Hirose introduce the EM-M series, high current capacity, power supply connector
Hirose have introduced the EM-M range to meet with the increased demand for high powered connectors offering advanced reliability for industrial equipment. The connector range consists of plugs and receptacles that have the capacity to handle up to 50A current rating.
The innovative connector design incorporates three 50A power contacts and one ground contact. The contacts are arranged in sequence to ensure the ground contact is connected before the power contacts during the mating process. A further benefit is a special protective cover over the female contacts that minimises the exposure of the contact area which could be easily damaged. Termination of the crimp contact is quick and easy using standard JIS crimping tools. A contact removal tool is available to effortlessly remove the contact.
The connector housing features integrated hooks which allow the receptacle to be mounted on to a 35mm DIN rail to offer design flexibility. The connector can withstand high mechanical stress, up to 200N of cable pull force (pulled vertically) can be applied. The robust snap-on lock provides secure mating with an audible tactile click to confirm correct engagement.
It is possible to apply customised keying arrangements to prevent mis-mating of multiple connectors. Up to ten different keying combinations are possible through optional keys.
