Phillips Industries introduced its new Sta-Dry QCMS2 plug/socket, designed specifically to eliminate the corrosion damage caused when road contaminants enter the electrical system of a heavy-duty vehicle.
According to the company, every feature of the Sta-Dry QCMS2 is designed to reduce costs associated with corrosion build up, including a Sta-Dry seal that semi-hardwires the electrical cable to the tractor, completely stopping any debris from entering. The other end of the electrical cable features Phillips’ field repairable QCP plug; if the plug begins to show signs of corrosion, the cartridge can be easily replaced, keeping the QCMS2 attached to the tractor without breaking its corrosion-free sealed connection, the maker added.
The corrosion-free housing is completely sealed for maximum protection against magnesium and calcium chlorides. A special bonding process connecting the housing to the cable seals out moisture and contaminants at the back of the QCMS2. The brass pins are molded in place to provide a secure connection, the company said.
