The 360° shielding and the fully shielded housing in addition to the twisted crimp contacts go to ensure interference-free data transfer and excellent EMC. The ability to freely combine male and female connectors in addition to the coding on each connection side permit a high degree of flexibility. Eight different coding positions are possible.
For deployment in harsh, demanding railway applications, the use of plastic materials with HL3 as per EN 45545-2 ensures maximum fire protection.
Offering two fastening options, the gender changer addresses a wide range of applications. By way of example, it can be fastened in wall ducts using a hexagon M16 nut. Wall mounting is also possible by means of a flange and two anchor points.
