FLORHAM PARK, N.J.–Lapp Group USA has announced that select models of its EPIC^® rectangular connectors are now certified to UL 50e standards, ensuring performance in harsh, non-hazardous operating environments. The UL 50e standard applies to electrical equipment exposed to harsh conditions, including water, dust, and salt exposures.

Reported to be well suited for power, control, and data applications, Lapp's EPIC series of rectangular connectors secures electrical connections in harsh environments and reduces installation time and maintenance downtime. Selected models of EPIC HB, HA, and ULTRA HB housings have been tested and certified by UL to the NEMA 4,4X, and 12 standards, the company reported. The use of UL 50e certified EPIC rectangular housings within control cabinets ensures the integrity of the cabinet's NEMA 4, 4X, or 12 rating.
