New Industrial connector family with push-locking for easy installation

Amphenol LTW’s X-Lok product series portfolio for signal, power and hybrid applications is now available from TTI Europe. The series offers a push lock mechanism, allowing blind mating for fast, simple and convenient installation, repair and maintenance in the field. The series satisfies the high standards demanded for industrial connectors as devices are manufactured using UL94V-0 and UL-f1-rated material to protect against UV exposure, as well as being IP68 rated to protect against jets of water and dust ingress. Further ease-of-installation features comprise an easy-grip design to stop the connector being accidentally dropped and confirmation of correct mating position with audible feedback. Seals of different sizes can be quickly identified as they are colour coded. The series is provided with a wide variety of receptacles and can support a broad range of wire and cables. Technical specifications include a voltage rating of 300V AC/DC (power) and current rating of 20A. Contacts are a silver-plated copper alloy. Temperature range is -40C to +105C. Ideal applications for the series include industrial and factory automation, LED lighting, renewable energy, marine electronics, IP CCTV and security and rapid mass transport systems.
