Features and Benefits

Terminal identification - the ground and neutral terminals are clearly identified with large color coded markings for easy recognition.

Insulated housing - tough nylon provides increased safety and maximum impact and abuse resistance.

Gasketed cover and locking ring The self-closing cover sits in a position that provides a weatherproof seal. Simply rotating the cover then locking it makes it watertight

Solid pins - dependable solid pin construction provides for long life and reliable electrical contact.

Watertight multi-diameter sealing glands - for use with varying cable sizes insure a highly reliable seal at the cable entry to the device.

Color coding - all devices are color coded by voltage for quick visual identification of mating devices.

Cable grip - internal strain relief protects the wiring by preventing conductor movement which can cause strain on terminals. The internal cable grip is designed to swing out of the way for easier wiring.

Staggered contacts - in female devices to assure protection of personnel and equipment. Oversized ground contact is farthest forward, assuring first make and last break of the ground for safety. Neutral contact is next to prevent the possibility of an “open neutral” condition that could result in an over-voltage condition at equipment. Phase contact is farthest back, making it last to make, first to break.

Shrouding - protects pins from impact and abuse.

Product identification - every device is marked with its respective catalog number and rating for ease in identification.
