Binder has introduced its new Not Connected Closed (NCC) family of circular connectors, which automatically close the interface when disconnected, providing protection against external factors such as dust and moisture. NCC connectors, with this innovative solution, ensure the protection of electrical connections in industrial, test and measurement, and medical systems.

### NCC Connector Family Features

• Thanks to the spring-loaded cover on the female panel connector, contacts are automatically closed when the connector is disconnected, providing protection against external environmental effects.
• 670 series: Five-pin, subminiature design.
• 770 series: Eight-pin, miniature design.
• Both series support signal and low-power applications.
• Compliant with environmental and health standards due to its DEHP-free plastic housing.
• The 670 series provides IP54 protection when plugged in and IP67 protection when fully mated.
• The 770 series has IP67 protection both when connected and disconnected.
• A robust bayonet locking mechanism allows for quick and tool-free connection, preventing disconnections caused by vibrations and movements.
• The 670 series is resistant to over 1000 mating and unmating cycles; the 770 series is suitable for 5000 mating cycles.

### Medical Applications and Durability
The 770 series offers an ideal solution for devices in the healthcare sector with its medical-grade version, compliant with ISO 10993-5 standard. This standard guarantees biocompatibility against cell toxicity. The connectors are designed for practical and reliable use in systems that require frequent plugging and unplugging.

Binder Product Manager Jana Wagner emphasizes that the NCC family is easy and user-friendly while providing strong protection even when disconnected. This design stands out as an ideal solution for users who require reliable performance and clean electrical contacts in industrial environments.
