When you're wiring a control panel, the connector at the end of a cable often doesn't get enough attention until it stops working. A poor match can cost you time on the install and later during maintenance. For a six-contact control cable connection, the Lapp Epic 10.1710 6-Contact Screw Terminated Industrial Connector Receptacle gives you a specific set of features to evaluate: six pins, screw termination, copper contacts, and a pin-style body.
Quick verdict
If your project needs a six-pin receptacle with screw terminals, the Lapp Epic 10.1710 is a direct, practical choice at USD 50.00. It packages a clear 6-pin configuration, screw terminal terminations, and copper contact material in a new unit.
Who it suits
This receptacle suits anyone working on industrial control wiring who needs exactly six contacts in a pin layout. The screw termination is especially useful if you prefer to secure each conductor by tightening a screw, or if you expect to do field rework and want to release and re-secure wires without replacing connectors.
What stands out from the listed details
The strongest feature is the screw-terminated connection. You get the conductors secured by screw pressure, which is straightforward to execute and re-do. The six-contact count is the core spec-enough for a small control signal bundle. Adding to that are copper contacts, a standard conductive material for many connection types. The product is a pin-style receptacle, so the contact arrangement is clearly on the pin side of the connection.
Meaningful trade-offs
The trade-off here is that the connector is narrowly defined. It's a six-pin unit, and pin-style, so the other half of your connection has to be the matching socket-style part with the same pin count. Because it uses screw termination, your install time may be slightly longer than with a quick-connect solution, but the ability to unscrew and re-terminate is a convenience for maintenance. At USD 50.00, it's a specific price point that fits a six-contact industrial receptacle with these specs.
Bottom line
Choose the Lapp Epic 10.1710 if you have a six-contact, pin-style connection in mind and want the simplicity of screw terminals. It's a clean, focused component for a control cable connector I/O setup, and the listed features line up well with a straightforward installation.
Lapp Epic 10.1710 6-Contact Screw Terminated Industrial Connector Receptacle
The Lapp Epic 10.1710 is listed as a new, 6-pin, screw-terminated industrial connector receptacle with pin-style connection and copper contact material. The listed price is USD 50.00. It's a bare receptacle unit, so the value is in how it completes a control cable run when paired with a matching plug.
A concrete reason to consider it is the combination of screw termination and copper contacts. Screw termination means you secure each wire by tightening a screw, which is a simple process and easy to reverse if a wire changes. Copper contacts give you a conventional conductive material for the electrical path. The six-pin arrangement gives you enough circuits for a modest I/O bundle.
The limitation to keep in mind is that this is a six-contact pin-style receptacle, so your cable connector needs to be the matching socket-type half with the same pin arrangement. If that matches your existing panel setup, the Lapp Epic 10.1710 delivers exactly what its title says: a screw-terminated, six-contact industrial connector receptacle.
