Sleeve and Contact Pin
Terminal
Identification:
Ground, neutral and phase terminals are clearly identified for easy recognition
and ease of wiring.
Color
Coded:
Avoid mismatching. Prevents confusion with regards to voltage ratings. Safety!
Ease of Use!
Spring
Loaded Gasketed Covers:
Protects against accidental encounter with live contacts. Also, protects against
intrusion of dirt, dust and moisture. A bayonet coupling device is used to provide
optimum stability and simplify installation. Reliability! Safety.
Recessed
Contacts:
Contact sleeves are recessed in the narrow contact tubes thus, providing a "finger
proof" device and protecting against any accidental encounter with live
contacts. Safety!
Staggered
Contacts:
Oversized ground contact is farthest forward, assuring first make and last break.
Neutral is next to prevent the possibility of an "open neutral" condition.
Phase contact is farthest making it last to make, first to break. Safety!
High
Impact Thermoplastic Housing:
The nonmetallic device, while abuse and corrosion resistant, is also nonconductive,
which enhances the safety of the product. The insulated housing is made from
a high impact, nylon material and is UV stabilized. Safety! Durability
