New crimped contact design launched for MARECHAL’s multipin connectors
MARECHAL has further enhanced its range of multi-pin connectors by offering the user a new design of crimped contact. Quick and easy to use, these connectors are designed for the transmission of power, signal and data in one connector thus providing greater operational flexibility whilst reducing the bench time required to make them off.
Comprehensive multipin range
The new crimped contact design is available with up to 37 contacts in both the IP66/67 DSN and DXN ATEX types as well as the industrial IP54 DS versions. The more compact industrial PN12C and ATEX PXN12C versions offer 12 contacts. They are all rated to 10A at a maximum of 415V (PN12C, 500V). Each socket and plug is supplied with the requisite number of contacts in multiples of 13. Socket and plug contacts can be removed from the housing using the tool supplied, crimped and then re-inserted into the socket/plug using the same tool.
Patented safety technology
MARECHAL’s DECONTACTOR™ offers a patented design including the plug release latch on the socket. When pressed the plug is ejected from the socket to a parked position, off load and providing visible isolation of the equipment in use. Contacts are silver-nickel tipped and spring loaded for better electrical performance. Whilst being crimpable the new contact design can also be soldered if preferred. The DECONTACTOR™ offers MARECHAL’s on load make and break capability for additional user safety.
Reducing maintenance costs
Replacing hard-wired connections in junction boxes with a quick release DECONTACTOR™ reduces plant downtime or conversely, speeds up maintenance time by being able to isolate equipment in seconds. Whether washing down, re-arranging machine locations or making repairs, downtime is substantially reduced without compromising user safety.
Long-term reliability
Contacts are housed in a choice of robust casings – polyester or metal – with suitable accessories available for each type. Both casings resist corrosion and vibration whilst offering over 2000 mating cycles. Shock resistance is IK08 for poly and IK09 for metal housings with both rated to IP66/67 for water and dust ingress. The ingress seal is achieved automatically as the plug is inserted into the socket or socket lid closed.
The all-round quality of the DECONTACTOR™ multipin range is the reason it is installed in so many diverse industries including food & beverage, shipping, chemical , waste water and oil & gas.
