carrying capacity than standard contacts of the same size. Manufactured using high-quality materials, the REP Series conforms to the fire and smoke requirements of NFF 16-101, NFF 16-102, EN 45545-2 and UL94V0 standards. Shock resistant levels are to EN 61-373. The high protection levels are provided by the use of over- moulded silicone grommet and interfacial seals. REP connectors are rated to 18A and are
supplied as crimp terminated contacts for cable
harness applications, and straight or bent terminated contacts for PCB mount. They are available in two, six and 12-way formats and provide up to 500 mating cycles. Three coding devices are available: cable-to-cable, clip locking, and front and back panel mount, while pre-wired versions can also be supplied to specifications. No special tools are required for assembly and connection is fast, simple and secure with push to mate, and press and release to un-mate. Also, because a single sized contact caters for
cables from 0.50mm² to 2.5mm² (24-12AWG), the series offers a significant cost of ownership savings in terms of reduction in inventory holding and maintenance costs.
