HARTING UIC 558 Series Connectors

HARTING UIC 558 Series Connectors include two interfaces, with inserts that can accommodate 13 or 18 pins and an additional solution with 22 pins and a PE for inter-car jumpers. The UIC 558 connectors guarantee longevity in functionality, are robust against abrasive materials, and are corrosion resistant. These UIC 558 connectors come with an automatic disconnection triggered at 500N. HARTING UIC 558 connectors operate within a temperature rating range from -50°C to +125°C. Typical applications include railways and automobiles.

String-cup phones are lots of fun when chatting out of your bedroom window with your next-door childhood friend. But when it comes to transferring signals for communication network buses and side-sensitive door controls aboard train cars, you’ll want the reliability and longevity offered in the HARTING UIC 558 Series connectors. The UIC 558 connector series includes 2 interfaces with gold, silver, and nickel plating options in 13, 18, and 22 pin configurations according to UIC 558 railway connector standards. Rated for 10,000 mating cycles, a breakaway function automatically breaks the connection at 500N of force for a non-destructive disconnect, and pin keying with visual coloring prevents improper termination. Corrosion resistance with a temperature rating from -50°C to +125°C and an IEC railway shock and vibration rating provides a robust connector solution offering IP69K mated and IP67 unmated ratings.
