FAQ's of EC3 series:
Q: How should the EC3 terminal block be properly mounted and connected?
A: The EC3 connector supports both panel and PCB mounting. Use the screw-type terminals and captive screw clamps to secure wires within the 0.5mm2 to 2.5mm2 range, tightening them to a torque of 0.5Nm to 0.6Nm for optimal contact and reliability.
Q: What features ensure the safety and reliability of the EC3 series in harsh environments?
A: The EC3 series includes a flame-retardant polycarbonate housing (UL94 V-0), high dielectric strength (2500V AC/min), and vibration-resistant construction, making it suitable for industrial use with enhanced safety against overheating and electrical faults.
Q: When is the EC3 connector typically recommended for industrial applications?
A: The EC3 is ideal when applications demand high contact reliability, secure locking, and a compact design, such as in electrical assemblies, power supplies, and automation systems, especially where frequent disconnection or high endurance is required.
Q: Where can I use the EC3 series terminal block connectors?
A: These connectors are widely utilized in India across sectors such as power distribution, industrial automation, energy management, and control panels, due to their robust flame resistance and vibration-resistant properties.
Q: What benefits does the tin-over-copper contact plating provide?
A: Tin plating over copper contacts enhances conductivity, resists corrosion, and ensures a high current rating with minimized contact resistance for reliable performance over extended use and multiple mating cycles.
Q: How does the EC3 address energy efficiency and protection needs?
A: With energy consumption kept low, efficiency exceeding 98%, and high power factor, the EC3 also offers excellent overheating protection and a thermal-resistant housing, providing a comprehensive solution for power distribution and control.
