The 2PLC lighted connector indicates that power is being transmitted to an electrohydraulic valve or other component. The industry-standard connector also comes in a 4-pin version.Smith realized the value of proprietary LED-indicating connectors from OEMs, but was frustrated to learn the feature was not offered in industry-standard connectors. He began developing the 2PLC connector in 2010 and subsequently acquired IPX9K certification. The connector not only visually indicates continuity, but it withstands the harsh environmental conditions typically encountered with off-highway hydraulic systems. Potential applications include construction, mining, forestry, oilfield, agricultural, and waste-handling equipment.
More recently, Smith introduced the 4PLC, a 4-pin lighted connector. Both connectors carry a 12/24-V dc, 13-A rating. They feature a thermoplastic housing and elastomer sealing gasket to exclude dirt and moisture, plus two-part polymer epoxy plug potting to further prevent moisture wicking and failures from shock or vibration. Custom cable lengths and harness assemblies with up to six plugs are made to order.
