STAR-LINE
®
Series
INDUSTRIAL
Star-Line Series “ZP/ZR” connectors are heavy duty environmentally sealed plugs and receptacles and have been
successfully used in all types of Industrial and Aerospace applications. These compact environmental connectors
have provided outstanding performance in complex ground support cable networks, automatic and process control
systems and instrumentation systems.
This family of connectors has made a major contribution to the successful interconnection of peak power generating
systems as well as offshore petroleum production for power distribution and data acquisition.
Ample margins of safety and reliability have been designed into the Star-Line connectors to maintain capability levels
which make them ideally suited for the broad spectrum of demands placed on them by industry.
The specific materials and design features incorporated in Star-Line connectors were originally selected to satisfy the
stringent requirements of the Aerospace industry for heavy-duty connectors. These connectors combine electrical and
mechanical capabilities that equal or exceed the performance parameters established by the Military Specification
MIL-5015.
• UL & CSA listed to UL1977/CSA C22.2 requirements
• ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE – Design and materials withstand the most challenging operating conditions.
Series has an IP 68-8 rating.
• SOLDER, CRIMP AND PRESSURE TERMINALS AVAILABLE
• EASILY ACCESSIBLE WIRE TERMINALS – Conductors are readily terminated to contacts. Cable housings are
slipped over conductors or leads after terminating. Cumbersome handling and seating of inserts with conductors
attached is eliminated.
• LARGE WIRING SPACE – Ample wiring space is provided in cable housings and conduit fitting bodies. Hub of
body mounts in any of four positions (except FS & FD box assemblies).
• REVERSIBLE INSERTS – A full range of contact inserts and application adapters are available. All are
