New Phillips connectors provide visual assurance

The company's new Window Crimp & Seal Connectors feature both Clear-Vu and Sta-Dry technologies, which allow for easy see-through inspection and guarantee a waterproof seal to prevent corrosion. The sealed window in the center of the new connectors gives instant and continuous visual assurance that wires are seated properly and that there is no corrosion build up.

Phillips Industries said it has applied both Clear-Vu and Sta-Dry technologies to new Window Crimp & Seal Connectors, providing optimal visual assurance that wires are sealed and crimped properly, and that corrosion build-up is prevented.

Standard connectors do not allow the installer to see the wire, which if stripped too short or not fully seated properly would result in poor terminations. According to Phillips, it has solved those problems with Clear-Vu adhesive lined tubing, which allows for easy see-through inspection and guarantees a waterproof seal to prevent corrosion.
 
The sealed window in the center of the new connectors gives instant and continuous visual assurance that wires are seated properly and that there is no corrosion build up. Color-coded stripes identify wire gauge size and also indicate/guide the installer to the proper crimp position in the center of the barrel. The connectors are just the latest product development using technologies designed to reduce maintenance costs and minimize un-scheduled breakdowns of truck and trailer equipment. Phillips Sta-Dry products help prevent corrosion build up in electrical and air systems, one of the major concerns of vehicle operators, according to the company.
