Connection systems

Gewiss has extended its IEC 309 High Performance plug and connector range which is designed to meet even the most demanding industrial connection requirement; installation has been made faster and easier. 

The range offers an IP protection rating that exceeds the electrical industry’s standards, tested to IP69. 

An IP68 rating allows immersion in water up to 20m and IP69 prevents any water infiltration even against pressure wash jets and high temperatures. This level of performance is key within certain industry segments, including the automotive sector. 

New 63-125A versions join the existing 16A and 32A mobile plugs, mobile and flush-mounting socket-outlets. The range offers IP44 and IP66/67/68/69 degree of protection, for both the fast wiring (screwless) and screw wiring versions.  

The new 63-125A versions contain mantle terminals that clamp the cable between two plates.  This type of terminal is said to offer excellent quality and reliability as it provides a larger contact surface, resulting in a secure connection even against vibration. This terminal can house any type of cable, and maintains the life-span of that cable. 

In addition, the higher amp connectors have been designed using over-moulding, a manufacturing process where one individual part is moulded over another to create a single part. This enhances the ergonomic benefits of the product – improving comfort for the installer.

Gewiss’ connectors offer all earth hours, to extend the possible applications; with specific versions for harsh and complex installations. The plugs and connectors are quick and simple to assemble and wire.

The 63-125A plugs and sockets offer a variety of polarities, voltages and nominal frequencies suitable for all systems to 500V. Available with multipliers and adapters, very low voltage versions, plus 90°, straight flush-mounting and 10° surface-mounting versions in IP44 and IP67 watertight versions.
