Ex Suppliers of connectors
Simple To Use Quick To Terminate

Temporary but industrial safe disconnection of power is critical in many industries. To meet this requirement Hawke International has introduced a new series of EExd Connectors that are ATEX approved, easy to use and exceptionally robust. They permit the safe and rapid service, repair and replacement of key plant, or provide quick connection to temporary equipment. Their application is beneficial in capital-intensive processes where minimum downtime is essential.

The new connectors are ideal for Zone 1 and Zone 2 explosive environments commonly found in oil and gas exploration, production and process plants. However, their features also offer benefits in Zone 21 and Zone 22 explosive dust environments, or in harsh and hostile non-explosive applications.

In compliance with the ATEX Directive (94/9/EC), the new design retains many of the best features of Hawke's previous connector range, but in addition adds innovations based on user feedback. The heavy duty, maintenance free stainless steel body construction is retained, along with the acclaimed Acme mating thread; enabling quick connection whilst preventing thread binding or galling.
