Product Introduction:
The HIMA Z7138/3330/C6/P2 Cable Plug is a precision-engineered 6-pole industrial connector, designed specifically for high-reliability signal and power connections in critical safety applications. Built to meet stringent industrial standards, this plug forms a vital part of distributed control and safety instrumented systems (SIS), particularly in hazardous or mission-critical environments.
With a rugged nickel-plated housing and high-performance EMC shielding, the Z7138/3330/C6/P2 ensures a secure, interference-free interface between field devices and automation controllers. Its modularity, mechanical strength, and IP-rated protection make it suitable for both cabinet-mounted and field-level installations.
This version (C6/P2) includes a 6-contact configuration with P2-style coding for alignment and protection, optimized for integration in HIMA HIMax and HIMatrix systems, while maintaining compatibility with other industrial automation solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
What does the “P2” designation in the part number refer to?
It indicates a specific coding position that prevents incorrect insertion with other connector types—ideal for safety-critical wiring. -
Can I use this connector with standard multi-core signal cable?
Yes, standard industrial-grade cables (shielded or unshielded) in the 6–12 mm range are supported. -
Is this plug compatible with HIMA HIMatrix or HIMax series?
Yes, the Z7138/3330/C6/P2 is designed for seamless integration with both HIMatrix and HIMax control systems. -
How do I terminate the wires in the connector—do I need special tools?
No special tools are needed. You can use either screw terminals (with a flat-head screwdriver) or crimp contacts, depending on the model variant. -
Is this suitable for control panels located outdoors?
Yes, provided it’s installed within a weatherproof enclosure or control cabinet, thanks to its IP65 protection. -
Does the connector support both analog and digital signal transmission?
Absolutely. It can carry analog (4–20 mA, ±10 V) or digital signals (0/24 V logic) depending on the connected equipment. -
How do I ensure proper shielding continuity when installing?
Ensure the cable shielding is connected properly to the grounding frame through the gland or shield clamp during wiring. -
Are replacement contact pins or housings available separately?
Yes. HIMA and authorized distributors offer individual connector parts for field servicing. -
Can this connector be used in vibration-prone environments like rotating machinery panels?
Yes, its locking mechanism and compact build make it vibration-resistant and secure in mobile or industrial machinery. -
How long can I expect this connector to last under normal industrial use?
With proper handling and correct mating/unmating procedures, the connector can last over 500 cycles, equivalent to several years of daily use.
