Benefits
- Inserts from the EPIC® H-BE series are regarded as classics in the industry and are ideal for use at higher voltages and currents.
- In the EPIC® H-BE series, inserts of different connection types can be combined with one another (screw, crimp, cage spring or push-in) within the same size.
- Crimp termination creates a vibration-proof connection, provides maximum contact protection between the contact and cable and is suitable for automated assembly.
- Suitable for conductor cross-sections from 0.14 to 4.00 mm².
- Made of robust polycarbonate (flammability class V-0 according to the UL94 testing procedure for the flammability of plastics).
- Compliant with standards for use in railway vehicles (fire behaviour test according to DIN EN 45545-2:2016-02, requirements sets R22 and R23, hazard levels HL1, HL2 and HL3).
- UL certification according to technical data enables the product to be used on the North American market.
- Wide variety of suitable housing variants.
Applications
- For connecting devices and machines to a power supply in various applications.
- Suitable for wiring inside control cabinets.
- For transmission of control signals to actuators.
- Typical applications include platform, lighting and lifting technology.
