According to DIN EN 61984, a grounding conductor has to be terminated to all metal parts which may carry the load in the case of electrical defects. More, the grounding conductor in the connector has to be terminated to a ‘first-to-mate, last-to-break’ contact which is conductively linked with the shell. This is performed by ITT’s CGL power input connector family.
Conforming to European low voltage and EMC guidelines, the robustly-designed CGL connectors are fully shielded, sealed to IP67 and offer Pollution degree 3 protection. Fully intermateable with other products based on relevant standards MIL-C-5015 and VG95234 and CA-B, CGL connectors can be configured with a contact count from 3 to 24 in 16 contact arrangements. Contact termination ranges from 1.5 to 50mm2. PG, metric gland and universal backshell options are available.
