Description
All 19" cassette style converters are equipped with either
H11, H15, H15S4, or H15S2 male connectors. Mating
female connectors are available as accessories. The four H-
type connector versions are specially designed for power
supply applications, capable of handling high operating
currents. The connectors have an integrated code key
system allowing many coding possibilities. Converters with
high output current normally use two contacts in parallel to
keep the voltage drop across the connector as low as
possible. In case of very high currents, the connectors are
fitted with round high current contacts.
Note: Parts ending with -G are RoHS-compliant for all 6 substances.
H11 Connectors
This connector has eleven contacts in one vertical column
marked 2 to 32. Mating and mounting conditions are
according to IEC 60603-2 and DIN 41612. The connector
contacts are hard-silver plated and correspond to quality
class 1, allowing for 500 mating cycles.
Note: H11 connectors (male version) are used in the converter
series (case size): H (H02), M (M02), and PSL (L04).

H15S4, H15S2 Connectors
These special connectors derive from the H15 connectors
having standard contacts like the standard connectors,
combined with 4 (H15S4) or 2 (H15S2) high-current contacts
(jacks) according to DIN 41626. These jacks are specially
designed to handle currents up to 40 A. They correspond to
quality class 2, allowing for 400 mating cycles. The contact
material is high-quality Phosphor Bronze.
The high-current jacks are joined separately to the
connectors. To install them, carefully follow the assembly
instructions. It is extremely important to solder cables, screw
cable terminals or heat shrink sleeves to high-current jacks
first, before inserting them into the moulding. Paralleled
converters should preferably be interconnected on current
bars or at a star point.
Using screw versions, the two outer high-current jacks may
be inserted at a 90° angle in order to prevent possible short
circuits between the cable terminals, especially in
applications with high vibration environment. Heat shrink
sleeves might be necessary for further isolation purposes or
to keep clearances and creepage distances at specified
levels.
An extraction tool allows removal of the high-current jacks for
replacement (see fig. 18).
Caution: The use of an adequate cable strain relief device (e.g.
Cable Hood etc.) is essential, in order to protect the high-current
contact jacks from damage. Do not screw, solder or manipulate
these contacts, when the connector is plugged into the male
connector! The use of highly flexible cables is strongly recom-
mended.
Note: H15S4 connectors (male version) are used in the
following converter series (case size): K, PSK with line currents
≥20 A.
Note: H15S2 connectors (male version) are used in the
following converter series (case size): P1000, K4000 with line
currents ≥20 A. H15S2 connectors are not for new designs.
Please consult the product data sheets for replacing models.

Extraction Tool for High Current Contacts
High current plugs and jacks can be disassembled from the
moulding by means of a special extraction tool (H15S2 and
H15S4 connectors). Holding the extraction tool over the
center of the connector's female contact the outer part of the
extraction tool should be fed between the moulding and the
outside of the female contact itself. This releases the spring
clip fixing the contacts, in order to pull the contacts out of their
moulding for replacement. If the operation is performed
correctly, very little force is required. Extreme care should be
taken since incorrect procedure and excessive force could
damage the tool and/or the connector.
This tool is available as an accessory for high-current solder
and high-current screw contacts. Fig. 16

Code Key System
An efficient coding system is of great importance in complex
electronic systems. Since power supplies handle high
currents and voltages, any false connection could be
dangerous and quite costly.
This integrated polarizing system allows effortless coding by
the simple insertion of coding wedges (HZZ00202-G) into
the female connector mouldings. The corresponding counter-
parts, i.e. the coding tabs of the male moulding, just have to
be broken off to match the right female part. Major
advantages are high mechanical stability and easy
handling. The H11 connectors have 10 and the H15
connectors 8 coding positions. The use of coding wedges
allows for many different coding possibilities. Coding
wedges are available as accessories to female connectors
with the following item number (fig. 17):
Note: In order to avoid damage, never manipulate high-current contacts
when plugged-in!
