Feature → Business Impact → Application: 18 A amperage rating and #16 AWG contact size support common control and small motor loads, enabling reliable power delivery without oversizing harnesses. This directly reduces wire waste and simplifies stock management in control panels used across machinery lines. In practice, technicians experience faster crimp terminations and consistent conductivity in rugged environments, improving uptime for packaging, material handling, and process automation applications. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 12-shell housing with 7 contact positions offers versatile configuration for compact multi-pin connections, enabling compact harness routing in confined control cabinets. This supports retrofits and standardization across equipment lines, with fewer custom parts and quicker procurement for maintenance teams. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Crimp termination provides secure, vibration-resistant connections that withstand industrial vibration and temperature cycling, lowering intermittent faults and field service calls. This is particularly valuable in conveyor systems, pressing lines, and machine tools where reliability is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Male pin contacts in a rugged CZ insert kit facilitate quick mating with compatible female CZ housings, reducing assembly time and ensuring correct polarity during installation. This minimizes miswiring risks in complex power/control networks and supports safer, faster commissioning. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 2.42 in length and 2 in height/width keep the assembly compact for tight panel spaces, enabling easier routing and less enclosure intrusion. This is ideal for retrofits and modernizing existing lines where space is at a premium. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area suitability simplifies procurement and installation planning for standard factory floors, warehouse automation, and non-hazardous plant environments, reducing the need for hazardous-location certified components in everyday applications. This aligns with budget-conscious capital projects while preserving robustness. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Availability of specification sheets, brochures, and Canadian/UL certifications supports due diligence, regulatory compliance, and fast technical onboarding for procurement and engineering teams. This enables quicker vendor qualification and more accurate RFP responses in capital expenditure cycles.

FAQs

The CZP-12-348-PN is designed to mate with Roughneck CZ multi-pin housings. It uses a 12-shell insert with 7 contact positions and #16 AWG crimp pins, providing a standard form factor that aligns with CZ series mating components for reliable field assembly and consistent electrical performance.
Use the proper crimp tool and follow the recommended crimping procedure to ensure a secure contact. Verify insulation grip, ensure proper conductor strip length, and inspect for uniform crimp profiles to prevent hotspots or loose connections, which can cause intermittent faults in power and control circuits.
Yes. The insert kit is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and is supported by UL Canadian certifications, making it suitable for standard factory floors, offices, and non-hazardous industrial areas where Roughneck CZ connectors are used.
Documentation includes brochures on Roughneck multi-pin and single-pole connectors, a catalog page, Canadian/UL certification references, installation instruction sheets, and Eaton specification sheets. This enables quick design validation, procurement alignment, and safe installation guidance.
Standardization on the CZP-12-348-PN reduces spare-parts variety, accelerates replacement in the field, and minimizes risk of miswiring through consistent pin layouts. The compact form factor, reliable crimping, and available technical literature support faster onboarding, reduced downtime, and improved overall equipment reliability.
