FAQs
Begin by confirming shell size and contact type match your CZ connector family. Use crimp terminals for #16 AWG conductors and mate with the corresponding male pins. Follow Eaton installation guides (IF 1688) for crimp tooling and torque guidelines, then test continuity and insulation resistance after assembly to ensure a reliable, vibration-resistant connection.
The insert kit is rated for 18 A and uses #16 AWG contact terminology with crimp termination, delivering stable current handling and robust contact retention. This combination supports typical industrial loads and minimizes overheating risks in motors, drives, and control circuits.
Yes. It is applicable to ordinary/non-hazardous locations and leverages UL Canada CZ Series certifications for data, signal, control, and power applications. This regulatory alignment helps with audits and ensures safer operation within non-hazardous environments.
Contacts are crimped into the CZ insert and are not typically replaced individually in the field. For reliability and traceability, Eaton recommends using replacement parts through approved kits or ordering a new CZ insert kit when wear is detected, ensuring consistent performance and warranty coverage.
Benefits include reduced downtime from plug-and-play installation, fewer mis-wirings due to standardized, clearly defined interfaces, and lower spare-parts inventory since kits use standardized contact and shell configurations. Over time, these gains translate to faster deployments, easier maintenance, and lower total cost of ownership in manufacturing and processing plants.
