Russellstoll Offers Plugs,

Receptacles And Connectors

For Cord Sets—Literature Offered

High amperage portable cord sets can handle up to 400 ampheres at 600 volts equipped with

Max-Gard® pin and sleeve plugs, connectors and receptacles from the Russellstoll Division, Mid- land-Ross Corporation.

The 400-amp plugs and receptacles are of- fered in two to four wire, three- to five-pole con- tact configurations. The five-pole contact con- figuration provides three-phase conductors, a neutral and equipment ground conductor. Also, two additional control contacts can be provided for electrical interlock, metering or control cir- cuits.

All Max-Gard receptacles and connectors fea- ture gated dead-front construction to prevent insertion of foreign objects. Plugs, receptacles and connectors are supplied in single rated fac- tory polarization to prevent insertion of devices polarized to a different amperage, voltage, fre- quency or phase.

Plugs, connectors and receptacles are con- structed with copper-free cast aluminum hous- ings for strength and corrosion resistance. All contacts are self-aligning and self-wiping with solderless pressure screw terminals.

Insulating interior parts are molded from high strength, glass-filled polyester. Interiors are po- larized so they can only be assembled in the correct position. All hardware and assembly screws are 300 series stainless steel.

Receptacles and connectors can be specified with weathertight (flap cover) or watertight (screw cover) protection. Acme threads prevent "freezing" of screw collars and covers. "O" rings on pins, sleeves and interiors provide environ- mental separation and true waterproof integri- ty- i
