Slim plug profile that easily fits into tight spaces and ports with simple two-piece assembly saving time and reducing termination error. These plugs are able to reterminate up to 20 times with no additional parts.

The ability to test and validate equipment and systems before implementation is key competitive advantage for any manufacturer. However, in these still early days for the technology, not every manufacturer is ready for this stage of industry’s digital transformation.
In this episode, we connect with Brent Kooiman, senior project engineer and design manager at Interstates, to learn about the differences between general purpose and inverter duty motors and the types of industrial applications each are best suited for.
The modular MX-System is designed to replace control cabinets, reducing wiring requirements as well as installation and upgrade times.
