Star-Line EX | ATEX & IECEx Connectors
Zone 1 Hazardous Areas | Explosion Proof
Amphenol Star-Line EX connectors are cylindrical in shape with a metal finish, threaded coupling power and signal connectors for use in harsh environments and Zone 1 certified hazardous areas. The Star-Line EX Series is a hybrid form of the parent Star-Line industrial connector range.
Classified facilities such as petrochemical refineries and land or offshore drilling systems are just a few of the applications for this broad range of plugs, inline receptacles and panel mount receptacles.
The Star-Line EX is certified to the latest IECEx and ATEX EN60079 standards, as well as the current GOST standards.
Hazardous Area Certifications
The Amphenol Star-Line EX series of connectors is comprised of metallic bodied plug and receptacle shells, to form inline cable connections.
Externally the main bodies are fitted with suitably certified cable glands. Internally the main bodies each contain an insulator insert fitted with solder or pressure type contacts of either a pin or socket variety. The plug and receptacle shells together form an in-line connector. When connected they form a spigotted flamepath and are mechanically interlocked by means of a threaded nut retained by a grub screw.
Additionally, the receptacle connector is available in a bulkhead mounted version that contains an externally threaded flamepath for mounting to certified EX enclosures with suitable internal mating thread. This variety of bulkhead mount connector, must be internally potted, as described within this document.
Hard Anodic Coating – All machined aluminium parts finished with a hard, scratch-resistant coating per MIL-A-8625, Type III. Dielectric strength 1800 volts. Heat resistance of 750° F
Reversible Inserts – A full range of contact inserts for power, signal and mixed applications are available. All are interchangeable and reversible to suit specific needs.
Easily Accessible Wire Terminals – Conductors are readily terminated to contacts. Cable housings are slipped over conductors or leads after terminating. Cumbersome handling and seating of inserts with conductors attached is eliminated.
Large Wiring Space – Ample wiring space is provided in cable housings and hardware.
High Tensile Strength Aluminium – Bar Stock Components precision machined. Points of impact designed for extra strength.
Cable Options – Star-Line EX Series can be terminated onto unarmoured or armoured and sheathed cables built to IEEE-45 / UL1309, IEC, BS, DIN and JIC standards. Flexible cables like SOOW-A, W, G-GC and DLO constructions can also be used with these connectors.
EX Cable Glands – Wide variety of glands are available for Star-Line EX connectors.
Insert Variety – A broad range of inserts are offered ranging from single-contact to 143 contacts. High amperage up to 1135 amps at 1000V / AC or DC. Contacts are high quality copper with silver plating. (Gold plating available as an option) Composite inserts for power, control and instrumentation service available.
RADSOK® High Amperage Contacts – Special arrangements are available with RADSOK high amperage contacts. Standard Star-Line EX inserts are not interchangeable with new RADSOK contact insert arrangements.
