HA 10 pins heavy duty male female connectors

Ordering the right heavy duty connectors ensures reliability in industrial automation, energy, and machinery. Follow this 7-step process to specify your requirements accurately and streamline procurement.

1. Determine Electrical Ratings

Start by defining your voltage and current needs:

Voltage: 250V to 1,000V.

Current: 10A to 200A continuous load capacity.

2. Select Insert Configuration

Choose pins, plating, and termination:

Pin Count: 3 to 216 contacts (signal/power hybrid options available).

Plating:

Gold: For corrosion resistance (medical, marine).

Silver: Cost-effective for high-current industrial use.

Termination types of heavy duty connectors:

Screw Terminal: Tool-free installation.

Crimp Terminal: Vibration-proof (IEC 61373 compliant).

Cage Clamp: Quick-wire for 0.14–2.5mm² cables.

3. Housing & Hood Configuration

Match hoods and housings to inserts and environmental needs:

Hoods:

Low/High construction for space constraints.

Top/Side cable entry (IP68 glands included).

1 or 2 locking levers (vibration resistance).

Housings:

Bulkhead/Surface mounting or cable-to-cable.

Optional protection covers for unused ports.

IP Rating: IP65 (dust/water jets) or IP68 (submersion).

Thread Compatibility: M12–M40, PG7–PG21, or NPT.

Example: Han E 006 inserts require 6B hoods/housings.

4. Accessories

Enhance functionality with:

Cable Glands: Metal (EMI shielding) or plastic (lightweight).

Hose Kits: For pneumatic-hybrid connectors.

5. Customization (OEM/ODM)

Tailor connectors to your needs:

Logo Engraving: Brand housings or hoods.

Material Upgrades: Stainless steel bolts for corrosive environments.

Color Coding: Match machine safety standards (e.g., yellow for warnings).

6. Order Quantity

Prototypes: 1–5 units for testing (2-week lead time).
