Product Information

Full details

The DEHN 301000 KS Connector is an essential component for professional installers and electricians building robust lightning protection and grounding systems. It provides the high-level security needed for connecting round conductors in industrial settings, ensuring reliable electrical conductivity for currents up to 100kA. A notable caveat is that the connector is untreated, meaning it may be subject to oxidation in highly corrosive environments if not specified for the particular installation site.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum lightning current capacity?

The connector is rated for lightning currents up to 100kA (10/350 µs).

Is this connector compatible with flat strips?

No, this specific model (301000) is designed exclusively for round conductors with diameters between 7mm and 10mm.

Does it meet international standards?

Yes, the product is compliant with DIN EN 62561-1.

What tool is needed to tighten the clamp?

The clamp features an M10 screw, requiring an appropriate socket or wrench for secure installation.

What is the weight of the unit?

Each unit weighs 61 grams.

Can I use this in a coastal environment?

Since the connector is untreated, care should be taken in highly corrosive environments; consult your local lightning protection design guidelines regarding material compatibility.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty achieving a tight fit on 7mm conductors

Ensure the conductor is properly centered within the clamp housing and tighten the M10 screw in incremental turns to distribute pressure evenly.

Connector shows signs of surface discoloration

Because the material is untreated, surface oxidation is common; if conductivity is still within spec, this is typically cosmetic, but ensure the connection remains tight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High lightning current carrying capacity (100kA)
  • Complies with rigorous DIN EN 62561-1 safety standards
  • Sturdy pressure die-cast zinc construction
  • Simple and effective M10 screw-clamp installation

Cons

  • Untreated surface finish may require consideration in highly corrosive atmospheres
  • Limited to specific conductor diameter range (7-10mm)
  • Not intended for non-lightning protection structural applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic hand tools, specifically a torque wrench or socket compatible with an M10 bolt. Ensure the conductor surface is clean and free of debris or heavy oxidation before tightening the connector to ensure peak electrical conductivity. As the unit is untreated, avoid using it in environments where galvanic corrosion could be accelerated by the presence of dissimilar metals without proper isolation measures. Regular inspection during annual lightning protection audits is recommended to ensure the clamp has not loosened due to thermal expansion or mechanical vibration.
