Connectors

European Standard:
EN 362:2004
Personal protective equipment against falls from a height - Connectors

Description:
A connector is an openable safety device, which enables a person to link himself or herself directly or indirectly to an anchor. Connectors are usually made from steel or aluminium alloy and vary according to their locking mechanism, size, and shape (oval, Delta or D shaped).

Karibaners
A karabiner is a connector, with a spring-loaded entry gate which can be secured in the closed position either manually by a screwed sleeve, or automatically by means of an automatic locking device. A karabiner in which the entry gate is secured manually in the closed position by a screwed sleeve is known as a ‘screwgate karibiner’.

Steel screwgate karibiners are recommended for use in industrial rope access.

Maillons
Also known as a ‘maillon rapide’, ‘quicklink’ or ‘screwlink connector’, a maillon is a connector that is manually secured in the closed position by a threaded sleeve which becomes a load-bearing part of the connector when fully screwed up. Maillons are designed for multi-directional loading and can be used for rigging and personal attachment on a harness.
