QC connectors ideal for railway applications
An Aerco product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jul 8, 2009
The Deutsch Quick Connect (QC) range of circular connectors from Aerco is a rugged quick-latch interconnect solution designed for use in demanding environments.
The company said this, combined with the quick-connect facility, makes the connectors ideal for trackside maintenance and other applications in the rail industry.
The QC range is made from ultem, a high-temperature, corrosion-resistant composite material, and uses a quick-latch mechanism that provides an audible mating click and allows smooth disengagement by simply depressing the coupling mechanism on the receptacle.
This feature also ensures that the connectors cannot be unmated by pulling or accidentally stressing the cable.
Available in two-, seven-, and 12-way configurations with the two-way version capable of handling 13A per contact, the QC range is designed to provide users with the flexibility of choosing between a simple wire seal, compression gland or over-moulding to provide environmental sealing up to IP68.
Designed to meet the BS EN60320-2-2 specification, the three-way version enables the QC to be used in applications where 13A, 240V mains connection is required.
The connectors have a temperature rating of 150C; a high resistance to shock and vibration; are resistant to many chemicals found in harsh environments; and can be washed, sterilised and autoclaved without any detriment to performance.
