CLIPPER
Description
Retention plate principle
Presentation
CLIPPER is a plastic low cost
range of industrial connectors,
UL & CSA approved.
Complementing FCI product range
CLIPPER offers :
• a high sealing level :
- IP67 for the sealed plug (with
o’ring and mating seal)
- IP68 for the enhanced sealed
plug (with o’ring and a special
mating seal).
This version allows a permanent
waterproof level when immersed
at depths down to 30 meters.
• a retention plate system allowing
insertion/extraction of the
contacts without the need for
tooling,
• facilities to use trade backshells
with the electrical thread adaptor
(PG).
CLIPPER range is composed of :
• 4 sizes of shell in molded black
thermoplastic material
(size 1/2/3/4).
• 7 contact layouts
(4/9/14/18/26/31/40 contacts).
• #20, #16 contacts, machined or
stamped and formed, crimp,
solder or PC tail termination.
• An adaptor with electrical PG
thread for PG backshells.
• Backnut with grommet facilities.
