IP67 watertight protection paired with a Santoprene thermoplastic elastomer body reduces moisture ingress and corrosion risk in harsh environments. This translates to extended service life and lower maintenance costs for equipment exposed to washdowns, rain, and dust. Application: Industrial control panels, motor controllers, and field wiring in damp or wet settings. Electrical ratings of 15A at 250V with a NEMA 6-15R two-pole configuration and grounding enable safe, code-compliant power connections. The result is reliable operation under vibration and frequent cycling, minimizing unscheduled downtime. Application: Motor starters, power distribution, and equipment enclosures in manufacturing and mining environments. Back-wire termination with a screw connection provides flexible wiring options for #18-10 AWG. This enables faster terminations, reduces mis-wiring risk, and improves consistency across installations. Application: Field terminations in control panels, junction boxes, and portable equipment with limited wiring space. Nickel-plated brass contacts offer low contact resistance and a robust 14 lbf-in torque rating for secure connections. This improves electrical performance, repeatable seating, and resistance to loosening in vibration-heavy environments. Application: High-vibration conveyors, robotics, and outdoor machinery where reliable contact is critical. Compact dimensions at 1.59 in width, 1.59 in depth, and 4 in height with a lightweight 0.335 lb core-pack packaging simplify installation and inventory management. This reduces panel real estate needs, shipping costs, and stock-keeping challenges. Application: Panel assemblies in industrial automation, processing plants, and portable equipment that require a watertight, space-efficient receptacle.
