Main Technical Features
Model: AP / AD (variations for parallel or branching applications)
Wire range: from 0.25 mm² to 4.00 mm² in AP models with 2, 3, or 5 poles, and up to 6.00 mm² in higher-current AP models.
Rated current: ranges from 24 A (smaller AD models) up to 41 A in larger models.
Rated voltage: typically 450 V or 600 V, depending on the model.
Materials: conductive parts in tinned copper; housing made of transparent polycarbonate; POM (polyacetal) levers; and AISI 301 stainless-steel springs.
Operating temperature: from -40°C to +105°C, ensuring excellent performance in demanding or thermally variable environments.
Applications and Uses
The Lever-Type Connector is perfect for quick, safe, and tool-free electrical connections. Examples include:
– Electric shower installations.
– Splices and branches in distribution panels or household wiring.
– Temporary or frequently serviced connections — the lever allows easy opening and closing when needed.
– Automation and control systems, lighting fixtures, and electrical panels.
The transparent body allows for visual inspection, making it easy to verify correct wire insertion and secure contact. The lever mechanism also simplifies work in tight spaces or situations requiring fast handling.
Main Advantages
- Quick connection: a simple lever movement secures or releases the wire — no tools required.
- High electrical reliability, with quality conductors and springs that ensure conductivity and corrosion resistance.
- Model versatility, with multiple pole and current/voltage options to fit project requirements.
- Thermal safety, with a wide operating temperature range that prevents failures in extreme conditions.
Tips for Best Use
- Confirm the wire gauge is within the range supported by the chosen model.
- Strip the wire correctly, with the proper length, avoiding exposed strands.
- Insert the wire fully into the connector before closing the lever.
- Perform a visual inspection (helped by the transparent housing) and, if possible, a mechanical check to ensure a secure fit.
