Connection systems
Weidmüller offers RockStar® connectors with five
different connection systems:
Tension clamp, screw, crimp, axial screw and PUSH IN
wire connections
Tension clamp connection
The Weidmüller tension clamp
system functions similarly to the triedand-tested clamping yoke. Here again,
the mechanical and electrical functions
are kept separate. The tension spring,
made from high-quality rustproof and
acid-proof steel, pulls the conductor
against the tin-plated copper current bar. Treating the copper in
this way ensures low contact resistance and high corrosion
resistance. The compensating effect of the tension spring
ensures a secure contact for the lifetime of the terminal. The
tension-clamp wire connections are resistant to vibrations and
have a high wire pull-out force.
Screw connection
Screw connection systems are easy to
handle and are known worldwide; this
is an important point to consider for
mounting and maintenance tasks
which are spread throughout the
world. Screw connections which are based on a clamping-type
body offer a gas-tight, vibration-proof connection for connected
wires. They also feature excellent contact force. This system is
therefore perfectly suited for use in corrosive environments. The
passivated silver surfaces ensure even more resistance against
corrosion. The Weidmüller clamping-style body is perfectly
suited for connecting solid-core and flexible stranded conductors.
A wire-protection frame ensures that finely-stranded wires will
not splice off.
The advantage of the axial screw
connection is the small space taken
up by the contact. The axial screw
connection is also extremely easy to
use. To make up the connection, the tool and conductor are
held in a line. Just three steps are needed for a secure
connection: strip the conductor, insert the wire into the contact
chamber, screw in the contact – that’s all!
PUSH IN connection technology
With the PUSH IN connection
system, the stripped solid-core
conductor is simply inserted into the
terminal point until it butts against the
end stop. And then it is ready. No tool
is required and the result is a reliable,
vibration-resistant and gas-tight connection. Even flexible
conductors with crimped wire end ferrules or ultrasonic-welded
conductors can be connected without any problems. A stainless
steel compression spring, which is fitted in a separate housing,
guarantees a high contact force between the conductor and the
current bar (tin-plated copper). The pull-out force for this system
is even higher than that for the tension clamp system. Spring
and conductor stops in a steel housing ensure optimum
connection conditions and a guide for the screwdriver needed
to detach the conductor.
In the crimping method, the wires are
fed into a metal sleeve, which is then
squeezed together with a special tool.
This means the connection is now corrosion and vibration proof.
The contacts can be crimped on the conductor outside of the
connector and then inserted into the connector.

Crimp contacts
Crimp contacts
Selection of silver or gold-plated contacts
Whereas the contacts for screw, axial screw, tension clamp and
PUSH IN connections are already built in, you can choose the
appropriate contact for a crimp connection.
When using plug-in connectors under standard conditions, the
resistance between the contacts has little effect. Even heavily
corroded silver-coated contact pins and sockets do not exhibit
any contact problems.
The situation is different where there are very small currents
in extreme applications such as those in electroplating shops,
tunnels or in cellulose processing. The silver oxide layer on
the surface of the contacts forms an electrical resistance with
capacitive, inductive and ohmic components. As a result, the
original signal is distorted so much that the recipient is unable
to detect it properly and interprets it incorrectly. This results in
faults and, indirectly, to damage to machines and processes.
Gold-plated contacts should be used in such cases.
The rule of thumb is: use gold-coated contacts for currents
< 5 mA and voltages of up to 5 V.
The heart of a connector is its contacts. They make up the
actual connection between two conductors. Two types of
contacts make this possible: pins and sockets (male and
female). The pin conducts the electrical current on its outer
surface and is introduced into the socket, which conducts the
electrical current on its inner surface. Heavy-duty connectors
have copper alloy contacts and the contact surfaces are plated
with gold or silver: silver improves conductivity, gold is corrosionproof.
Crimp contacts are available in turned, solid form.

Depending on the diameter of the insulation, the max. AWG wire may need to be pushed in with some force.
The 2.5mm2 wire must be inserted with some force.
When the rated voltage is reduced to 400 V / 6 kV / 3 or with a protection degree of at least IP54.
4)
Only by tilting the screwdriver can the clamping point be opened all the way.
5)
Wire-end ferrules may be used when the rated voltage is reduced to 400 V / 6 kV / 3.

2)
3)
When the protection degree is at least IP54, the creepage and clearance distances within the encapsulation may
be rated for a lower pollution degree. (DIN EN 61984) For this encapsulation, the use of wire-end ferrules is possible with 500 V / 6 kV / 3.
7)
The PZ4 crimping tool should not be used with the max. wire size.
6)
The connector inserts can be combined with wire-end ferrules in other ways depending on the available clamping range and the type of cable being used. We would be happy to take a look at the technical
feasibility of your specific application.

