HIROSE Electric Co. Ltd, a world-class manufacturer in connectors, introduced the HR41 series of high current circular connectors, to meet the increased demand for high powered connectors offering advanced reliability in outdoor harsh environments.
The connector range consists of bayonet locking, cable mount plugs and panel mount receptacles that have the capacity to handle up to 24A (Amps).
The HR41 is optimized for easy field assembly with a standard market commodity crimp tool. A visual and tactile raised mating indicator is present on the plug and receptacle to aid the mating operation in dark conditions. The cable can be clamped and the waterproof gasket sealed in one simultaneous step without additional tooling. The anti-loosening mechanism ensures that the tightening ring securing the cable will not come loose during operation.
The innovative connector design incorporates a sequential contact structure. The contacts are arranged in sequence to ensure the ground contact is connected before the power contacts during the mating process to ensure safety. In addition, housing walls protect the contacts and ensure a long creepage distance.
The lightweight housing is robust and resistant against harsh environmental conditions, such as sunshine (2000 hr tested), salt spray (1500 hr tested) and water intrusion (IP68 rated). In addition, HR41 is resistant against 15kV lightning surges due to the special housing wall structure.
A contact removal tool is available to quickly remove the contact from the housing.
