The IFM EVC145 is a rugged and contamination-free connector engineered for reliable performance in industrial automation systems. Designed for use in demanding environments where exposure to oils, coolants, and harsh operating conditions is common, it combines safety, durability, and contamination-free operation to ensure dependable electrical connectivity.

One of the defining characteristics of the EVC145 is its silicone-free design, which eliminates the risk of contamination in sensitive manufacturing processes. In sectors such as automotive production, painting, surface coating, and cleanroom manufacturing, even minimal silicone traces can cause paint adhesion defects or surface imperfections. The silicone-free construction of the EVC145 makes it a trusted choice for applications where maintaining pristine conditions and product quality is essential.

The connector is optimised for safe low-voltage operation, with ratings of < 50 V AC and < 60 V DC. With its Protection Class III certification, the EVC145 provides safe extra-low-voltage functionality, protecting both equipment and operators. This ensures compliance with international safety standards while offering reliable integration into modern control and automation systems.

Despite its compact design, the EVC145 supports a maximum total current load of 3 A, making it suitable for powering and connecting a wide range of sensors, actuators, and automation devices. Its balance of voltage compatibility, current handling capacity, and safety ensures stable and consistent performance in diverse industrial applications.

The EVC145 is engineered for durability in harsh conditions. Specifically resistant to oils, coolants, and industrial contaminants, it is built to maintain reliable connections even in the most challenging production environments. Whether exposed to machining fluids, mechanical vibrations, or variable operating conditions, the EVC145 delivers long-term reliability and reduced maintenance requirements.

Another strength of the EVC145 is its wide ambient temperature range of -25…90 °C, applicable to both static and moving conditions. This makes it suitable not only for stationary control cabinets but also for dynamic systems such as robotics, conveyors, and automated handling equipment, where cables and connectors are subjected to constant motion and stress. Its ability to endure movement without performance loss ensures long service life in applications with demanding mechanical requirements.

The EVC145 finds application across industries such as automotive manufacturing, packaging, food and beverage processing, robotics, and general machinery production. Its silicone-free design ensures compliance with contamination-sensitive operations, while its rugged build and thermal adaptability provide a reliable solution for harsh industrial settings.

In summary, the IFM EVC145 is a durable and contamination-free connector tailored for industrial automation. With its silicone-free construction, safe extra-low-voltage design, 3 A current handling capacity, and resilience in oil- and coolant-heavy environments, it provides engineers with a versatile and dependable solution for maintaining safe, stable, and long-lasting connectivity in demanding applications.
