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

The Lapp EPIC H-A 16 male connector insert is a robust industrial component engineered for secure and reliable electrical connectivity. Designed for demanding environments, this insert features 16 poles plus a protective earth (PE) contact, ensuring stable performance in various automation and control systems. Its compact design makes it an excellent choice for space-constrained applications where high-quality signal or power transmission is essential.

Advantages

This connector insert stands out due to its integrated wire protection, which prevents damage to conductors during installation and ensures a long-lasting, vibration-resistant connection. The screw termination method allows for easy and reliable assembly with wire cross-sections ranging from 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm². With a wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to +100 °C, it remains functional in harsh industrial conditions, while the leading PE contact provides an essential safety feature for electrical grounding.

Suitable for

• Control cabinet manufacturing
• Industrial machinery and equipment
• Automation systems
• Electrical distribution panels

When it may not be suitable

This connector insert is intended for use within compatible EPIC H-A 16 housings and may not be compatible with other connector series. It is not designed for underwater applications or environments requiring high-pressure washdown protection unless installed in a housing with an appropriate IP rating.

How to use

To install the connector, strip the insulation from your wires according to the required length and insert them into the screw terminals. Tighten the screws securely to ensure a firm mechanical and electrical connection, utilizing the integrated wire protection to prevent strand damage. Once the wires are secured, insert the male connector into the corresponding female insert within the housing until it clicks into place, ensuring the PE contact is properly aligned.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing housing is compatible with the EPIC H-A 16 series.
• Ensure the wire cross-section of your cables falls within the 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm² range.
• Check that the environmental conditions do not exceed the specified temperature range of -40 °C to +100 °C.

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 high levels of vibration.
