Type J Plugs, Receptacles and Connectors
Application
J-Line devices can be found in a broad range of
industrial and marine applications. These devices
may be specied for virtually any use, such as:
data processing, portable heavy equipment, industry,
shipyards and underoor applications.
J-Line Series devices are available in 30, 60, 100 and
200 amp at 600 VAC, 250 VDC Maximum (Also available
upon request in 150 and 270 amp types for disconnect
use only). The product is offered from 2-pole, 3-wire
through 4-pole, 4-wire.
J-Line Series devices are designed for indoor or outdoor
use. When properly maintained and installed, J-Line
devices will provide reliable operation in wet, damp, dirty
and corrosive industrial environments.

2. Select maximum allowable wire and cable size for
amperage rating from Table 1. Size and type of
exible cords and cables must be in compliance with
N.E.C. Article 400.

3. Establish a wiring pattern so that the same colored
wire is put into the same numbered contacts on all
plugs and receptacles in that system.
J-Line devices are polarized so the plug will enter
receptacle or connector only one way. Also, contact
chambers in insulating bodies are identied by
number insuring proper polarity of conductors
through mating plugs and receptacles/connectors.

Electrical Testing
Do not connect to power until the following electrical tests
have been performed.
1. Make continuity checks of wiring with Ohmmeter to
verify correct phasing and grounding connections.
2. Check insulation resistance to be sure system does
not have any short circuits or unwanted grounds.
Connect all devices in the system, turn the power on and
test the system.
Maintenance
Inspection of electrical equipment used in industrial and
heavy use situations must be conducted regularly to
ensure proper function and safety.
Check for the following during inspection:
1. Unsecured contact wire terminals
2. Cracked or broken housings
3. An unfastened or loose ground conductor
4. Deteriorated or misplaced gaskets
5. Loose or missing screws
WARNING
If any part of the plug, receptacle or connector
appear to be missing or damaged, DISCONTINUE
USE IMMEDIATELY. Replace with factory
replacement parts only before continuing use.
