BradConnectivity™ solutions for DeviceNet
The BradConnectivity™ line up of DeviceNet media is the standard by which all other DeviceNet connection media are measured. We pioneered the market for miniature industrially rated sealed connectors presenting the first quick disconnect alternative to hardwiring. Today BradConnectivity products bring this same quality and durability to the same connectors used in DeviceNet networks. Choices and feature-rich products make them reassuring to specify as part of your DeviceNet system. From tees, splitters and passive boxes, diagnostic aids such as the PowerMonitor tees, to the simple-to-use handheld diagnostic NetMeter, BradConnectivity products are your choice for DeviceNet infrastructure products.

Mini-Change connectors:
  • Phosphur bronze contacts - the best contact material in the industry - provides better yield strength and increased resistance to stress

    BradConnectivity™ solutions for Profibus
    BradConnectivity™ products offer the benefits of quick-connect - fast machine commissioning, the elimination of wiring errors, and simple, device additions and replacements - to Profibus networks.

    Mini-Change connectors are used to provide the quick-disconnect feature to the auxiliary power for active I/O modules.
  • Quad Beam design of contacts assures consistent pressure is maintained over the life of the connector, assuring reliable performance

  • Gold over nickel plating for highest reliability

  • E-coated coupling nut for resistance to weld slag. Anti-vibration feature prevents back-out. Stainless steel optional for food/beverage or outdoor environments


  • Reverse key Micro-Change connectors are used to connect the data line from one device to another. Input and output connections connect into the blocks via reliable Micro-Change family of products.
  • Gold over nickel plating for highest reliability

  • Over-molded materials designed for industrial environments and provide stress relief

  • Nickel-plated brass coupling and shell assembly provides grounding for a fully shielded head design. Anti-vibration feature prevents back-out


  • Profibus standard 9-pin D-Sub connectors are pre-connected and tested to eliminate wiring errors caused by traditional hard wiring.
  • D-Sub connector with termination switch and built-in diagnostics provides flexibility in the field


  • Whether it's active I/O modules or simple terminators, Brad products offer a complete package to make Profibus truly a "plug and play" network.

    BradConnectivity™ solutions for Ethernet
    Standard Ethernet cabling and connectors were designed with an office environment in mind, and aren't intended to withstand the environmental conditions commonly found on a factory floor or in harsh commerical applications. The BradConnectivity line of Ethernet products overcomes this obstacle by combining standard RJ-45 connection technology with the industrially proven form-factor, or by utilizing industry-standard Micro-Change M12 connection technology. The result is a lineup of products designed to preserve the integrity of your data transmission even in the harshest settings. Specific benefits include:

  • Sealing against environmental contaminants

  • Protection against the effects of vibration

  • Provides a secure robust connection

  • Performs in electrically noisy conditions
