This is not widely known by customers, which is why, in many commercial power supply unit (PSU) applications, MIL-C-5015 and VG95234 connectors are being used at higher voltages than those approved by regulatory bodies.
According to DIN EN 61984, a grounding conductor must be terminated on all metal parts that could carry the load in the event of an electrical fault. Furthermore, the grounding conductor in the connector must be terminated in a "first-to-mate, last-to-break" connection that is conductively coupled to the housing. This requirement is met by ITT's CGL family of input power connectors.
In compliance with European low-voltage and EMC directives, the robustly designed CGL connectors are fully shielded, sealed to IP67 protection rating, and offer Class 3 contamination protection. Fully interconnectable with other products based on MIL-C-5015, VG95234, and CA-B standards, CGL connectors can be configured with 3 to 24 contacts in 16 contact configurations. Contact terminations from 1.5 to
50 mm², metric threaded ferrules, and other options are available.
