Amphenol Industrial Eaxtron UL1977 DIN Connectors
Amphenol Industrial Eaxtron UL1977 DIN Connectors feature a Vortex Clip that significantly improves all aspects of the connection interface. The Vortex Clip guarantees a safer and easier connection; it also allows for a higher rate of conductivity. The unique spiraling shape allows for more contact points, providing a higher rate of conductivity and it also facilitates coupling with 80% less effort than the industry standard. These connectors operate at 160A, 320A, or 430A current rating and a lifespan of >12,000 cycles. The Eaxtron UL1977 DIN connectors exhibit patented locking mechanisms that work in conjunction with the user to provide an arcless experience. Additionally, the unique design of the female contacts and durable housing nullifies all ‘inevitable’ arcs.
Amphenol Industrial Operations / Eaxtron contacts are made from pure copper (Cu11 000) and plated with an industry-leading 6µm of silver. The plating ensures minimal wear and tear on the contact. Typical applications include material handling, ground support equipment, maintenance, repair, and operations.

While not as exciting a tornado on steroids, the Eaxtron UL1977 DIN Connectors provide engineers with a truly reliable connection thanks to their use of Vortex Clips. These contacts integrate a vortex spiral that not only provides a significantly easier connection method, but also drastically improves safety as well as increases the overall number of contact points, hence, increasing the overall current capabilities.
Compared to industry standard DIN connectors, the Eaxtron UL1977 DIN Connectors provide up to 80% less effort, great for those who want to do minimal effort while their boss isn't looking, and yet, offer operating currents up to 430 amps with a life span of well over 12,000 mating cycles (far more than what I get that’s for sure). In addition to a locking handle, the female receptacle integrates a unique design that resists inadvertent arcing, helping to reduce wear and tear on the connector.
