Combined with the SKINTOP® Brush cable gland, the connector meets EMC requirements, as the nickel-plated zinc housing forms a metal enclosure that acts as a Faraday cage. This is important for the transmission of particularly sensitive BUS signals.
Furthermore, this new model combines numerous advantages: the SKINTOP® cable gland is already mounted in the housing, ensuring optimal sealing and tensile strength, and also enabling faster assembly, as the SKINTOP® does not need to be mounted separately. The seal between the base and the bottom of the housing is already integrated to provide enhanced protection against mechanical damage. The seal between the base and the electrical cabinet wall is also integrated. This prevents potential assembly errors and greatly simplifies installation.
Another special feature is that, once connected, the housing provides a fully secure 360° metal connection, and can also be connected to standard housing units if needed.
The new EPIC® ULTRA model is slightly smaller than the previous cast aluminum model and offers a better fit thanks to its thinner nickel walls. This allows for more space during the design phase, as the trend in the plant engineering and mechanical sectors is toward smaller or more space-efficient products. The clamping levers are made of high-strength stainless steel.
