ETCO Launches Vibration-Resistant Connectors and Terminals for Automation and Robotics

ETCO Incorporated has unveiled a new line of standard and custom electrical connectors and terminals engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of automation systems and robotics. The components are built to endure intense operations, constant motion, and high levels of vibration, making them suitable for use in manufacturing equipment, assembly lines, and robotic platforms.

Key Product Features

The ETCO Vibration-Resistant Connectors & Terminals include two field-proven standard products: the FlatSnap® Connector and the Locking Ring Terminal. The FlatSnap® Connector features a unisex design with a large surface area that ensures secure mating, and it can be modified to act as a positive locking terminal. The Locking Ring Terminal incorporates four teeth that bite into painted or plain metal surfaces, preventing unwanted rotation and maintaining a stable connection during intense operations.

Customization and Application Flexibility

Beyond the standard offerings, the product line includes PCB and flex circuit connectors, quick disconnects, and custom stamped contacts. These components can be engineered to meet specific OEM requirements using materials such as tinned brass, plain brass, and stainless steel. ETCO notes that the connectors are designed to address challenges common in automation, including space constraints, vibration, assembly efficiency, serviceability, and high-volume production needs.

Pricing and Availability

Pricing for ETCO Vibration-Resistant Connectors & Terminals varies based on configuration and quantity. The company provides price quotations upon request, allowing customers to obtain tailored pricing for their specific application requirements.
