Push-Pull Connector for Automated Test Equipment 2026: CBZC1BG-SFSM07-0000 and CBTA1BG-SMSM07-0000 for High-Precision Test, Measurement and Industrial Robotics for US Customers

Spring Technology supplied US customers with a push-pull connector for automated test equipment — the CBZC1BG-SFSM07-0000 backplane socket with 7 print contacts and the CBTA1BG-SMSM07-0000 rigid panel plug — routing serial and encoder signal matrices on lab servers, chip testers and robotic control boxes, with gold-plated contacts rated for over 5,000 mating cycles. Every specification in this guide is backed by the precision interconnect engineering of Spring Technology.

Pain point: Routing dense signal matrices in high-precision systems — where modular lab servers and automated chip-testers need serial lines straight into the microprocessor board, and robotic tool-changers need encoder and sensor loops through a rigid bulkhead interface?

Core answer: For US customers in high-precision test, measurement and industrial robotics, Spring Technology supplied a 1B series push-pull connector for automated test equipment: the CBZC1BG-SFSM07-0000 socket and the CBTA1BG-SMSM07-0000 plug. The socket is integrated onto the backplane of modular laboratory data-logging servers or automated chip-testers, where its 7 print contacts route a dense matrix of serial communication lines (such as RS-422, CAN-bus or SPI data streams) right down into the circuit board’s microprocessors. The plug is installed on the exterior metal wall of a heavy industrial automated tool-changer or a multi-axis robotic control box, functioning as a rigid, panel-fixed interface that funnels 7 lines of encoder position metrics and proximity sensor loops through a central bulkhead.

This automated test equipment connector pair combines the ZCG.1B fixed socket and the TAG.1B fixed plug, two 1B series designs built for dense, reliable signal routing. The socket uses PCB print contacts for direct board-level connection; the plug provides a rigid panel-fixed interface for bulkhead routing.

• Latching Mechanism: Push-pull self-latching system (anti-vibration & shockproof)
• Recommended Hardware: Spring Technology Circular Connector
• Key Metric: 7-line serial/encoder matrix; PCB print contacts; rigid panel-fixed plug; >5,000 mating cycles

High-precision test systems separate board-level routing from bulkhead-level routing. The design highlights below are why this push-pull connector for automated test equipment is specified for lab and robotic applications:

• 7 print contacts into the microprocessor board — the CBZC1BG-SFSM07-0000 routes RS-422, CAN-bus or SPI data streams directly down into the circuit board’s microprocessors via PCB print termination.
• Rigid panel-fixed plug — the CBTA1BG-SMSM07-0000 installs on the exterior metal wall of tool-changers and robotic control boxes as a fixed bulkhead interface.
• Dense serial communication matrix — 7 lines carry serial protocols and sensor loops without mixing signal groups.
• Encoder and proximity routing — the panel plug funnels 7 lines of encoder position metrics and proximity sensor loops through a central bulkhead.
• Gold-plated contacts — stable, low-resistance paths for precise measurement and motion feedback signals.
• Proven durability — >5,000 mating cycles and 100 g·6 ms shock tolerance for continuous lab and factory operation.

The 1B series is Spring Technology’s mid-size push-pull connector family, widely used for signal-dense instruments and control systems. The socket and plug in this order share the same 1B platform, and both are available with the termination styles that test and robotics systems need.

• Sockets: fixed sockets with PCB print contacts (this order), solder contacts, elbow PCB contacts, in 1B shell size.
• Plugs: fixed plugs (this order), straight plugs, elbow plugs, plugs with bend relief.
• Pin counts: 2 to 16 pins, solder or PCB print termination.
• Keying: key G standard, with keys A–M and R available for multi-connector segregation.

• Custom pin allocations and part numbers (such as the CBZC1BG-SFSM07-0000 / CBTA1BG-SMSM07-0000 pair) matched to each system’s signal plan.
• PCB print and solder termination options for backplane and panel integration.
• Key orientation selection to keep serial, encoder and sensor circuits segregated.
• Pre-wired cable assemblies for robotic and test system harnesses.

From the backplane of a chip tester to the bulkhead of a robotic tool-changer, this push-pull connector for automated test equipment covers the signal links of high-precision systems.

Integrated onto the backplane of modular lab servers, the CBZC1BG-SFSM07-0000 routes serial communication lines directly into the board’s microprocessors, keeping data-logging channels clean and dense.

Automated chip-testers move large numbers of serial signals between test cards and controllers. The 7 print contacts of this socket carry RS-422, CAN-bus and SPI data streams reliably at board level.

Heavy industrial automated tool-changers and multi-axis robotic control boxes route encoder position metrics and proximity sensor loops through the exterior wall. The rigid, panel-fixed CBTA1BG-SMSM07-0000 provides that central bulkhead interface.

This 1B connector delivery for US customers shows how Spring Technology covers the board-level and bulkhead-level signal links of high-precision systems — from the CBZC1BG-SFSM07-0000 backplane socket to the CBTA1BG-SMSM07-0000 panel plug, every detail was aligned with the customer’s test, measurement and robotics requirements. Spring Technology also provides professional customization services for both push-pull connectors and cable assemblies, offering tailored solutions to meet your specific technical requirements.
