This makes them suitable for use in field cable joining applications where losing parts can create difficulties. The compact one-piece construction ensures ease of installation with colour-coded screws/terminals making wiring up easy, while the inclusion of Braille points ensures correct identification of connections in low light conditions.
The CPWP3 range includes three models – a waterproof field assembly T connector, a waterproof field assembly in-line connector and a 3-pole waterproof panel mount connector. Specifications include voltage and current ratings of 250V/16A, contact resistance of 10mΩ, insulation resistance of 500MΩ at 500VDC and temperature rating from -40 to 105°C. Contact/terminal material is nickel-plated brass and size OD (Outside Diameter) range for the T and in-line connectors is 5.5-8.5mm. For the panel mount connector, minimum wire size OD is 6, 10mm maximum.
Complementing the CPWP3 range is the CPWPES family of waterproof assembly splitters offering 3, 5 and 9 outputs from a 3-pole single input. These provide a compact, convenient, waterproof and robust method for connecting a feed cable to several outputs. The 3- and 5-way splitters offer a voltage rating of 400V at 20 and 17A respectively while the 9-way splitter is rated at 250V/10A.
Compliant with EN61984 and CE approved, the waterproof assembly connectors from CamdenBoss are useful for all field installation applications.
