FAQs
The JDXFD2T18MSN features an 18-contact layout and a straight plug design with male solder cup contacts, aligning with standard 18-pin harness configurations. Its brass shell and non-reflective plating support reliable mating in rugged environments, while the push-pull breakaway coupling simplifies quick disconnections without specialized tooling. When integrating, verify connector pitch, mating receptacles, and any required backshell accessories to ensure seamless compatibility across your control panels and field-wabric projects.
The push-pull breakaway coupling delivers secure retention during operation and a controlled disengagement when needed, reducing unintended disconnects during startup or high-vibration events. This translates to lower maintenance interventions and fewer intermittent faults. For manufacturers, the design supports safer, faster maintenance procedures and avoids costly rework in automation lines, conveyors, and energy equipment where reliable interconnects are critical.
Yes, the connector is built for demanding environments with a -40 °C to 125 °C operating range and a sealed design that protects contacts from contaminants. The brass shell with non-reflective chrome plating enhances durability and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for outdoor installations, production floors, and harsh industrial settings where reliability and longevity are essential.
This JDX family is typically evaluated against common industrial standards relevant to automation and connectivity, such as CE and IP considerations, along with SIL readiness expectations for safety-critical systems. However, exact certifications should be confirmed on Eaton’s datasheet or by contacting the supplier, as product-level certification details can vary by lot and regional requirements. Always request the latest certificate documentation during procurement.
The connector’s sealed breakaway design and high-density 18-contact layout reduce field downtime and simplify spares management. Quick disconnections minimize maintenance time, while durable materials withstand harsh environments, lowering replacement costs. In practice, teams report lower maintenance labor costs, faster line changes, and improved uptime, contributing to a shorter payback period in automation and energy facilities.
