Lapp EPIC H-A 4 Male Insert 10431000, 4-Pole + PE, 23A, 400V

The Lapp EPIC H-A 4 male insert is a high-performance industrial connector component engineered for reliable electrical connectivity in space-constrained environments. Designed as part of the reputable EPIC H-A series, this 4-pole plus protective earth (PE) insert provides a secure and stable connection for demanding industrial machinery and control systems. Its compact design allows for efficient integration into standard housings, ensuring that power transmission remains consistent even in challenging operational conditions.

Advantages

This male insert stands out due to its robust construction and versatility in industrial settings. The screw termination method ensures a strong mechanical and electrical bond, while the inclusion of a leading protective earth contact enhances safety during operation. The component is built to withstand a wide temperature range, making it suitable for diverse environments. Its compact form factor is specifically optimized for applications where installation space is limited, without compromising on current-carrying capacity or electrical integrity.

Suitable for

• Industrial machinery and automation systems
• Control cabinets and electrical distribution panels
• Applications with limited installation space
• Equipment requiring reliable power transmission

This component may not be suitable for high-vibration environments where screw terminals might loosen over time without proper maintenance. It is also not intended for use in applications exceeding its rated voltage of 400V or current of 23A, nor is it suitable for outdoor environments without an appropriate protective housing that meets specific IP rating requirements.

Key specifications

• Configuration: 4-pole + PE
• Rated current: 23A (IEC)
• Rated voltage: 400V (VDE)
• Termination type: Screw connection
• Conductor cross-section: 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm²
• Operating temperature: -40 °C to +100 °C
• Rated impulse voltage: 4 kV

How to use

To install the insert, strip the insulation from your conductors according to the required length and insert them into the screw terminals. Tighten the screws securely to ensure a firm connection. Once the wires are connected, slide the insert into the corresponding EPIC H-A series housing until it clicks into place. Ensure that the protective earth contact is properly aligned and connected to the system ground before energizing the circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing housing is compatible with the EPIC H-A 4 series.
• Ensure the conductor cross-section of your cables falls within the 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm² range.
• Check that the electrical load of your application does not exceed the 23A and 400V limits.
• Confirm the environmental conditions do not exceed the specified temperature range of -40 °C to +100 °C.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the screw connections for tightness during scheduled maintenance intervals to ensure long-term operational safety and performance. Always use appropriate tools for wire stripping and screw tightening to avoid damaging the terminals.
