The new Harax M8-S connector can be used on cables with outer diameters from 2.5 to 5mm.
Despite the compact size of the Han 10 B housing, it has been possible to house four power contacts plus a separate PE (protective earth) contact by making maximum use of the available space and by using space-saving axial screw terminations.
These power contacts and the PE contact can be used for wire gauges of up to 22mm, allowing current carrying capacities of up to 63A to be achieved.
The four signal contacts are each rated at up to 16A and are housed in the cage clamp termination.
No special tooling is required for assembly, making the Han K 4/4 a field attachable connector that can be used everywhere.
Both the female and male inserts are finger-safe.