RockStar® Housing types
Housing IP66 / NEMA Type 4X
HQ Series Housings, IP66 / NEMA Type 4X
The housing and the interlock mechanism on a connector protect
the contacts from exterior mechanical influences (ie. shock,
contamination, dust, accidental touching, moisture penetration,
water and liquids such as cleaning solvents, coolants and oils).
The durable RockStar® housings are produced with the highest
quality standards; they provide IP66 protection and are resistant to
corrosion and impacts. All housings come standard with a
stainless steel interlock. A special die-cast alloy and the multi-level
surface finish combine to deliver the ultimate protection against
extreme conditions and ensure that the housings keep their visual
appeal.
The HQ connector series has a very compact housing with IP66
protection. It is available in either plastic or metal. The full industrial capability of these products makes them a perfect match for
the main usage in materials handling applications. The HQ housing series is particularly important for connecting motor starters
and frequency converters. It is also the ideal extension for setting up a decentralised power distribution system based on

Design of clearances and creepage distances in
electrical equipment
General
Creepage distances
Since April 2003, the rules of DIN EN 60664-1 / 11.03 in
conjunction with DIN 61984 / 09.02 apply to the dimensioning of
clearances and creepage ­distances.
Creepage distances are rated in
accordance with the following factors:
• Planned
rated voltage
• Insulation materials used
insulation group
•Measures to prevent pollution
pollution severity
The design data resulting from these provisions is – if applicable –
specified in this catalogue for each product.
For the design of clearances and creepage distances, application
of the regulations for insulation coordination produces the
following interrelationships:
Clearances
Clearances are rated in accordance with the following factors:
•Anticipated surge
rated impulse withstand voltage
•Used
surge protection precaution
•Measures to prevent pollution
pollution severity
Slots are taken into account when measuring creepage
distances if their minimum width X is dimensioned according
to the following table:
Pollution severity

If the associated clearance in air is less than 3 mm, the
minimum slot width can be reduced to 1/3 of the
clearance.

Technical data
Influencing factors:
Rated impulse withstand voltage
The rated impulse withstand voltage is
derived from:
•Phase-to-earth voltage (the nominal
voltage of the network, taking all
networks into account)
• Surge category
The surge categories are defined
in accordance with international standard
DIN EN 60664-1 (for electrical equipment
fed directly from the low voltage network).
Surge category I
•Equipment that is intended to be
connected to the permanent electrical
installation of a building. Measures to
limit transient surges to the specific
level are taken outside the equipment,
either in the permanent installation or
between the permanent installation and
the equipment.
Surge category II
•equipment to be connected to the
permanent electrical installation of a
building e.g. household appliances,
portable tools and similar loads.
Surge category III
•equipment that is part of the permanent
electrical installation and other
equipment where a higher degree of
availability is expected e.g. distribution
boards, circuit-breakers, wiring systems
(IEV 826-06-01, including cables,
busbars, junction boxes, switches,
power sockets) in the permanent
installation, and equipment for industrial
use and some other equipment, e.g.
stationary motors with permanent
connections to the permanent
installation.
Surge category IV
•Equiment for use at or in the proximity
of the incoming supply point of the
electrical installations of buildings
upstream of the main distribution board
e.g. electricity meters, circuit-breakers
and ripple control units.
Pollution severity categories:

•No pollution, or only dry, nonconductive pollution that has no
influence.
Pollution severity category 2
•Non-conductive pollution only;
occasional condensation may cause
temporary conductivity.
Pollution severity category 3
•Conductive pollution, or dry, nonconductive pollution that is liable to be

solution A
1) Phase-to-earth insulation levels for unearthed or impedance-earthed
systems are equal to those of phase-to-phase because the operating
voltage to earth of any phase can, in practice, reach full phase-tophase voltage. This is because the actual voltage to earth is determined by the insulation resistance and capacitive reactance of each
phase to earth; thus, a low (but acceptable) insulation resistance of
one phase can earth it and raise the other two to full phase-to-phase
voltage to earth.
2) For electrical equipment for use in both 3-phase 4-wire and 3-phase
3-wire supplies, earthed and unearthed, use the values for 3-wire
systems only.
*) It is assumed that the rated voltage of the electrical equipment is not
lower than the nominal voltage of the power supply.
**)Because of the common changes, the meaning of the ** symbol has
not been used in table 1; i.e. the / symbol indicates a 4-wire 3-phase
distribution system. The lower value is the phase-to-neutral voltage,
while the higher value is the phase-to-phase voltage. Where only one
value is indicated, it refers to 3-wire 3-phase systems and specifies
the value phase-to-phase. The values given in table 1 are still taken
into account in tables 3a and 3b by the ** symbol.

Overview HDC
Technical data
The derating curve shows which
currents may flow continuously and
simultaneously via all possible
connections when the component is
subjected to various ambient
temperatures below its upper limit
temperature.
The upper limit temperature of a
component is the rated value determined
by the materials used. The total of the
ambient temperature plus the
temperature rise caused by the current
load (power loss at contact resistance)
may not exceed the upper limit
temperature of the component, otherwise
it will be damaged or even completely
ruined. The current-carrying capacity is
hence not a constant value, but rather
decreases as the component ambient
temperature increases. Furthermore, the
current-carrying capacity is influenced by
the geometry of the component, the
number of poles and the conductor(s)
connected to it.
The current-carrying capacity is
determined empirically according to DIN
IEC 60512-3. To do this, the resulting
component temperatures tb1, tb2 … and
the ambient temperatures tu1, tu2
are measured for three different currents
I1, I2, I3 ….
The values are entered on a graph with a
system of linear coordinates to illustrate
the relationships between the currents,
the ambient temperatures and the
temperature rise in the component.

