The explosionproof connectors, type EC, are used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, in the gas and oil industry, in machinery and apparatus engineering or in the food industry. They can be used in both areas with a potentially explosive gas atmosphere in Zones 1 and 2 and areas with a potentially explosive dust atmosphere in Zones 21 and 22
The degree of protection by the enclosure, taking the ageing to EN IEC 60079-0 into consideration, is IP 65 or IP 66. The connectors are used for transmitting signals in hazardous areas. They are used in installations where it is necessary to isolate for maintenance and servicing purposes. As the connectors are coded, costly line testing and tests are not required when re-commissioning.
