EPIC H-D 1.6 Female Crimp Contact, Gold-Plated, 10A, 250V AC, 0.5 mm² Max Wire Size, For Heavy Duty Power Connectors 13163100

The EPIC 13163100 H-D 1.6 Female Crimp Contact offers a high-performance solution for terminating and maintaining power connections within heavy duty machinery and electrical panels. As part of the EPIC H-D 1.6 series, this precisely machined female contact is designed to handle currents up to 10 amperes at 250V AC, making it ideal for demanding industrial environments where reliability and safety are paramount.

Constructed from a copper alloy and finished with gold plating, the contact ensures optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance. The crimp termination technology simplifies the installation process, providing dependable retention and strength for both new assemblies and field retrofits. With a maximum wire size of 0.5 mm², it is especially suited to applications where fine, accurate wiring is required.

This contact integrates seamlessly into heavy duty power connector housings and is engineered for use with EPIC H-D and H-DD inserts. Its machined construction guarantees a durable, reliable interconnection, and easy serviceability during maintenance. The design also incorporates high-density contact loading, allowing for more circuit connections within a compact shell size, which is beneficial in tightly packed industrial control cabinets and equipment panels.

When assembled within matching plug and socket inserts and used as part of a complete connector housing, this contact can help the system achieve IP65 ingress protection, safeguarding equipment against dust and water ingress in harsh environments. The contact is compatible with widely used connection standards and offers approvals from SEV, UL, and CSA, making it a trusted choice in applications ranging from factory automation to process control and heavy machinery wiring.

Typical implementations include use in power supply connectors for production line automation, machine tool power distribution, modular equipment interconnections, and within any industrial setup requiring robust, field-servicable electrical connections. EPIC's well-known engineering quality and German manufacturing offer additional confidence in long-term operational reliability.

For situations requiring maintenance or expansion, the same contact is straightforward to insert and extract using industry-standard 8-point crimp tooling. The gold-plated surface enhances signal integrity and connector longevity, reducing the risk of oxidation and maintaining stable electrical properties over time.

The EPIC H-D 1.6 Female Crimp Contact is recommended for system builders, panel manufacturers, industrial control OEMs, and maintenance engineers tasked with installing or servicing heavy duty connector systems. Its robust construction, precise tolerances, and thorough certifications ensure operational safety and technical compliance in professional settings.
