This compatibility reduces sourcing complexity and ensures reliable mating across the Arktite family for consistent field performance.
AREA6425 S22 supports a 60A amperage rating, with a voltage rating of 600 Vac / 250 Vdc and a frequency range of 50 to 400 Hz. It uses a three-wire, four-pole configuration with Style 2 grounding and a spring-door receptacle style. The copper-free aluminum construction and 1-1/2" trade size further define its electrical and mechanical fit.
Yes. AREA6425 S22 is rated NEMA 4 and classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, making it appropriate for indoor and outdoor use where weather protection and general industrial safety are required. This pairing helps maintain reliability in plants, warehouses, and exterior enclosures without specialized hazardous-location adaptations.
The spring door protects contacts from dust and moisture, reducing corrosion risk and extending service intervals. Reversed contacts simplify field maintenance and mating in tight spaces, enabling quicker cable and plug changes without compromising alignment or electrical integrity. Together, these features improve uptime in continuous-operation environments.
The combination of a durable copper-free aluminum housing, low-weight design, and protective spring door minimizes corrosion-related downtime and maintenance labor. Compatibility with Arktite components reduces inventory complexity, while the robust NEMA 4 rating supports longer service life in ordinary locations, delivering lower lifecycle costs and faster return on investment.
