Certification and compliance

• UL standards: UL1682, UL1010 Hazardous Locations (NPJ plug only)
• CSA standard: C22.2 No. 182.1
• Wet and damp locations; watertight

• Plugs, sockets, cord connectors and motor plugs are moulded of Krydon fibreglass-reinforced polyester, which is highly resistant to corrosion, heat, weathering and physical abuse
• Grounding contacts that make first and break last in the unlikely event of a keyway failure
• Split-pin contact design provides 360° of electrical contact
• Spring door provides environmental protection for the socket (NEMA 4)
• Keyed for a perfect match in the moulded one-piece insulator housing
• Sealing gaskets at all critical points inside Arktite plugs and sockets protect against dust, dirt, mud, water and corrosive contaminants
• Plugs can be used in both hazardous and non-hazardous areas when used with appropriately rated Arktite sockets
• Total interchangeability with all existing Arktite products for comparable ratings and configurations
• A unique patented strain relief design prevents stress from reaching wire terminations at the contacts

• Housing, interiors, spring doors, clamping rings – Krydon fibreglass-reinforced polyester
• Gaskets and O-rings – neoprene
• Cable clamping basket – nylon
• Contacts – pressure: brass; crimp/solder: leaded brass
• Snap-on cap – moulded elastomer
• Back boxes – copper-free aluminium
