Important notice
Lumberg products can be used according to the characteristics specified in the data sheet.
Beyond that, all applicable regulations, standards and directives for the use of these
products and for the intended application must be obeyed by the user. It is the user’s
responsibility to ensure the appropriateness of a chosen Lumberg product for the intended application.
Connector systems with crimp connection and high protection degrees require suitable
cables and accurate processing. In order to assure safe function of the connectors they
must be processed with Lumberg harnessing equipment according to Lumberg harnessing
instructions, using cables approved by Lumberg. On the Internet (www.lumberg.com) a
choice of „Approved cables“ is available for every type of connector.
Due to continuous development of Lumberg products, serving technical progress, the
descriptions and data provided hereafter are for information only and subject to change
without notice.
We will be pleased to discuss detailed requirements.
