Wire connectors HelaCon – for professional cable connections

Wire connectors HelaCon – for professional cable connections

wire connectors HelaCon Family

The range of HelaCon push-in wire connectors is used for fast, easy and reliable connection and distribution of cable and conductors in electrical housing applications. They may be used within a typical range of housing voltage up to 450 volts. A huge variety of input poles allows high flexibility in application depending on the number of wire conductors and available space.

Cross-sections of up to 2,5 mm² can conveniently be processed and allow the use of thicker conductors when a voltage drop occurs.
The way of cable distribution and branch connections varies from country to country due to the different types of wires, diameters, colours, junction boxes and mounting systems in use.

No matter how distinct the individual requirements are – the HelaCon wire connector series offers the best solution for every task – worldwide.
Different colour codes help to easily differentiate the sizes of the push-in wire connectors. All cable entries are in a row on one side. A separate voltage test entry on the front guarantees safety during application, installation and maintenance. Any conductor with cross-sections between 0.5 and 2.5 mm² can be used at the same time, without impact on the adjacent connection.

Being compact in size the push-in wire connectors HelaCon fit perfectly in tight spaces and can generally be used in all kinds of junction boxes either on-wall or flush-mounted.

Being compact in size they fit perfectly in tight spaces and can generally be used in all kinds of junction boxes either on-wall or flush-mounted.

The HelaCon Easy connectors are exclusively designed for use with solid wire up to a diameter range of 2.5 mm². Bent, stranded or fine-stranded wire conductors may not be used.

How to use

Wire connectors HelaCon Easy hands on

• Make sure that power is turned off before installation
• Use solid copper conductors only
• Strip them off approximately 11 mm
• Insert them completely into the wire connector
• Use voltage tester via separate test entry
• To change or correct a wire, hold and twist it alternatively left and right while pulling the wire connector

Wire connectors HelaCon Plus Mini Family

HelaCon Plus Mini is a sophisticated push-in wire connector for professional cable connections in electrical housing applications. The newly developed double spring allows easy processing and will support installers especially in difficult situations like overhead work. This ensures proper fixing that can optically be checked through the transparent housing.

Different colour codes provide a comfortable identification of the different wire connectors. A separate voltage test entry on the front guarantees safety during application, installation and maintenance.

Application

The HelaCon push-in wire connectors are used for fast, easy and reliable connection and distribution of cable and conductors in the field of electrical installation.

The wire connectors can be used in all kinds of junction boxes either on-wall or flush-mounted.
HelaCon Plus Mini offers the best possible solution when convenient processing and maximum safety is required.

How to use

Wire connectors HelaCon Plus Mini Application

• Do not work under load
• Use only solid and stranded copper conductors
• Strip length 11 mm
• Push-in the full stripped length into the wire connector – check the connection through the transparent housing
• Use easy access voltage test entry at the rear side
• Disconnecting the wire: Hold the wire and twist the wire connector to the left and to the right

Wire connectors HelaCon Lux

Wire connectors HelaCon Lux application

A typical application is lighting installation, where the solid conductor from concealed cabling has to be connected to a flexible conductor for lighting. The 2/1 variant allows the looping through of the supply lines for additional devices.

The conductor on the output/lighting side can easily be inserted by pressing the locking mechanism and can be released in the same way at any time. The lighting side can carry any kind of conductor and makes HelaCon Lux wire connectors also useful to connect devices that carry flexible connecting cables like control devices e.g. for blinds, fans and other drives.

Features and Benefits

• Best suitable to connect solid with flexible wire
• Combines push-in connector with lock/unlock spring mechanism
• For fine-stranded conductors at lighting input
• Use with typical voltage current of 450 V / 24 A
• Either one or two inputs for solid conductor on installation side
• Very flexible application
• Tool-free application for easy, time-saving, safe connection
• Especially for overhead work and when wires are difficult to access

Advantages of wire connectors HelaCon Plus Mini

Wire connectors: Working with clear visibility

Screwless connectors in the field of house installations are used countless times every day. Although this is routine installation work, it requires a lot of diligence.

A tight and secure fitting is indispensable for a failure-free, long-life operation. Careless work may otherwise result in damage and overheating, in the worst case causing a hazardous situation like a fire.

The transparent housing of the new HelaCon Plus Mini wire connector series allows a fast and easy optical control of whether the conductor fits to the catch. This is a non-negligible safety factor and will expedite acceptance tests of the complete electrical installation.

Wire connectors: Different wire types and cross-sections

Wire connectors HelaCon

The low push-in forces due to the latest double spring technology enables the use of single- and multicore conductors.

The free fixing of each double spring allows the concurrent use of various conductor cross-sections between 0.5 and 2.5 mm² within one connector without impact on the adjacent connection.

Please note that HelaCon Plus Mini is not designed for fine-stranded wires.
