CBTG31FN Push-Pull Connector for Machine Vision Cameras 2026: 31F Series 19-Pin Connector for Industrial Vision and AOI Systems for US Market
The CBTG31FN-SMSM19-D52B is a CBTG31FN push-pull connector for machine vision cameras — a 19-pin, low-voltage circular push-pull self-locking connector with a compact cable-mount body for cables from approximately 2.2 mm to 7.2 mm, designed for cable connections between industrial machine vision cameras and control or data acquisition systems. Every specification in this guide is backed by the machine vision interconnect engineering of Spring Technology.
Pain point: Connecting industrial machine vision cameras that need power, triggering, synchronization and control signals at the same time — where threaded connectors slow down installation and maintenance, and interface space on AOI equipment is tight?
Core answer: For the US market, Spring Technology supplied the CBTG31FN-SMSM19-D52B, a 31F Series 19-pin CBTG31FN push-pull connector for machine vision cameras. Industrial machine vision cameras require simultaneous connections for power, triggering, synchronization and control signals, so the connectors used must provide stable electrical connections while meeting requirements for multi-pin configurations, miniaturization and quick mating/unmating. This 19-pin, low-voltage circular push-pull self-locking connector is designed for cable connections between industrial machine vision cameras and control or data acquisition systems.
1. Technical Parameters & Engineering Standards
This machine vision connector is built on the TGN.1031F miniature plug platform in the 31F (1031F) shell family, which supports 19-pin layouts and uses a cable collet with arc-shaped metal guides.
- Latching Mechanism: Push-pull self-locking mechanism (quick mating, no repeated rotation)
- Recommended Hardware: Spring Technology Circular Connector
- Key Metric: 19 low-voltage contacts; cable collet for 2.2–7.2 mm cables; compact interface footprint

2. Machine Vision Connector Design Highlights
Vision systems on production lines demand many signals in a small interface. The design highlights below explain why this CBTG31FN push-pull connector for machine vision cameras is ideally suited for industrial vision equipment:
- 19-pin multi-signal design — equipped with 19 low-voltage contacts, the connector consolidates the various electrical signals required by the camera into a single connector, reducing the number of interfaces and simplifying cable routing.
- Push-pull structure for fast maintenance — unlike traditional threaded connectors that require repeated rotation to lock, the push-pull self-locking mechanism allows rapid connection and disconnection during installation, commissioning, positioning adjustments and maintenance.
- Compact cable-mount body — suitable for cables from approximately 2.2 mm to 7.2 mm, it minimizes the footprint of the interface area and offers greater flexibility in equipment cabling.
- Reliable locking for long-term operation — the self-locking mechanism maintains a secure lock once connected, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnection from equipment operation or cable movement.
- Built for production environments — industrial vision systems run continuously on automated production equipment, and the stable lock keeps the camera-to-controller link secure.
- Gold-plated contacts — stable paths for low-voltage trigger, sync and I/O signals.

4. Applications: Industrial Machine Vision Cameras
From production-line inspection cameras to AOI stations, machine vision systems need interfaces that are fast to service and stable in operation. This CBTG31FN push-pull connector for machine vision cameras delivers both.
4.1 Industrial Machine Vision Cameras
The 19-pin connector links cameras to control or data acquisition systems, carrying power, triggering, synchronization and I/O control in one cable run.
4.2 Automated Optical Inspection Equipment
AOI equipment inspects products at production speed; the compact cable-mount connector keeps camera interfaces small and serviceable on the line.
4.3 Space-Constrained Vision Inspection Modules
For modules where interface space is limited, the miniature 31F body reduces the connector footprint and gives designers more freedom in equipment cabling.
