We are now introducing a complete line of cable mounts as well. The complete HPC Series offers both panel mount and cord mount connectors. The HPC panel mounts have been updated with new silver-plated contact materials that boost the contact ratings to 30A per UL 1977 on PC mount versions, 50A per UL 1977 on Faston versions. They are still available with either 0.100" depth flanges or 0.200" depth flanges. The 0.200" depth flange allows for rear mounting of the HPC Series, and proper mating of all cord plugs. The panel mount versions are available with either 0.187" or 0.250" Faston terminals, and either straight or right angle PC mount terminals. The right angle PC mount version also has, as an option, a mounting post which allows the connector to snap onto the PC board for wave soldering. The HPC cord plugs are available in either straight, right angle, or as an in-line. The in-line version mates with either the straight or right angle cord plug, allowing the end user to extend cable runs. All cord plugs are compatible with Speakon ® panel mounts. The in-line mates with our HPC cord plugs, as well as Speakon® cord plugs. The unique feature of the HPC series cord plugs are the “push to lock” feature, similar to the connection of an XLR connector. The HPC cord plugs, when mated to either HPC panel mounts or Speakon® panel mounts do not require a 1/4" turn to engage. Simply push the connector in until it locks. To disengage, push forward on the latch lever and pull the connector out. This feature eliminates the need to remember to turn the connector to make contact. All HPC cord plugs utilize 0.250" Faston terminals, which allow for easy assembly, and make it easy to change cord plugs. To change from a straight cord plug to an in-line cord plug, back off the strain relief nut, twist off the handle, disconnect the Faston terminals, fasten the new cord connector, twist on the handle and the strain relief. Barbs on the handle keep the handle from vibrating loose from the front shell. Both HPC panel mounts and cord plugs incorporate a built-in gasket, which allows them to meet IP 25 harsh environment ratings, as well as IEC 529 and IEC 1010-1 safety ratings.
