HPC Series

Switchcraft recently introduced a complete line of panel mount

speaker connectors that are completely compatible with the

complete line of cable mounts as well. The complete HPC

Series offers both panel mount and cord mount connectors.

The HPC panel mounts have been updated with new

silver-plated contact materials that boost the contact ratings to

30A per UL 1977 on PC mount versions, 50A per UL 1977

depth flanges or 0.200" depth flanges. The 0.200" depth flange

allows for rear mounting of the HPC Series, and proper mating

of all cord plugs. The panel mount versions are available with

right angle PC mount terminals. The right angle PC mount

version also has, as an option, a mounting post which allows

the connector to snap onto the PC board for wave soldering.

The HPC cord plugs are available in either straight, right

angle, or as an in-line. The in-line version mates with either the

straight or right angle cord plug, allowing the end user to

panel mounts. The in-line mates with our HPC cord plugs, as

series cord plugs are the “push to lock” feature, similar to the

connection of an XLR connector. The HPC cord plugs, when

do not require a 1/4" turn to engage. Simply push the connector

in until it locks. To disengage, push forward on the latch lever

and pull the connector out. This feature eliminates the need to

remember to turn the connector to make contact. All HPC cord

assembly, and make it easy to change cord plugs. To change

from a straight cord plug to an in-line cord plug, back off the

terminals, fasten the new cord connector, twist on the handle

and the strain relief. Barbs on the handle keep the handle from

vibrating loose from the front shell.

Both HPC panel mounts and cord plugs incorporate a built-in

gasket, which allows them to meet IP 25 harsh environment

ratings, as well as IEC 529 and IEC 1010-1 safety ratings.
