Industrial connectors has easy termination systems
To meet the requirement for smaller yet higher performing power connectors for industrial applications, Hirose has introduced the EF1 series of DIN-Rail mount, in-line receptacle and plug and a panel mount type in-line receptacle and plug. Both accept high power crimp contacts with the capacity to handle up to 160A current rating.
The EF1 series connector design allows the crimped cable to be inserted into the connector housing in a quick, one-step operation. The crimp contact can be easily terminated to the cable with a standard market commodity JIS C 9711 hand tool.
The snap-in lock provides a positive tactile confirmation of correct mating engagement and secure connection. The shape of the internal spring contact and contact points allows the optimum contact force to maintain a highly reliable stable connection, says Hirose.
The housing features four different mating keying styles to prevent incorrect mating when multiple connectors are used. The connectors are available in red to define the plus or minus connection.
Voltage rating is AC/DC 1000V and operating temperature is -25 to +105 degrees C.
Suitable applications are power controllers, inverters, storage battery, medical devices and robot controllers.
