Need Help Identifying a Connector Manufacturer

04/10/2013 3:03 PM

Hi all,

I am having trouble identifying the manufacturer of this connector. We pulled it off some equipment we junked so we have no way of tracing it back to the source. I have searched on the internet for about an hour and I just can't find it. Here is a picture of the mating face.

Note that the following logo is in the center of the mating face:

The connector is made in Germany

and appears to have a Underwriter's Lab Listing number of CA365 or CA36S. A Google on these numbers has not been helpful.

The lower front of the connector has some markings:

A search on "VDE Reg No 2745" wasn't helpful.

A side view shows that it is an environmentally sealed connector with an O-ring and screw terminals.

Does anyone know who this manufacturer is? It is a nice connector and we would like to use it.

Thank you,

Bruce

Don't recognize the trade mark looks like mini DIN power connector.

Here link to catalog

They do look somewhat similar but checking both your link and http://www.hosiden.com/ I didn't find environmentally sealed connectors that matched.

Thanks,

Bruce

For what it is worth, Hirschmann is a long established, solid manufacturer. Go for it with them.

The inverted RU symbol means that this is a UL Recognized Component. That's not quite the same as a UL Listing, but if you have the necessary procedures in place, you can use these in, say, UL508 panels.

I believe it's a CA3GS http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/24041.pdf
