Ask any electrical support engineer what is the worst part of any electrical system and they will immediately talk about the jumble of wiring. Inevitably, legacy wiring leaves a lot to be desired and is a serious issue in many industries. But today, things are changing. Traditionally, if there was a need to wire 8 slim relays, 16 connections had to be made. That translates as 16 connections on the input side as well as on the output side - a total of 32 wires. Taken together with the multiplicity of wires in the duct, it can become a nightmare for system maintenance.

The Connectwell combination solution of a slim relay Adapter + Prefab cable reduces the multiple wires down to one multi-core cable. Instead of 16 individual wires, a singe prefab cable with a custom build connector can be connected to the PLC/Controller, thus making wiring duct management easy. The adaptor is available in configurations such as Common Positive on the input side and output side, Common Negative on the input as well output side, making customisation easier for individual client requirements. This makes it easy to use along with the DI as well DO instead of Multi-channel relay boards.

Another issue with the growing number of connectors, is the potential probability of an increase in wire termination errors. The Connectwell slim relay adapter and prefab cable combination side-steps this problem. Customisation allows system support staff to simply plug a Connectwell adapter into the slim relays and plug the wire into the adapter. This eliminates the chances of human errors.

Every electrical project manager knows that a wiring project is never complete till each circuit is tested. Conventionally, during such a Factory Acceptance Test, a trained technician would require to be at every panel placement. That’s because the technician would have to wire and unwire lines individually from each slim relay during test operations. This is not only laborious, it can delay the project significantly. The Connectwell plug-in slim relay adapter and Prefab solution is a modular system that simplifies the testing to such a degree that it will not require highly skilled technicians to unplug or plug in specific circuits.

With the quality control, time and manpower saving advantages of the Connectwell Slim Relay, Adapter and Prefab cable, business efficiencies get a major boost. Enabling competitive implementation times as well as quality builds that can revolutionize the business build and test times.
