QWL
the environmental connector
• HIGH CURRENT CAPACITY for power distribution network and inputs to
large equipment
• RUGGED CONSTRUCTION dictated by the working environment, high
strength aluminum shells with Alumilite 225* hard anodic finish, shock resis-
tant resilient inserts, gaskets or “O” rings at appropriate surfaces for perfect
weather tight connections.
• SERVICEABILITY AND FOOL-PROOF OPERATION with fast coupling, easily
maintained double stub threads, left hand accessory threads and single
keyway mating.
• VERSATILITY - both MS and custom insert patterns available to accommo-
date a wide variety of multi conductor cables.
