The 847/848 series is in full accordance with the military standard VG96918.  The robust reverse bayonet locking system derived from the VG95234, in combination with the IP68 sealing and a conus design backshell, permits the processing of shielded cables and shrink-fit parts. This makes the system the perfect solution in all harsh environments, whether in heavy industry, geophysics or defence applications.

It offers 3 shell sizes with layouts for single phase 250V/16A or 3 phase 500V/25A up to 500V/63A and covers all standardized energy supply classes of VDE0620-1.
The first mate-last break ground contact connected to the metal housing first contacts during interlocking and then disconnects during unlocking. It thus serves as a permanent protective function. The pilot contact (electrical interlock) has a relay or contactor. This ensures that the connector does not allow current flow until it is completely locked by means of a bayonet lock. The current flow is also interrupted before the connector is completely disconnected.

The solid aluminium housing of the 848 series is coated with the proven zinc-nickel process (RoHS compliant) to withstand 500 hours of salt spray testing. The silver-plated contacts are intended for processing with crimping pliers.
