Industrial control cables and connector components can make or break a new build. When you need to connect high-current three-phase equipment in a tough environment, the CHALITECK 63A 4-pin IP67 connector is the clear answer. When you need a lower-priced, multi-contact receptacle for fixed panel wiring, the Lapp Epic 10.1710 6-contact screw-terminated receptacle stands out. Both are pin-style connectors in new condition, but they are designed for different jobs.
Quick verdict
Pick the CHALITECK if 63A, IP67 protection, and a complete male/female plug set are your priorities. Pick the Lapp Epic if you want six contacts and a lower price. For high-power three-phase runs, the CHALITECK leads; for permanent multi-circuit wiring, the Lapp Epic makes more sense.

Where each connector leads
When to go with the CHALITECK
The CHALITECK is the connector to choose when water, dust, and high current are all part of the picture. Its IP67 rating means the sealed housing can stand up to splashes and heavy exposure while carrying 63A across four pins. Because it comes as both male and female, you get a disconnectable connection without hunting for a matching piece.
When to go with the Lapp Epic
The Lapp Epic is the connector for fixed installations where you want six separate wiring points in one housing. Its copper contacts and screw terminals give you a straightforward way to land individual wires, and it costs $19 less than the CHALITECK. If your project is a control cabinet or a permanent machine connection, the Lapp Epic covers it.
Product notes
CHALITECK 63A 4-Pin Male & Female Industrial Waterproof Connector IP67 3-Phase IEC60309
Here is a connector built for high-power industrial connections. The CHALITECK is a 63A 4-pin industrial waterproof connector with an IP67 rating, designed for three-phase IEC60309 applications. Because the listing includes both male and female ends, you can hook up equipment without sourcing a separate plug. The trade-off is the 4-pin configuration: you get fewer contacts than the Lapp Epic's six, so this is not the right choice when you need to route multiple control signals through the same housing. At USD 69.00, it is the higher-priced connector here, and that extra money goes into 63A capacity and IP67 sealing.
Lapp Epic 10.1710 6-Contact Screw Terminated Industrial Connector Receptacle
The Lapp Epic takes a different approach. Listed at USD 50.00, it provides six copper contacts in a screw-terminated industrial receptacle. That makes it a natural fit for fixed panels, junction boxes, or machinery where you need to terminate several wires permanently and want screw clamps for each connection. It is also $19 less than the CHALITECK, which can matter when you are kitting out multiple stations. The limitation is that this is a receptacle only, not a plug-and-socket set, so you will need a separate connector to create a quick-disconnect. If your wiring is permanent and you want more contact positions for the money, the Lapp Epic is the practical option.
Final choice by use case
- High-current three-phase power with water or dust exposure: CHALITECK 63A 4-pin IP67 set.
- Fixed panel wiring with multiple circuits and a lower price: Lapp Epic 10.1710 6-contact receptacle.
- Quick-disconnect plug-and-socket for movable equipment: CHALITECK.
- Screw-terminated permanent installation with six contacts: Lapp Epic.
