Phoenix Contact 1424457 HC-STA-A10PT-BWS-LS-M20-ELCAL Wire Connector, Cast Aluminium

The Phoenix Contact 1424457 HC-STA-A10PT-BWS-LS-M20-ELCAL is a professional-grade wire connector set designed for secure and reliable electrical connectivity in industrial environments. Engineered with a robust die-cast aluminium housing, this connector provides exceptional durability and protection against harsh conditions, including resistance to salt water. It utilizes a modern push-in connection method, facilitating efficient installation while maintaining high contact integrity for up to 10 positions.

Advantages

This connector set stands out due to its high-quality construction and superior environmental protection. The die-cast aluminium material ensures long-term mechanical stability, while the IP67 rating guarantees that the connection remains sealed against dust and water ingress. The push-in connection technology significantly reduces wiring time compared to traditional screw terminals, and the salt water resistance makes it an ideal choice for maritime or coastal industrial applications where corrosion is a primary concern.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation systems
• Maritime and offshore electrical installations
• Outdoor equipment requiring IP67 protection
• Control cabinets and machinery wiring
• Applications requiring high vibration resistance

When it may not be suitable

This connector may not be suitable for applications requiring a higher number of contact positions than the 10 provided. Additionally, it is not intended for use in environments where the cable cross-section exceeds the specified AWG 26-14 range.

Key specifications

• Number of positions: 10
• Connection method: Push-in connection
• Housing material: Die-cast aluminium
• Protection rating: IP67
• Thread size: M20
• Connection cross-section: AWG 26-14
• Weight: 320.1 g

How to use

To use the connector, prepare your wires by stripping them to the required length according to the technical documentation. Insert the conductors directly into the push-in terminals until they are securely locked in place. Ensure the M20 cable gland is properly tightened to maintain the IP67 seal. The housing should be mounted securely to the target surface using the provided mounting points to ensure the integrity of the connection under operational stress.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 10-position configuration meets your circuit requirements.
• Ensure the M20 thread size is compatible with your existing cable glands or conduit systems.
• Check that your wire gauge falls within the AWG 26-14 range.
• Confirm the environmental conditions do not exceed the IP67 protection limits.

Usage recommendations: Always ensure that the cable is properly secured to prevent strain on the terminals. Regularly inspect the housing for any signs of physical damage or corrosion if used in extreme environments to maintain the integrity of the IP67 seal.
