■Overview
High quality connectors combining two different current
capacity power contacts and signal contacts, allowing power
connections and signal control between power rectifier units.
■Features
1. Sequential power connection
Power contacts can be arranged to connect in 3-stage
sequence (Fig. 1)
2. Live line connection (low current contacts)
Connectors can be mated / un-mated with power applied
through the low current contacts.
Safety rated at 35 A, 120 V (50 insertions/removals).
3. Protection against contact deformation
Below-configured signal contacts will not deform during
mating of the connectors.
4. Crimp termination
Crimp termination of the conductors for the Low current
and Signal contacts.
5. Threaded termination
Threaded termination with a separate crimp ring terminal,
spring washer and M6 screw for the High current
contacts.
6. Self-alignment when mating
Increased self-alignment within ± 0.5mm, with the use of
Floating Screws to mount the plug or receptacle
assemblies.
■Applications
Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), power supplies for
base stations, electric cars, power supplies of
semiconductor manufacturing machines, electrical
generators and other large-current power supplies.
Insertion and removal of live wires: 35 A - 120 V, 50 cycles
