Gewiss IEC309 Hi-Performance
November 2013
Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors
AC/DC Dynamics has launched the new Gewiss range of IEC309 High Performance plugs and sockets into the South African market. This high-end range of industrial connections delivers outstanding performance, functionality and technical features. The range boasts a fully comprehensive assortment of products to create any kind of industrial system and is geared to make installation simpler and more efficient.
The new range expands Gewiss’s assortment of 16 and 32 A mobile plugs, mobile and flush-mounting socket-outlets with IP44 and IP66/67/68/69 degrees of protection, both in the quick and screw wiring versions.
The range is quick and simple to wire and has been restyled as a single functional line, for both quick and screw wiring versions.
Besides the new High Performance, the range includes 63 and 125 A plugs and sockets, with a polarity, voltage and nominal frequencies suitable for all systems up to 500 V, offering IP44 protection and IP67 watertight versions, multipliers and adaptors, very low voltage versions, plus 90°, straight flush-mounting and 10° surface-mounting versions.
Main features of the IEC 309 High Performance range are the following:
* Safe lock closure: the ¼ turn screw guarantees practical, simple use, quick assembly and safe closing due to the readily identifiable reference system. The reinforced technopolymer of the system ensures maximum resistance to abrasion and a long lifespan, eliminating the problem of corrosion, even in more aggressive environments. The body/grip coupling is solid and effective for outstanding performance.
* A new functional coupling system: with their innovative shape, these new products can be coupled to fencing and scaffolding during use in trailing systems.
* Raised earth terminal: the new IEC309 range has an earth terminal that is raised. If a connection cable is accidentally pulled out, the earth cable will be the last to be released, preventing the user from getting an electric shock and avoiding electrical discharge on devices.
* A new cable clamping system: the new external cable clamp secures the cable and maintains the IP rating in absolute safety. It can easily be closed by hand, without using any tools. The anti-loosening device prevents the accidental unscrewing or loosening of screws, even when the application has considerable vibration or mechanical stress. The cable gland can accommodate a range of cables above regulatory requirements, both at the bottom and top.
* Nickel plated pins and contacts: all IEC309 HP range products feature nickel plated pins and contacts for a more efficient contact on elements subject to a higher degree of oxidisation: the nickel-plating guarantees maximum product life and allows for use in environments with critical climatic conditions (marine environments) or aggressive substances.
