Explosion-proof steel housing enhances safety in hazardous environments. This design reduces ignition risk and keeps equipment within NEC/CEC compliance, even during rough handling in process plants. It is well suited for Class I Division 1 and related classes, where portable cord connectors must survive vibration and dust. 1 inch NPT threaded gland enables secure mounting to standard enclosures. The straightforward gland connection minimizes installation time and avoids additional adapters, speeding up panel wiring and reducing field errors. This is particularly valuable in retrofit projects and new builds where tight schedules matter. Non-armoured cable compatibility reduces inventory and installation costs. By eliminating armour requirements, technicians can terminate cords quickly while maintaining sealing integrity. This is beneficial for control panels and motor control centers that use readily available non-armoured cables. Compact footprint with a length of 2.88 in and a width and height of 0.63 in fits into tight enclosures and along equipment frames; steel construction provides durability in harsh environments. NEC/CEC compliance and explicit area classification support procurement and regulatory approval for North American facilities. Support resources, including installation instructions and catalog pages, help ensure correct assembly and seal integrity, reducing risk of miswiring and rework. Steel weight of 0.61 lb offers a balance of ruggedness and portability for field service and maintenance workflows.
