The mating plug has a cast groove
located on the outside of the plug
sleeve. This groove lines up with the
raised rib.
Arktite receptacles have a cast raised
rib located inside the receptacle sleeve.
The location of the rib is in a specific
relationship to the receptacle insulator
that houses the contacts.
Standard Materials:
• Metallic receptacle housings, plug and
cord connector bodies – high impact
strength copper-free aluminum
