An updated and optimised version of a mini plug connector system makes operating errors and damage impossible, even when the system is used in dirty or corrosive environments.
R Stahl Schaltgeraete has launched an updated and optimised version of its mini CLIX plug connector system. The improvements make operating errors and damage impossible, even when the system is used in dirty or corrosive environments. As well as plastics and nickel-plated brass, mini CLIX is now available in the high quality AISI 316L stainless steel demanded by users in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Another new innovation is a version suitable for installation in Ex d housings with volumes exceeding two litres.

This is can be used in Zone 1 for explosion group IIC.

Mini CLIX is designed to let users install, service or exchange all devices and systems during Zone 1 operation without disconnection and without procuring a special permit.

Even Ex d field devices can be converted to plug and play versions.

As the new mini CLIX Ex d device plug and flange socket installation variants are now also available with an NPT thread as well as metric M20 thread, they are suitable for all applications at an international level.

Further additions to the mini CLIX plug connector system are due at the end of 2005.

These include a Y-adapter for looping through the data or power supply lines for use in fieldbus installations, a 6-pin version and a 6+PE-pin version.
