Amphenol Industrial 97 E Pre-Earth FMLB Connectors are circular, multi-pin connectors designed for applications where a protective circuit from the ground contact to the shell is critical. These connectors feature a first mate, last break capability where the grounding pin engages prior to the engagement of the remaining pins, making any mating cycle electrically safe. The Pre-Earth FMLB connectors offer different shell sizes (including 3102A box mount and 3106A straight plug) in contact size options from 4 to 16, with silver and gold plating available. The connectors operate in a -55°C to +125°C temperature range and can withstand up to 100 mating cycles. The connectors also feature either soldering or optional crimp terminations and black zinc alloy plating (standard). Their current rating is 5A to 80A with voltage ratings of 110VAC, 150VAC, 200VAC, 250VAC, 400VAC, and 500VAC.
Additional attributes of the Amphenol Industrial 97 E Pre-Earth FMLB Connectors include a receptacle with IP67 protection when the receptacle is unmated and/or plug-in mated, providing superior moisture sealing and waterproofing. The connectors also conform with European safety standards of DIN VDE 0627, SAE AS50151 dimensions and performance, as well as being intermateable with MS 5015 and 97 series styles. This connector also meets the IEC/EN 61984 standard.
The Pre-Earth FMLB connectors are designed to meet the safety requirements for applications where a protective circuit from the ground to the shell is needed. The connectors are ideal for use in factory automation, process and control testing, medical equipment, measurement equipment, industrial equipment, and semiconductor applications equipment, as well as in servo motors, robots, and machine tools.
