Clamp cylinder proximity switches are generally located in tough environments where corrosive hot chips and cutting fluids exist on CNC milling centers. Molex Mini-Change connectors are designed for such environments. A Mini-Change "T" device connects two clamp cylinder proximity switches to a single user input thereby consolidating machine wiring. This allows the machine to be quickly built while at the same time allowing maintenance and troubleshooting to be quickly accomplished - a must for any piece of capital equipment. If any of the cabling is accidentally severed, any of the quick change components can be simply unmated and replaced, optimizing machine uptime.

Quickly installed and continuously reliable, Brad Harrison Mini-Change connectors are well suited for such harsh industrial applications. Cable options available in the Mini-Change connector family include a TPE "universal" cable, which is highly resistant to today's toughest cutting fluids as well as weld slag. There are several features of the Mini-Change which makes its reliability unquestioned. For instance the nickel-palladium gold contacts provide the ultimate in low contact resistance even after hundreds of mating/unmating cycles. The Brad-Harrison® patented Quad Beam™ contact is a spring-loaded contact which assures mating forces are kept optimal and contact resistance is kept low. This is especially crucial as input signal integrity is critical on today's serial-linked bus network systems. Fast interconnections are assured as the hardened connector face keyway makes contact alignment simple and fast. In addition an alignment arrow, which is molded right into the head of the connector, helps you align the keyway even in "blind locations".

The Brad Harrison® Mini-Change® connector family is the standard by which all other miniature connectors are measured. Brad Harrison pioneered the market for miniature connectors, presenting the first quick-disconnect alternative to hardwiring. Today, Brad Harrison continues to be the recognized leader for quality and durability in design, embodied in the widest selection of miniature connectors on the market.
