Communiqués de presse

CONTA-CLIP is tipped for success. In the last two years, the manufacturer of electrical and electronic connection technology has increased its sales by more than 50 %. In 2022 alone, the company enlarged its workforce at its German headquarters by 36 %. This process is accompanied by the largest investments in the company’s history. CONTA-CLIP is continuously developing new, inventive solutions for cable management and control cabinet wiring with many advantages for users. The innovation potential is reflected in a large number of filed patents. Only recently, CONTA-CLIP announced the worldwide launch of new, particularly easy-to-install transformer terminals with push-in connection for fast, tool-free wiring. An important new business unit is wireless networking, visualization and remote control of industrial processes. Joerg Nowastowski-Stock, Managing Director Marketing/Sales at CONTA-CLIP, says: “CONTA-CLIP is increasingly developing from a supplier of components to a design and production partner for OEMs, whom we support with EMS and E˛MS (Electronic [Engineering and] Manufacturing Services). We are anticipating double-digit percentage growth again this year.” The family-run company caters to a global market and is at the same time strongly rooted in its region. Bianca Klass, Managing Partner, says: “The ‘Made in Germany’ label continues to earn us great recognition among our customers worldwide. We are pleased that we are also perceived as an attractive employer with a good working atmosphere, short decision-making processes also due to flat hierarchies and good career opportunities for committed employees.” After the addition of a new plant at its headquarters in 2020, CONTA-CLIP is already nearing full capacity again. As new production areas are being planned, automated production methods and the overarching concern for sustainability will continue to play an important role in the company’s future development.

The new, easy-to-use 360° crimp tools from Conta-Clip provide precise and safe crimping of wire-end ferrules according to DIN 46228 up to 16 mm˛ conductor cross-section. The PZD 16/R and PZU 16/R crimping pliers are supplied with a square or trapezoidal crimp insert, respectively. The inserts can be exchanged quickly without tools, and above all, they can be adjusted by 360° in 45° increments. This allows users to adapt them to their preferred posture and work comfortably even in hard-to-reach places. One tool is sufficient for ferrules with and without insulating collars, up to 18 mm in length, with cross-sections from 0.08 mm˛ to 16.0 mm˛ and also for twin sleeves from 2 x 0.25 mm˛ to 2 x 10.0 mm˛. The crimp is automatically adapted to the conductor cross-section. The crimp tools are durable, ergonomic and designed for fatigue-free work: they are compact, lightweight, handy and self-opening via an internal spring. They have soft handles with molded slip protection. Crimping requires minimal effort. An unlockable forced lock ensures work safety. The crimp tools are made of high-strength special steel, with a special coating for the most stressed parts.

The connection technology expert CONTA-CLIP has introduced a new series of particularly easy-to-install terminal blocks with innovative push-in wire connection for fast, tool-free wiring of transformers. The PTKS 4 transformer terminals for 4-mm˛ cable cross-sections are suitable both for direct mounting on the coil body and for snapping onto 10 mm x 2 mm aluminum mounting rails. Wires are pushed into the terminals' connection channels from above for easy contacting with no further wiring effort. The high contact force of the spring ensures secure, durable fixation and contacting that withstands even severe vibrations and mechanical shocks. Wires are disconnected in seconds by pressing the built-in, insulated pusher. Featuring a two-part construction consisting of the base terminal with freely accessible solder hooks and a cover, the PTKS 4 terminals can also be easily soldered onto the coil wires using automatic soldering methods. CONTA-CLIP offers terminal covers in various colors, e. g., for marking different voltages. The new terminal series enables test tapping at any potential. The program includes the PQI 4/x/PTKS series of pluggable, isolated cross connectors with 2, 3 and 5 poles for potential distribution. In future, the manufacturer will complete the new product segment by adding PTKS 4/SI 5x20 and PTKS 4/SI 6.3x32 transformer fuse terminals for contacting the corresponding fine fuses in 5 mm x 20 mm or 6.3 mm x 32 mm formats. CONTA-CLIP's SB 7,5 standard marking system is available for marking the terminals.

CONTA-CLIP’s HSKG stud terminals ensure secure connections for all energy-transmitting applications. The lineup comprises five terminal sizes for wire cross sections from 35 mm² to 300 mm². HSKG terminals can be installed as required on standard TS 35 DIN rails in accordance with EN 60715. They are suited for rated currents from 125 A to 520 A at rated voltages up to 1000 V. The terminals feature M6, M8, M10, M12, or M16 threaded studs, depending on the wire cross section. Conductors are applied to the studs with crimped cable lugs and then securely connected to the busbar with hex nuts. Each stud can hold two cable lugs. Combination one-piece washer and hex locknuts provide superior safety via conical spring force, contact strength, vibration resistance and maintenance-free connections ultimately eliminating retightening. A low voltage drop and self-extinguishing material with a V0 (UL94) flammability rating ensure maximum safety. Cross-connection rails for potential distribution are available as two or three-pole versions. Additionally, CONTA-CLIP provides accessories that facilitate installation and further safety features, for example ADH hinged covers with touch protection even while inserting a test probe and variable colors for identification. The ADH cover is easy to mount – it simply snaps into the side walls of the stud terminal as it is closed. ES 35/K/ST end stops grip both sides of the DIN rail with steel clamps, ensuring steady support for the terminal block construction. For optimal equipment identification, the stud terminals can be labeled with the CONTA-CLIP Pocket-Maxicard PMC marking system.
