Banner Releases Corrosion-Resistant and High-Performance TPU Cordsets

Banner Engineering has recently expanded its range of industrial cordsets to address reliability challenges by incorporating corrosion-resistant materials and a durable cable design. The newly added lineup features M12 double-ended cordsets with stainless steel coupling nuts, as well as high-performance TPU-jacketed variants for demanding industrial environments. Banner has designed both cordsets to enhance long-term performance without changing existing architectures.

M12 Double-Ended Cordsets With Stainless Steel Coupling Nuts

Banner has developed new M12 double-ended cordsets for applications where connectors are exposed to moisture, chemical cleaners, and other harsh conditions. The cordsets’ stainless steel coupling nuts resist corrosion and wear better than standard hardware. The cordsets come with a black PVC jacket in 1 m, 2 m, 5 m, and 10 m sizes, with a 4-pin M12 male-to-female connector. Some models meet IP66, IP67, and IP68 standards, making them suitable for high-pressure cleaning and outdoor use where protection from water and dust is important.

Flexible Double-Ended Cordset Options

In addition to the new stainless steel M12 options, Banner’s full double-ended cordset range meets various installation needs. Choices include straight or right-angle connectors, mixed-end setups, and connector sizes from M8 and M12 to M23.

These cordsets work with both AC and DC power, making them useful for actuators, sensors, and distributed control equipment. Engineers can pick the cable length and connector shape that best fit their setup, instead of changing their layout to match the cable.

L-Code Models for Compact High-Power Delivery

For applications needing higher current in a small space, Banner’s double-ended L-Code models offer a solution with connectors featuring large pins capable of handling up to 16 A per pin, making them ideal for power-sensitive devices with small footprints. Offered in both 4-pin and 5-pin configurations, the L-Code cordsets support modern distributed power architectures without moving to large connector formats.

High-Performance TPU Cordsets

Complementing the corrosion-resistant connector hardware, Banner has also released its new high-performance TPU cordsets with CB60 technology. The cordsets are designed for applications that involve frequent movement, abrasion, or extreme environmental conditions. The TPU jacket offers flexibility while resisting UV exposure, impact, and chemicals. The cordsets are tested to withstand cold bending at -60°C and cold-impact tested to -40°C, with an operational temperature range up to 70°C.

Users can choose single or double-ended designs, male or female M12 connectors, and straight or right-angle quick disconnects. Cable lengths go from 1 m to 15 m, with lighted versions to help users see power and output status during setup and troubleshooting.

Practical Benefits for Industrial Engineers

With the ever-present need for practical cordset solutions, Banner’s latest additions offer features that match real-world industrial conditions. The new stainless-steel solution aims to replace traditional nickel-plated or zinc coupling nuts that may otherwise corrode, degrade, or seize. For engineers maintaining equipment in washdown areas, high-motion systems, or outdoor installations, the TPU cordsets aim to reduce corrosion, improve reliability, and reduce maintenance efforts.
