Opto 22 Introduces SNAP TEX Product Line

By DE Editors

Opto 22 (Temecula, CA) introduced the SNAP TEX family of mounting and wiring accessories, which includes a variety of terminal extender cables, breakout boards, wiring harnesses, DIN-rail kits, jumper straps, rack adapters, and other components for mounting and wiring Opto 22 automation, control, and I/O systems.

The SNAP TEX line was created to reduce the time, expense, and complexity associated with field instrumentation wiring and control cabinet assembly.

The first products in the new SNAP TEX line are SNAP TEX cables, six feet (1.8 m) long jacketed, pre-wired cables that provide neat, bundled connections from analog and digital I/O modules to field devices, terminal strips, and breakout boards. SNAP TEX cables snap neatly into the tops of SNAP I/O modules and terminate with color-coded flying leads, pre-stripped and tipped, ready for wiring. By providing snap-in, easy-to-trace wiring from the module to the device, SNAP-TEX cables reduce wiring mistakes, protect terminal connections from dust and jarring, and also speed and simplify both initial wiring and subsequent maintenance and replacement.

The SNAP TEX product family includes several new breakout boards: the SNAP-TEX-32, the SNAP-TEX-FB16-H, the SNAP-TEX-FB16-L, the SNAP-TEX-MR10-16, and the SNAP-TEX-MR10-4. Also offered is an assortment of wiring harnesses (used for connecting field devices to high-density SNAP I/O modules), jumper connection straps (used with digital I/O modules), DIN-rail mounting kits, module removal tools, and other accessories.
