New RAST 5 Tab Header with 1.5 mm Pre-mating Protective Contact

Schalksmühle, 18.5.2014. The current RAST 5 family of connectors includes some 4,500 items alone, which we here at Lumberg identify as class 36. A specialty has now been added: whereas the RAST 5 tab header 3618 so far only came with a screw terminal, a lift clamp with protection against misplacing and the optional cable departure either opposite or on the lock side, the new 361899 now has a further option. This tab header features a pre-mating protective contact. The contact pre-mates by precisely 1.5 mm with any possible position. The advantage lies in grounding with the pre-mating contact before coming into contact with power.

According to the RAST 5 standard the new 361899 can mate with all indirect class 36 connectors. At temperatures ranging between -25 to +130° Celsius it is designed for a rated current of 10 amps (at TU 70° C) and rated voltages of 400 Volt. The screw terminal can be connected to solid conductors with cross sections of up to 4 mm2 as well as stranded conductors – even with ferrules – of up to 2.5 mm2. With a tin-plated contact tab the component is glow wire resistant and VDE- as well as UL-certified.
