High-power mains connectors
10 June 2009
Interconnection
New from Bulgin is a range of high power mains connectors for applications up to 20 A, 250 V a.c.
The C19, PX0599, re-wireable female cable connector has screw termination and is suitable for 3 x 12 AWG or 3 x 2,5 mm² harmonised cables up to 12 mm in diameter. The cable protection sleeve is tapered so that it can be easily trimmed to suit different cable diameters.
The C20 panel mounted inlet is available in two versions: the flange mounting PX0596, for screw fixing and snap-to-panel; and the PX0598, suitable for 1,0, 1,5, 2,0 and 3,0 mm panels. Both types have either 4,8 mm or 6,3 mm spade terminations. To complement these connectors is a retaining clip, to ensure a secure vibration-proof connection and an insulation boot to cover the rear of the panel inlet to eliminate the potential of accidental shock.
The connectors are moulded in a flame retardant UL94V-0 rated nylon, incorporating solid brass contact pins. Operating temperature is from -40°C to +70°C. Designed to meet UL, CSA, VDE and IMQ safety standards, the connectors are suitable for many applications within power distribution and higher-power equipment and appliances.
