HR41A series, small, high current capacity, IP68 waterproof, circular connectors from Hirose
Hirose have introduced the HR41A range to meet with the requirement for compact, high powered connectors offering advanced reliability in outdoor harsh environments.
The connector range consists of push-on bayonet locking, cable mount plugs and panel mount receptacles that have the capacity to handle up to 10A (Amps).
The user friendly push-on bayonet locking mechanism allows an easy one-step mating process. Visual and tactile raised mating indicators are present on the plug and receptacle to aid the mating operation in dark or concealed conditions. In addition, a tactile and audible click confirms correct mating engagement guaranteeing secure locking.
The HR41A is optimised for easy field assembly. The waterproof gasket and cable can be clamped and sealed in one simultaneous step. The crimps can be easily and reliably terminated with the crimp hand tool. The push-on bayonet lock eliminates screw tightening and torque management saving even more time.
The sequential contact structure ensures the ground contact is connected before the power and signal contacts during the mating process to ensure safety.
The light weight housing is robust and resistant to harsh environmental conditions and resistant to 15kV lightning surges. This is due to the special housing wall structure that protects the contacts and ensures a long creepage distance.
