The IFM EVC004 is a high-performance connection solution developed to meet the demanding requirements of modern industrial automation. Featuring a silicone- and halogen-free design, gold-plated contacts, and drag chain suitability, it combines contamination-free operation with durability and electrical reliability. Specifically engineered for use in environments exposed to oils, coolants, and continuous motion, the EVC004 ensures dependable performance even under challenging conditions.

A major advantage of the EVC004 is its silicone- and halogen-free composition. In industries such as automotive manufacturing, painting, and coating, silicone contamination can cause significant issues with surface adhesion and finish quality. Similarly, halogen-free materials contribute to improved fire safety and environmental compliance. By eliminating these substances, the EVC004 guarantees that it can be deployed in sensitive environments without risk of contamination or safety concerns.

The connector is also optimised for long-lasting electrical reliability. Its gold-plated contacts provide enhanced conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, and secure signal transmission. This ensures stable operation over the lifetime of the system, even when subjected to harsh industrial conditions like humidity, exposure to oils, or contact with coolants. These high-quality contacts reduce the likelihood of connection failures, helping minimise downtime and maintenance costs.

Designed with drag chain suitability, the EVC004 excels in dynamic applications where cables and connectors are subjected to continuous motion and flexing. This makes it particularly valuable in robotics, automated handling systems, and machine tools, where components are constantly moving. Its durability ensures consistent connectivity and performance in applications that demand flexibility without compromising reliability.

The EVC004 also provides robust electrical specifications. With an operating voltage of up to 250 V AC or 300 V DC and a maximum current load of 4 A, it offers wide compatibility across a range of automation systems. Rated to Protection Class II, the unit provides double insulation for safe low-voltage operation, enhancing both system and operator safety.

Adaptability to environmental conditions is another strength of the EVC004. It operates reliably in an ambient temperature range of -25…90 °C, making it suitable for use in diverse environments—from refrigerated warehouses to high-temperature manufacturing plants. Its rugged construction ensures that it can handle both the physical and environmental demands of industrial use.

The EVC004 is suitable for a wide variety of industries, including automotive manufacturing, robotics, packaging systems, process industries, and general machinery production. Its resistance to oils and coolants makes it particularly useful in machining and fluid-intensive applications where standard connectors might fail prematurely.

In summary, the IFM EVC004 is a robust and reliable connector tailored for industrial automation. With its silicone- and halogen-free construction, gold-plated contacts, drag chain suitability, and safe electrical performance, it provides engineers with a dependable, contamination-free, and durable solution for ensuring stable connectivity in harsh and dynamic environments.
