The VEAM Snaplock connector series is a miniature power cable hook up system offering high current capability while maintaining minimal physical dimensions. Snaplock offers a commercially viable option to historical hard wiring techniques. In addition, Snaplock offers improved safety characteristics through utilization of insulated bodies, sealing mechanisms, locking mechanisms and protected current carrying elements. The speed of connection and disconnection offers great savings in equipment down time, servicing and maintenance procedures. The security of the connection is maintained by a simple but very effective locking mechanism which can be utilized as a temporary or permanent lock. The contact elements are based on our proven multi-lam band technology which ensures low contact resistance thus minimizing power loss, low physical insertion forces with a self wiping action, and high number of mating cycles. The male contact elements are protected by a non-conductive tip which makes physical contact with the current carrying element impossible. The contacts are held in the insulators via a clip retention system. This allows for fast, simple assembly and good retention of the contact sets, especially where vibration is an environmental concern. Contact termination to the cable conductor is by standard compression crimp or threaded M12 post (panel connectors). Connectors for panel mounting and cable mounting are available. All connectors are IP67 sealed when mated through utilization of integral sealing rings and cable strain relief.
