New environmentally sealed compression lug is field installable

Available from TTI Europe, the new Amphenol SurLok Plus environmentally sealed compression lug series is a field-installable, highly-reliable alternative to common compression lugs and is IP-67 rated. Incorporating the latest R4 RADSOCK Technology, the compression lugs have a quick lock and press-to-release design and are compact, quick-mating and robust. Further benefits of lugs are their “Keyway” design which prevents incorrect mating and 360 degree rotating plugs. Additionally, they feature high amperage contact technology which utilises the high tensile strength properties of a stamped and formed, high-conductivity alloy grid to produce low insertion forces while maintaining a large conductive surface area. Available in contact sizes 5.7mm (120A – 180A), 8.0mm (200A – 300A) and 10.3mm (300A – 400A), plugs are either right angle or straight and receptacles with or without keyway. SurLok Plus uses industry-standard crimp, screw and busbar termination options, so there is no need to purchase special torque tools. Operating voltage is 1,000VAC/DC and operating temperature range is -40C to +125C. The series is touch proof, and flammability rated to UL 94-V0. Markets and applications for the series include EV/HEVs, BMS/energy storage, medical, rail mass transit, process control/automation and heavy equipment.
