Standard Materials:

Copper-free aluminum construction with
electrostatically applied epoxy/polyester
finish. Contacts are brass with a patented
beryllium copper spring tensioner. External
screws are 316 stainless steel.

Features:

The VersaMate product line includes 30, 60,
150j, 100 and 200 Amp plugs, receptacles
and connectors with a full range of back
boxes. Popular options include reverse
service and polarization. The VersaMate

. Standard location receptacle
bolt hole patterns match competitive back
boxes so users can upgrade to VersaMate
without changing back boxes in instances
where changing the conduit system is
difficult.

Plugs:

Octagonal style (patented) for
a firm and sure grip when
connecting or disconnecting
is featured on both plug and
cable connector bodies.
Insulators have high
mechanical and dielectric
strength and are “Low Arc Tracking.”
“Increased Safety” type box terminals
with gripper ribs securely clamp around
conductors. Funneled conductor entry
chambers lead all properly stripped
conductors into terminals simultaneously.
NEMA 4X rating when inserted into
VersaMate receptacle and locking ring is
tightened. Includes suitability for Type P
marine cable.

Receptacles:

Exclusive Patented “Breech­Lock” cap serves as either
flip lid or screw cover.
Receptacle is NEMA 3R with
lid snapped shut or NEMA 4X
with lid turned shut or when
VersaMate plug is inserted
and locking ring tightened. Patented notch
in cap arm holds cap open for easy plug
insertion or maintenance. Patented pin
design uses slotted spring clip which avoids
excessive wear while providing continuous
electrical pin to sleeve contact. VersaMate
receptacles use the same “Increased Safety”
terminals and funnel design as VersaMate
plugs.

Cable Clamping
Assembly:

Plugs and cable
connectors are
supplied with an exclusive
neoprene “Onion Skin” peel-away
type grommet. The VersaMate
cable clamp system captures cable with
four grip points using only two tightening
screws. Clamp guide assembly provides a
firm fit over a wide range of cable diameters.
Non-removable set screws prevent clamp
guide assembly from backing out. Clamps
have smooth contoured shoulder design
to prevent snags or damage when moving
equipment.

Back Boxes:

VersaMate back boxes
come in a variety
of mounting styles.
Exclusive “blind”
receptacle mounting holes
prevent moisture from entering box via
thread cavities. Boxes come with a green
grounding screw.

REVERSE SERVICE: S39

Add suffix S39 for factory Reverse
Service of receptacles, plugs
or connectors. Receptacles
or connectors are assembled
with plug interiors while plugs
are assembled with receptacle
interiors. For applications where
the plug is energized (i.e. from a
generator) to feed a non-energized
receptacle. Prevents easy contact
with energized exposed pins. This
conversion can be performed in
the field with a complementary
plug and receptacle (30A to 150A devices shown on pages PR5­PR8). 200A Amp devices shown on page PR9 are a factory-only
option. Reverse service is not for hazardous locations.

POLARIZED OPTION: S37

Add suffix S37 for special polarity.

Can prevent connection between mismatched voltages or
frequencies in areas where devices of the same amperage, poles
and grounding style are used. Receptacle or connector interiors are
rotated 22-1/2° to the right; plug is rotated opposite to match. This is
a factory only option.
