GENERAL DESCRIPTION
......................................................................................................................................................

This latest generation of industrial plugs, connector and socket oulets extends and completes the comprensive range of SCAME' s plugs and sockets. Completely new and internationally patented technical and constructional features have been added to the EUREKA Series.

These features, illustrated in the following pages, are of course joined to higt quality functional characteristics, reliability, safety and a long life in even the most exacting operating conditions.

Anoutstanding advantage of the EUREKA Series plugs and sockets - and one which distinguished it from all other plugs and sockets manufactured up to this time - is the extraordinary ease and speed with which the contacts can be cabled and inspected.

Using EUREKA Series plugs and sockets is therefore,higly recommended wherever the electrical contractor considers quick and easy cabling and frequent inspection of the contacts to be very important factors in the installation work.

VERSIONS
................................................................................................................

Available versions for rated operating voltages over 50V are:

The angled plugs and sockets reduce protrusion.

STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS
......................................................................................................................................................

• Standard contact and housing sizes.
• RAL 7035 gray grip.
• Cable sleeve for IP 44 types suitable for differnt cable sizes (no need to cut or adjust the cable sleeves).
• Cable gland for IP67 types
• Plug with lug and socket with guide for perfect coupling..
• Sockets with spring-locking cover and retaining catch when the plug is inserted (types IP44 and iP67)
• Sockets with two-ramp system and plugs with bayonet ring for bayonet coupling (type IP67)
• Fast coupling and decoupling of grip and insert (by means of patented SNAP-ON device).
• All terminal and cable clamp screw facing the same way.
• Swivelling cable clamp fitted with catch.
• Ergonomic grip for easier holding and use.
• Only factory-preset earthing contact position depending on final use.
• High degree of protection against indirect contacts because the earthing contact is the first to be established and the last to be broken.
• Colour-coded for fast identification of the rated voltage.
• Perfectly interchangeable with plugs and sockets of the IEC309 Series and of other manufacturers.

LID
A wing on the lid assist one-handed opening. Solash-proof protection (IP44) is assured by the two inclined surfaces on the lid and on the insert. These surfaces also assist self-centring of the lid.	The ergonomic shape of the grip has designed to ensure a perfect grip to prevent the hand from slipping when carryng out insertion or extraction.

CABLE INLET
	The cable is inserted into the cable sleeve on IP44 versions and into the cable gland on IP67 versions. There is no need to adjust the cable sleeve to the cable size.
The collar serves as a reinforcement for the part most exposed to impact.

TERMINALS
	A well-placed eye in the contacts' retainer guides the screwdriver into the slot in the screw head.
All terminal and cable clamp screws face in the same direction to avoid to turn the insert while wiring. A screwdriver for either single-slotted or cross-slotted screw heads can be used for tightening the screws. All the screws are left loose and captive for faster cabling

CABLE CLAMP
	The campl is located inside the housing to protect it from demage. The cable is clamped by tightening one single screw using a screwdriver for either single-slotted or cross-slotted screw. To assist wiring operations, the cable clamp is equipped with "catch&quotto keep it open and to leave room for the hands when installing.
