High amperage rating enables up to 1135A continuous current, ensuring reliable power delivery to large equipment. This reduces the risk of overheating or voltage drop at peak loads, improving system reliability. It is well-suited for heavy machinery feeders, main power distribution, and large control panels in manufacturing facilities. Cable size compatibility with 777 kcmil conductors simplifies wiring schemes. This eliminates the need for multi-connector splices, lowering installation time and potential contact resistance. Use with feeders and branch circuits in plant environments that require high-current capacity and robust mechanical support. Voltage rating of 1000 Vac/dc provides versatility across AC and DC systems. This supports diverse applications from magnetic starters to DC drives while maintaining insulation integrity. The result is a single connector family capable of supporting varied voltages in plants with mixed technology. Hexagon crimp or solder connection options give installer flexibility. Hex crimping delivers repeatable, vibration-resistant terminations, while soldering offers a permanent, low-resistance path in tight spaces. This dual approach minimizes special tooling needs and accelerates field assemblies. Rubber housing and copper contacts offer durability and conductivity. The yellow color enhances visibility for quick identification in cluttered panels. Copper contacts ensure low resistance, while the rubber body provides environmental sealing in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA 3 rating provide formal safety and enclosure protection. Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location classification reduces unnecessary barriers in many industrial sites. Together with the Roughneck lineage, these features deliver predictable performance, lower maintenance costs, and faster project timelines.
