Turck Minifast Cordset

The Turck Minifast cordset connects the sensor to the display/data acquisition instrumentation and transmits the output signal. These cable assemblies allow for plug and play installation without the need to solder, crimp, or over-mold cable. In addition, these cordsets easily mate with Core Sensors electrical connection option “H.” For detailed wiring information, visit our Wiring Guide.

Turck Minifast for Easy Installation

When installing a Class I, Division 2 pressure transducer with a Turck Minifast electrical connector, a Lokfast guard is necessary to maintain the hazardous area approval. The Lokfast guard is placed over the connection between the pressure transducer and the Turck Minifast cordset. In doing so, this locks the connection in place. A tool then must be used to remove the Lokfast guard.

Using the Minifast in Class 1, Div 2 Hazardous Area Locations

Installing pressure transducers in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations can be a frustrating experience due to the limits of electrical connection options available. For Class I, Division 2 Non-Incendive installations, pressure transducers commonly offer a conduit connection and integral cable. While this is a reliable installation method, connecting and routing conduit piping over the instrument cable can be cumbersome. This is especially true when working with long lengths of cable or when a pressure transducer needs removal for calibration or for exchange with another transducer. In an effort to simplify this process, we now offer the Turck Minifast integral connector on all Class I, Division 2 model families including the CS50, CS51, and CS54.

The Turck Minifast allows for quick installation via a thread connection and does not require the use of a conduit. In addition to making installation simpler, the Minifast connector is a high strength, robust connection option that offers a minimum IP66 rating. Please note that IP rating of the transducer will depend on the model number configuration. Contact us for more information.
