G10 AS-Interface Accessories from Pepperl+Fuchs Feature Stainless Steel Coupling Nuts to Deliver Reliable Operation in Harsh Environments



TWINSBURG, OH – Pepperl+Fuchs introduces two new G10 Series AS-Interface Splitters with stainless steel coupling nuts. Compact VAZ-2T1-FK-G10-V1-V4A and VAZ-T1-G10-1M-PUR-V1-GV4A AS-Interface accessories feature a robust one-piece housing with IP67/IP68/IP69K ratings. They also mount quickly and easily in tight spaces, are immune to vibration, and feature gold-plated and machined contacts. The result is long life and reliable operation in challenging food and beverage, process, and other applications subject to caustic chemicals and high-pressure washdown cleaning.



“These new G10 As-Interface splitters are Ecolab approved for their IP rating and resistance to certain types of solvents. The housing design features a flat-cover top and smooth-surface bottom that resists collecting food particles, which makes it easier to clean during the daily high-pressure washdowns in food and beverage applications,” says Tim Cicerchi, Product Manager. “And the stainless steel coupling nuts are a significant improvement over nickel-plated brass nuts that tend to fail when used in tough industries such as food and beverage. Their robust design also makes them perfect for outdoor applications.”
