Ex connectors for intrinsically safe circuits
21 April 2015
RS Components (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents, has extended its range of interconnection solutions serving industries such as mining, chemicals, process automation, and oil and gas, with the addition of Harting Han Ex connectors for use in potentially explosive environments.
Han Ex connectors meet the intrinsic safety requirements of CENELEC equipment codes ia, ib and ic, allowing use in explosion zones 0, 1 and 2, zones 1 and 2, or zone 2 respectively. The connectors comply with DIN EN 60 079-0 and DIN EN 60 079-11 standards, and are T6 temperature classified for use where ignition hazard exists at temperatures as low as 85°C.
Harting’s patented vibration-proof Han-Quick Lock termination technology allows fast and easy assembly without special tools. Alternatively, crimp terminations are available, which can be used with wire gauges down to AWG 26.
