CLIFF™ Electronic Components USA

Our CliffCon® 8-pole connectors are intended for any application where a reliable, locking, touch-proof connector system is required and are ideal for lighting, chargers and instrumentation.

 

Rated 30 A maximum at 250 V AC. These have a tough, durable construction with an easy locking mechanism, integral cable clamp and touch-proof contacts to BS EN IEC 60065, and BS EN IEC 61010.

 

General features are similar to our 4-pole version. The 8-pole line connector is only available in a 90° black version. A dust cover is available for the chassis socket. Connections to the socket may be made by soldering or FASTON® receptacle and to the plug by soldering or screw.

 

Features

• Safety leading ground pin which makes first and breaks last to prevent damage from arcing if disconnected under load.
• FASTON® quick disconnect on panel mounting socket.
• Choice of flat head screw / washer or solder tag connections in cable plug.
• Integral cable clamp for 6 to 15 mm diameter cable.
• Panel mounting connector is airtight.
• Plug and socket mated meets IP55 minimum.
