L Series Modular Connectors

5.508.2511.00A11.00 Therefore a “step” is defined as the length used by each assembled element.- An elementary step is defined as 5.50 mm- The letter “A” is the sum of the dimensions of the contact elements. Hypertac
® modular connectors employ a do-it-yourselfsystem based on the building block principle. They offer a wide variety of combinations available in a single connector frame. Thus, the user is capable of selecting the connector that fulfills the exact require- ments with off-the-shelf components. One of the many advantages of the Hypertac
® contactused is its low extraction and insertion forces. In this application it enables the user to assemble large numbers of contacts into a connector which is industrial still able to mate and unmate smoothly and easilyThe modular connectors series can be built up for thefollowing:?Rack and panel applications-Standard -With floating mounting?Cable applications-Hooded with rounded or flat cable clamps -With jack screws?Program applicationsThe system is composed of two basic elements:the modules and the frames.1.The modules are the connector elements of thesystem. Various types of contacts are available, such as signal, power, coaxial, high voltage, etc. These contacts are mounted in small plastic blocks. Crimp contacts are also available in plastic blocks that can be mounted individually or together into the frame. The width of each module block is designated in steps. The modules have fixed contacts with:2contacts@ 50 amps(type M) 2contacts@ 25 amps(type C) 2 contactsshielded(type E) 2contactshigh voltage(type H) 1contact@ 200 amps(type I) 2 contactsfiber optic(type Y) 3contacts@ 15 amps(type B) 4contacts@ 15 amps(type N) 5contacts@ 8 amps(type A) 9 contacts@ 5 amps(type Q) 9 contacts@ 8 amps(type G)17contacts@ 5 amps(type D)Coaxial contacts:2contacts(type J) 2contacts(type K) 3contacts(type L)Removable contacts:2contacts@ 25 or 50 amps(type Z) 3contacts@ 15 amps(type W) 5contacts@ 8 amps(type T) 5contacts@ 8 amps(type X)17contacts@ 8 amps(type O) 30contacts@ 3 amps(type LW)2.They range from a basic frame consisting of 2 siderails and 2 end caps to more complex versions with jack screws, hoods, cable clamps, etc. All frames are available in numerous lengths to conform to almost any combination of modules. With the modular Series, specially designed connec- tors can be purchased quickly and inexpensively, eliminating the extra cost and delay of custom tooling.
