Recently introduced by Tyco Electronics, HTS brand HSK 4+2 industrial connectors are specifically designed for drive (3Phase + Ground + Signalling) and heating (3Phase + Neutral + Ground + Signalling) appliances; or any application at <40A requiring 3Phase-, 1 Neutral- and 1Ground-line connectors.
Featuring screw-terminations that are easy to install in the field and 4-position 40A/500V + Ground + 2-FMLB contacts, the new devices require 30% less space than comparable connectors due to a new compact design.
Manufactured from RoHS compliant and UL 94 V0 materials, HSK 4+2 connectors feature a nominal voltage of 500V, a test voltage of 4kV as well as pollution degree 3. Metal covers ensure useability for up to IP68 applications.
Using first-make-last-break-contacts for signalling, the devices mate to cables from 2.5 up to 6mm² diameter and meet VDE, UL as well as CSA specifications. HSK 4+2 dimensions meet latest EN 61984 standards.
