Lapp EPIC H-A 10 Male Connector Insert, 10-Pin + PE, 16A, 250V

The Lapp EPIC H-A 10 male connector insert is a high-performance industrial component engineered for reliable electrical connectivity in demanding environments. Designed with 10 pins plus a protective earth (PE) contact, this insert provides a secure and stable interface for power and signal transmission. It is specifically built to fit within the compact H-A series industrial housings, making it an essential part of modern electrical infrastructure where space efficiency and durability are paramount.

Advantages

This connector insert stands out due to its robust construction and integrated wire protection, which prevents damage to conductors during installation. The screw termination method ensures a strong, vibration-resistant connection that maintains integrity over long periods of operation. With a wide operating temperature range and high voltage rating, it offers versatility for various industrial applications, ensuring consistent performance even in challenging conditions.

Suitable for

• Control cabinet manufacturing
• Industrial machinery and equipment
• Automation and robotics systems
• Power distribution in compact housings

This connector may not be suitable for applications requiring high-density signal transmission beyond 10 pins or for environments exposed to extreme chemical corrosion that exceeds the specifications of the standard H-A series housing materials. It is also not intended for use in high-voltage power grids exceeding the rated 250V AC (VDE) or 600V (UL/CSA) limits.

Key specifications

• Number of pins: 10 + PE
• Rated current: 16A (IEC)
• Rated voltage: 250V (VDE)
• Termination type: Screw connection
• Wire cross-section range: 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm²
• Operating temperature: -40 °C to +100 °C
• Integrated wire protection: Yes
• Protective earth contact: Leading (early-make)

How to use

To install the Lapp EPIC H-A 10 male insert, first strip the insulation from your wires according to the required length. Insert the conductors into the screw terminals and tighten the screws securely to ensure a firm grip, utilizing the integrated wire protection feature. Once the wires are connected, slide the insert into the corresponding H-A series housing until it clicks into place. Ensure the protective earth contact is properly aligned to guarantee safety before locking the housing mechanism.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing housing is compatible with the H-A 10 series standard.
• Ensure the wire cross-section of your cables falls within the 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm² range.
• Check that the environmental temperature does not exceed the -40 °C to +100 °C limit.
• Confirm that the electrical load does not exceed the 16A current rating.

Usage recommendations: Always ensure that the power supply is disconnected before performing any installation or maintenance on the connector. Regularly inspect the screw connections for tightness if the equipment is subject to constant vibration.
