Klauke 162R Parallel Connector 240 mm²

The Klauke 162R is a parallel connector engineered for joining two 240 mm² conductors side by side. Unlike standard in-line connectors, its parallel layout reduces installation space while maintaining a high current path, making it a practical choice for dense electrical panels and distribution boxes.

Highlights

• Connects two 240 mm² conductors in parallel
• Tinned brass body for corrosion resistance
• Two screw terminals for secure, maintenance-free connections
• Uninsulated design for use in protected enclosures

In daily use

The 162R accepts stranded or solid conductors up to 240 mm². Its screw terminals provide a reliable mechanical and electrical connection without the need for crimping tools. The tinned brass construction withstands harsh environments, while the compact parallel configuration saves space on DIN rails or in junction boxes.
