Customers seeking fast-track delivery of the
single-pole VEAM Snaplock power connector,
from ITT, will find it highlighted on Farnell's
main website before it enters the main
catalogue in 2008!
Snaplock family connectors take up to 250A
and are 30% smaller than VEAM's Powerlock
connectors, which are rated at up to 660A.
Both families have a similar connection
band, giving minimal power loss over 500
mating cycles.
Comments ITT's Product Manager, Nick
Lewis: "When a means of rapidly connecting
high power lines to equipment is required,
customers need a connector with a secure
locking mechanism which can be quickly
released. Source contacts must be finger
proof and the connection sealed. Snaplock
connectors offer these features, plus a high
number of mating cycles and a compact
design. We are sure that Farnell's wide
customer base in applications such as high
power lighting, video and audio equipment, battery-powered
|
vehicles and mass transit
systems will be pleased to know that they
can access Snaplock connectors
immediately through the famous Farnell
catalogue and website."
Snaplock connectors can be configured with
a range of crimp contacts to take 25mm² to
75mm²/4 AWG to 00 AWG cables. Crimp
cable contacts are held in the insulator by a
retention clip. Panel connectors have M12
threaded post contacts to connect to lugged
cable. Insulators are colour coded and
made from a high impact, UL94-V0 material.
Locked against accidental disconnection
while allowing quick release of the cable
connectors, Snaplock pins feature IP2X
finger protection via a non-conductive cap
on the pin contacts. When mated, an
environmental seal to IP67 is achieved.
