Heavy Duty Circuit
Breaking Plugs and Receptacles
Industrial Heavy Duty
Non-hazardous Areas
NEMA 4 Watertight
Split Pin Contact Design:
• Provides nearly 360° of contact at
every insertion, ensuring protection
against heat rise and eliminating
arcing on critical surfaces
• Continuous contact over length
and circumference of mated pins
provides superior safety and long-
term performance
• Self-wiping at every insertion to
prevent environmental
contamination build-up
• The additional features below are
called out in the illustration on this page
The ground contact is bonded to the
receptacle housing (Style 2)
Unimpeded, easy-access phase and ground
terminals make wire termination quick and easy
Grounding contacts that make-first and break-
last in the unlikely event of keyway failure
An arc formed when the plug is being
removed is instantly snuffed in the deep
confined insulated arcing chamber
A detent spring forms a parallel grounding
path through the metallic plug sleeve and
receptacle housing and is the first contact to
make and the last to break
The plug sleeve is keyed to the receptacle to
prevent mispolarization
The gasketing system provides
unsurpassed watertight integrity (NEMA 4)
All aluminum Uni-Shell™ construction
provides superior strength in abusive
environments
The Tri-Lock™ cable grip has 3-piece design
that equally distributes gripping power around
perimeter of cable. Cord jacket does not get
pinched, eliminating potential for damage to
both internal conductors and external cable
jacket. Cable grip is located inside plug
housing, eliminating corrosion of vital
hardware and making plug maintenance easy.
The unique Sure-Seal™ cable gland has two
gasket sizes which fit entire range of cable
diameters, reducing risk of improper
assembly. The gasket ratchets into the Tri-
lock™ cable grip to prevent plug from
turning or loosening in high vibration areas.
Wrenching surfaces make Arktite plugs
quick and easy to assemble
Smooth and contoured design of plug
housing eliminates occurrence of cable grip
snagging or breaking off. Tri-Lock™ screws
are captive so cable grip cannot come apart
during assembly. Prevents critical screws
from getting lost during installation.
Plastic sleeve between insulator body and
housing minimizes possibility of electrical
shock in event of ground failure. Increases
creepage and clearance protection.