The loading currents are plotted on the
y-axis, the component ambient
temperatures on the x-axis. A line
drawn perpendicular to the x-axis at the
upper limit temperature tg of the
component completes the system of
coordinates. The associated average
values of the temperature rise in the
component, ∆t1 = tb1-tu1, ∆t2 = tb2-tu2,...
are plotted for every current I1, I2, … to
the left of the perpendicular line. The
points generated in this way are joined to
form a roughly parabolic curve.
the maximum permissible contact
resistances and the measuring
uncertainties in the temperature
measurements are taken into account in
such a way that they are suitable for
practical applications, as experience has
shown. If the derating curve exceeds the
currents in the low ambient temperature
zone, which is given by the currentcarrying capacity of the conductor crosssections to be connected, then the
derating curve should be limited to the
smaller current in this zone.
As it is practically impossible to choose
components with the maximum
permissible contact resistances for the
measurements, the base curve must be
reduced. Reducing the currents to 80%
results in the “derating curve” in which

EMC
Many interfaces require the use of a connector that is
EMC-compliant.
What is meant by the phrase EMC-compliant?
Electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC) refers to the ability of
electrical equipment to function satisfactorily in its
electromagnetic environment without introducing intolerable
electromagnetic disturbances to anything in that environment.
(DIN VDE 0870). An electrical component or electrical
equipment is considered to be compatible when their emissions
and sensitivity levels are within a tolerable range (i.e., when there
is sufficient interference immunity).
Testing methods
The method applied does not use the normative tri-axial
measuring platform, but instead uses an aluminium plate (with
dimensions 500 x 380 x 10 mm). This plate serves as the test’s
reference earth. HF sockets (N-standard) are mounted on two
standing angular panels and are used to connect the measuring
device. The flange along with the plug are mounted to one of
the angular panels.
The limit value of the shield attenuation Sa is
f < 1 MHz: 60 dB
1 MHz < f < 100 MHz: 60 – 30 dB with15 dB per decreasing
decade f = 100 MHz: 30 dB
The basics
There are several types of measurements that can be used to
determine the effectiveness of a cable shield. The method used
here is the KS 04 B measurement from VG 95 373-41
“Electromagnetic compatibility of devices – methods for
measuring shielded cable and shielded protective cable hoses”.
This method enables the quality of the shield to be evaluated. It
also assesses the influence of the contact points of the shielding
braid as well as the male and female plug components.
A standardised test cable with a length of one metre is used.
This, and the fact that this measurement is carried out in a
50-ohm system which does not take the actual line impedance
into account, leads to characteristic resonance effects. This
means that this measurement process only delivers meaningful
results up to a frequency of 30 to 100 MHz. It is, however, well
suited for evaluating and comparing the effectiveness of various
shielding and shield-contacting methods. It does not deliver an
absolute value that would enable the limiting of voltages coupled
in a cable, using an imposed HF electromagnetic field. The user
should always consider the measurement results relative to the
laboratory operational situation. Your actual, real-world shield
attenuation values will normally be less than the values achieved
in the lab because of different cable lengths, impedance
behaviour and non-optimal earthing.

According to VG 95373-41, a frequency range up to 30 MHz is
specified for the measurement process. However the range can
be extended to about 100 MHz for information purposes.
The insertion loss as of the test object is determined by the
relationship between the voltage on the interior wire and the
supplied voltage. The VG95373-41 also refers to the insertion
loss as the shield attenuation factor. The relationship between
insertion loss as and coupling resistance Zk is characterised as
follows:
Insertion loss: as ≈ 20 lg 50 Ω / | Zk | in dB
Coupling resistance: Zk ≈ 50 Ω x 10 as / 20 in Ω
According to VG 95373-41, this relationship has sufficient
precision when Zk < 500 mΩ.

In order to test plug-in connectors, a reference shield cable is
used that is separated in the middle. The cable can be
connected with a corresponding connector pair and measured
as described above. In order to evaluate the shield (the
resistance between the cable shield and the reference earth),
the connector frame and its reference earth are mounted directly
to the cover of the testing equipment.

Weidmüller has designed the RockStar® IP68 housing with builtin features that ensure outstanding EMC and resistance to
interference.
The bulkhead or base housing, combined with the plug housing,
produces a labyrinth structure which ensures high EMC shield
attenuation. In addition to providing the required EMC
protection, this housing series features IP68/IP69K protection
and excellent resistance to impacts and vibration. This
combination of features permits the RockStar® IP68 housing to
be used anywhere.

The requirements for an EMC-compliant interface stipulate that
the interference immunity level or shield attenuation potential
should be rated high enough so that the electromagnetic fields
in the vicinity of the transmitted signals cannot exert influence
within the connector. The capacity for active interference must
be low enough to ensure that surrounding devices or
components are not affected by interference. The following

impedance for the adjacent housing.
