Phillips Industries said it has added a sealing component to improve the performance and extend the life of its PermaPlug, creating the Weather-Tite PermaPlug.
“Damage can be costly from unscheduled downtime, interruption in electrical power and even potential electrical arcing caused by moisture and contaminants in the socket,” said Bob Phillips, CEO and president. “We felt a real need to improve this connection for safety, as well as the longevity of the product. Connectors with the new Weather-Tite seal keep contaminants from damaging the electrical system.”
Features of the connectors include: blue nitrile sealing rings that stop magnesium chloride and other debris from entering socket; mates with any SAE approved 7-way conductor socket, wiper seals are field replaceable; connector rear is sealed with compression clamp and TPR sleeve for further corrosion protection; cable guard is ratchet locked, preventing vibration from loosening guard; connector has ABS bumper; 26-gauge brass insert pins have stainless steel compression springs; and the unit comes standard with dielectric grease
