What are SMICO-Modular Rectangular Connectors?

With the SMICO-Modular rectangular connector series, you can optimally design custom, rugged connectors to supply machinery and equipment. This is made possible by combining individual modules for different transmission media. The connector handles different signal types through the combination of different modules that the designer selects. Modules can also be used to accommodate multimedia types, such as power, signal, and data can be combined into a single connector rather than separate connections.

SMICO-Modular is the original and globally leading series of modular rectangular connectors. A modular connector allows the combination of several different media types into a single connection point. Using off-the-shelf modules, engineers can create custom connector systems perfectly tailored to their need in a standard footprint.

Standardization in module sizes offers the highest degree flexibility as engineers can change modules as their design changes without changing the footprint of the connector and thus, their complete design. Placeholder modules also allow for future proofing. As our multi-media connectors combine multiple connection points into one, it offers substantial space saving benefits.

One of the most important things SMICO-Modular now offers is the ability to connect to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) at the component level, making in the first “smart” connector on the market
