groundmate

PE Connection in Electrical Control Cabinets

With the new groundmate® series, Amphenol is able to replace the now used PE connections, made up of ring terminals in electrical cabinets, with pluggable contacts. By using the well-known and field proven RADSOK® technology in combination with the clickfit® locking device, a high current carrying capacity arises together with a safe and reliable locking mechanism. Owing to different locking parameters, it is possible to connect groundmate® contacts with pins or threads. Even by using groundmate® on threads, the outstanding attributes of RADSOK® contacts will be mostly uninfluenced.

Advantages 

• no tooling
• quick and easy assembly by plugging
• standard bolt or thread (for grounding)
• hidden assembly possible
• easy maintenance
• axial assembly (e.g. in line) possible

 

   

Remark: The given electrical values correspond to a single contact. With the addition of a housing, an increased number of poles or other

modifications the values must be adjusted downwards accordingly
