HE screw-terminal inserts provide rectangular male and female connections for industrial equipment. Choose 6, 10, 16 or 24 contacts in a single insert, or a 32- or 48-contact arrangement built from two inserts. Each arrangement includes protective-earth connections and uses the corresponding B-size hood and housing.
| Contacts, plus PE | Male model | Female model | Hood and housing size | Insert arrangement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | SO-HE-006-M | SO-HE-006-F | H6B | One insert, positions 1-6 |
| 10 | SO-HE-010-M | SO-HE-010-F | H10B | One insert, positions 1-10 |
| 16 | SO-HE-016-M | SO-HE-016-F | H16B | One insert, positions 1-16 |
| 24 | SO-HE-024-M | SO-HE-024-F | H24B | One insert, positions 1-24 |
| 32 | SO-HE-032-M | SO-HE-032-F | H32B | Two 16-contact inserts, positions 1-16 and 17-32 |
| 48 | SO-HE-048-M | SO-HE-048-F | H48B | Two 24-contact inserts, positions 1-24 and 25-48 |
Select matching contact counts and complementary male and female inserts. Hood entry, mounting style, cable gland and enclosure sealing are separate selections; the insert alone does not establish an assembled connector's ingress-protection rating.

The M and F models use screw terminals. Match the conductor cross-section to the terminal range, strip the conductor to the specified length and tighten the connection to the stated torque.
| Applicable models | Conductor cross-section | Wire size | Stripping length | Tightening/test torque |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All M/F models listed above | 0.14-2.5mm² | 26-14AWG | 7.0mm | 0.5N·m |
Length, width and height below describe one insert block. For the 32- and 48-contact models, use the paired arrangement and the corresponding panel-cutout drawing when planning the complete installation.
