    Washdown Switch-Rated Pin-and-Sleeve Connectors

    Connect and disconnect with the power on—spring-loaded contacts open like a switch when separating the connectors, preventing an electrical arc. When mated, these connectors create a watertight connection that stands up to washdowns. They meet UL 2682 so they are approved as switch-rated connectors for branch circuit and motor circuit disconnect switching.

    Internal Shutter—Keep out foreign objects and avoid accidental contact with power.
    Pin-and-Sleeve Connector Designation—The ground connection pin is counted in the number of wires for IEC 60309 pin-and-sleeve connector designation. For example, a 2-pole, 3-wire (2P3W) device has two poles, plus a ground connection pin, for a total count of three wires.
    Finger Drawplates—Create a grip around plugs and sockets or receptacles, making it easier to pull them together tightly when mating.
