CBTG0BG Push-Pull Connectors for Industrial Laser Trackers 2026: 5, 6 and 7-Contact 0B Plugs for Precision Metrology Interfaces

The CBTG0BG-SMSM05-D52B, CBTG0BG-SMSM06-D52B and CBTG0BG-SMSM07-D52B are CBTG0BG push-pull connectors for industrial laser trackers — three compact 0B series plugs offering 5, 6 and 7 low-voltage contacts, up to 5 A rated current, 0.5 mm contacts on the multi-signal variants, shielding of at least 75 dB at 10 MHz and up to 5,000 mating cycles. Every specification in this guide is backed by the precision metrology interconnect engineering of Spring Technology.

Pain point: Keeping power, sensor, trigger and status circuits stable inside a laser tracker — where a loose connection, an accidental cable disconnection or signal interference can interrupt a measurement operation and take the whole system offline?

Core answer: Spring Technology supplies three 0B series connectors that can be evaluated for different power, control, sensor and trigger interfaces inside an industrial laser tracker system. These are high-precision measurement systems used for large-scale dimensional inspection, alignment, assembly verification and coordinate measurement, integrating an optical measurement system, tracking mechanism, angular measurement components, distance measurement electronics, control circuits and external communication interfaces. Because the equipment is built for high-precision work, connector stability is critical — so the three contact configurations let designers match connector to circuit count without changing mechanical envelope.

1. Technical Parameters & Engineering Standards

All three connectors are built on the 0B series push-pull platform, a compact circular connector family for professional measurement equipment.

  • Latching Mechanism: Push-pull self-latching mechanism on all three models (connect and release without rotating a threaded coupling nut)
  • Recommended Hardware: Spring Technology Circular Connector
  • Key Metric: 5, 6 and 7-contact 0B plugs; up to 5 A; 0.5 mm contacts on signal variants

2. Advantages of CBTG0BG-SMSM05-D52B

The 5-contact version handles the power and control end of the system. These advantages explain why it belongs in a CBTG0BG push-pull connectors for industrial laser trackers specification:

2.1 Five Contacts for Auxiliary Power and Control

  • The connector provides 5 low-voltage contacts with AWG 30–22 conductor support, a rated current of 5 A and a maximum conductor size of 0.34 mm². In an industrial laser tracker this configuration can be evaluated for an auxiliary power or combined power/control interface where several low-voltage circuits must pass through one compact connector.

2.2 Compact Connection for Measurement Equipment

  • As part of a compact circular connector family, the plug uses a cable diameter range of approximately 4.30–5.20 mm, keeping cable assemblies compact around the measurement head — useful where internal space around optical, mechanical and electronic modules is limited.

2.3 Push-Pull Connection for Fast Maintenance

  • The push-pull self-latching mechanism lets operators connect and release the cable without rotating a threaded coupling nut, improving service convenience on metrology equipment that needs frequent setup, calibration, maintenance or accessory replacement.

3. Advantages of CBTG0BG-SMSM06-D52B

The 6-contact version covers sensor and control wiring. These advantages explain why it belongs in a CBTG0BG push-pull connectors for industrial laser trackers specification:

3.1 Six Contacts for Multi-Signal Interfaces

  • With 6 low-voltage contacts at a 3 A rated current, AWG 34–28 wire support and solder termination, the connector suits compact interfaces for sensor signals, control signals, status lines or other low-current circuits inside a laser tracker.

3.2 Suitable for Compact Sensor Connections

  • A 0.5 mm contact diameter integrates multiple low-voltage contacts into a compact 0B body, helping connect compact sensor or control assemblies without a large connector footprint.

3.3 Stable Connection Under Mechanical Movement

  • Specified for up to 100 g shock and 15 g vibration over 10~20000 Hz with a 5,000 mating cycle endurance rating, the connector suits equipment repeatedly positioned, transported, installed or adjusted during measurement operations.

4. Advantages of CBTG0BG-SMSM07-D52B

The 7-contact version carries the densest low-current signal set. These advantages explain why it belongs in a CBTG0BG push-pull connectors for industrial laser trackers specification:

4.1 Seven Contacts for More Complex Control Wiring

  • Seven low-voltage contacts with a 3 A rated current and AWG 34–28 conductor support give greater flexibility when a laser tracker must combine several control, trigger, status or sensor circuits in one connector.

4.2 Useful for Trigger and Status Signals

  • A seven-contact configuration suits interfaces carrying multiple low-current signals such as measurement trigger, sensor status, system enable, interlock signal, positioning feedback, auxiliary control and signal ground. The exact pin assignment must be determined according to the equipment manufacturer’s electrical design.

4.3 Shielded Connection for Measurement Environments

  • Shielding performance of at least 75 dB at 10 MHz and 40 dB at 1 GHz helps reduce the potential impact of electromagnetic interference on low-level control and sensor signals in precision measurement equipment.

5. Why Choose 0B Push-Pull Connectors for Industrial Laser Trackers?

Laser trackers are precision instruments that often operate around machine tools, robotic equipment, motors, drives and other electrical systems. The three connectors provide several advantages for this type of equipment:

  • Compact Design: the 0B family provides a compact circular interface while supporting multiple low-voltage contacts, reducing connector and cable-interface space inside compact measurement equipment.
  • Push-Pull Self-Latching: quick mating and release while maintaining a secure connection during normal equipment operation.
  • Mechanical Reliability: all three configurations are designed for demanding mechanical conditions, with high shock and vibration resistance and up to 5,000 mating cycles.
  • Electromagnetic Shielding: shielding up to 75 dB at 10 MHz and 40 dB at 1 GHz matters where electrical noise can affect sensitive signal interfaces.
  • Multiple Contact Configurations: the availability of 5-, 6- and 7-contact versions lets designers select a connector according to the number of power and signal circuits required.

6. Applications: Industrial Laser Tracker Systems

Metrology systems depend on every interface staying connected. These CBTG0BG push-pull connectors for industrial laser trackers serve the measurement chain.

6.1 Measurement Heads and Auxiliary Sensor Modules

Laser tracker measurement heads and auxiliary sensor modules use the 5 and 6-contact versions for power, control and sensor circuits.

6.2 Control Electronics and Signal Interfaces

Laser tracker control electronics, angular measurement assemblies and distance measurement subsystems use the 6 and 7-contact versions for status, trigger and feedback wiring.

6.3 Positioning, Alignment and Large-Scale Measurement Systems

Tracker positioning and alignment modules, portable laser metrology equipment and large-scale coordinate measurement systems benefit from the compact 0B format.

Discover reliable options from a certified vendor like [Spring Technology](https://www.spring-connectors.com/).

**Answer:** The 5-contact version supports AWG 30–22 with a maximum conductor size of 0.34 mm², the 6 and 7-contact versions support AWG 34–28, and 0B cable openings span 1.5–5.5 mm with jacket assemblies around 4.30–5.20 mm.

**Answer:** Shielding of at least 75 dB at 10 MHz and 40 dB at 1 GHz helps protect low-level control and sensor signals from electromagnetic interference generated by nearby machine tools, motors and drives.

**Answer:** All three are specified for up to 5,000 mating cycles with 100 g shock resistance and 15 g vibration resistance over 10~20000 Hz, suiting equipment that is repeatedly positioned, transported and adjusted.

**Answer:** Yes — all three belong to the 0B connector family with the same push-pull self-latching mechanism and TG straight plug format, so power, sensor and signal interfaces stay mechanically consistent across the system.
