Harsh Environment Straight-Blade
Plugs, Sockets, and Receptacles

Rated to NEMA 6P, 13, and IP69K when mated, connectors withstand oil/coolant spraying; high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns; and are corrosion resistant so they can be used in marine environments.

Plugs have a multiple-ring seal to keep out liquid when mated. They have a locking ring that screws together with sockets and receptacles so connections remain secure in high-vibration applications such as oil drilling and mining operations.

Sockets and receptacles have an attached cover that creates a watertight seal when not in use.

Note: The current rating of your plug should not exceed that of your socket or receptacle.
