HQ-007/0 and HQ-012/0 crimp inserts provide 10A circuits in H3A hoods and housings. Choose seven or twelve contacts plus protective earth, then select the male or female version. Main contacts use crimp connections; the PE connection differs between the two contact counts.
Model and PE connection selection
| Male insert | Female insert | Contacts | PE connection | PE conductor range |
|---|
| SO-HQ-007/0-MC | SO-HQ-007/0-FC | 7+PE | Screw terminal | 2.5mm², 14AWG |
| SO-HQ-012/0-MC | SO-HQ-012/0-FC | 12+PE | Quick Lock termination | 0.5-2.5mm², 20-14AWG |
Electrical ratings
| Pollution degree | Rated current | Rated voltage | Rated impulse voltage |
|---|
| 3 | 10A | 400V | 6kV |
| 2 | 10A | 400V conductor-to-earth / 690V conductor-to-conductor | 6kV |
The rated voltage according to UL/CSA is 600V for both contact counts.

Contact arrangement and outline drawings
Four individual drawings cover the male and female versions of both contact counts. Use the selected model drawing to check numbered contact positions, PE location and installation depth; the seven-contact and twelve-contact mating faces differ.
