FAQs
The AH316C4W uses a back-wire wiring method, designed for fast, tool-light terminations with #12–#10 AWG conductors. This reduces field installation time, minimizes assembly errors, and improves consistency across panel builds. The connector’s back-wire design is particularly advantageous in crowded control cabinets where space is at a premium and technicians benefit from straightforward, reliable terminations.
Yes. The AH316C4W is IP69K rated for high-pressure washdowns and IP67 resistant for submersion exposure, making it ideal for食品 processing, beverage lines, and wastewater treatment. These ratings, combined with a nylon housing and nickel-plated brass contacts, provide robust sealing, chemical resistance, and long service life in demanding environments.
The connector is rated for 16 A at 110–130 V and supports #12–#10 AWG conductors. It is a two-pole design with grounding and back-wire wiring, suitable for industrial control circuits and equipment that require reliable, grounded connections in challenging environments.
The AH316C4W carries UL Listed cRUus certification, indicating compliance with recognized safety standards in North America. Combined with IP69K/IP67 environmental ratings, these certifications address both electrical safety and protection against washdown hazards, ensuring regulatory compliance and reducing risk in food & beverage, water treatment, and other industrial applications.
Plan for a panel-mount setup with mating pin-and-sleeve components to maximize lifecycle performance. Leverage the back-wire capability for quick field terminations and ensure matched nylon housings and corrosion-resistant contacts to minimize maintenance. The connector’s rugged construction and high IP rating translate to fewer replacements and longer uptime, delivering lower total cost of ownership in demanding plant environments.
