ solution as protection for sensitive connectors in industrial applications.

This protection against mechanical loads for standard USB connectors is assembled with only a few steps and without tools.

For even better protection for USB connectors in industrial environments, Conprotect has a protective enclosure that is easily clipped around USB connectors. Two knurled screws give the connection added reliability. This approach prevents inadvertent unplugging. This rugged and protective enclosure for connectors can also be used with a coupling for flying connections.

In order to make assembly as easy as possible, the lids of Conprotect are made from identical parts that fully enclose the connector by hand. The screws are then simply clipped in and users can retrofit Conprotect on existing connections.
