Schneider TSXCANKCDF180T CANopen Cable Connector with Termination Resistor, IP20

Product Overview

When network reliability is critical in CANopen-based automation systems, the Schneider TSXCANKCDF180T provides a robust wiring solution. This CANopen SUB-D 9-pin connector integrates a termination resistor directly into the connector body, simplifying installation and ensuring proper bus termination without extra components. Part of the CANopen series, it is designed for industrial environments where IP20 protection is sufficient.

Technical Specifications

The TSXCANKCDF180T features a female terminal block with 9 straight pins, matching standard CANopen pinouts. Its IP20 rating makes it suitable for control cabinets and protected indoor installations. Weighing just 0.049 kg, it adds minimal load to cables and mounting points. The compact packing dimensions (9.000 cm x 2.000 cm x 11.000 cm) and packing weight of 45.000 g facilitate easy handling and storage.

Industry Applications

This connector is ideal for CANopen fieldbus networks in manufacturing lines, packaging machinery, and material handling systems. By including the termination resistor, it helps prevent signal reflections that cause data errors, directly improving network uptime. For system integrators upgrading older CANopen networks, replacing loose termination components with the TSXCANKCDF180T reduces potential failure points.

Installation Guide

Mount the TSXCANKCDF180T at the physical end of the CANopen bus segment. Connect the female 9-pin D-sub to the device or cable. Ensure the connector is securely fastened with the locking screws to maintain reliable contact. No additional termination resistor is needed externally. Verify that the bus length and node count comply with CANopen specifications for your network.

Maintenance & Reliability

Periodically inspect the connector for signs of corrosion or loose connections, especially in environments with vibration. The IP20 rating means it should be kept free of dust and moisture. Routine checks of the termination resistor integrity can be done with a multimeter between CAN_H and CAN_L pins (typical resistance 120 ohms). Replace the connector if resistance deviates significantly.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before purchasing the TSXCANKCDF180T, confirm that your CANopen network requires a termination resistor at the connector location. This model is a wiring accessory, not a standalone node.
