The vendor’s line of Heat Trace Connectors reportedly provide an electrically and environmentally reliable method to interconnect oil pipeline heat trace elements, while offering a reduction in installation time and cost over the traditional junction box method of connections.
The coaxial design allows for complete 360° connection, which
eliminates alignment problems during installation. The coil spring
contact provides for a highly reliable connection, says the vendor, and
reduces the chance of contact destruction if the connector is
accidentally disconnected while under load. A pivot lever locking
mechanism, located on the connector’s exterior, provides a fast and
secure fit as well as holding power. Once the levers are fastened, they
can only be disengaged with a standard screwdriver, preventing
accidental disconnections.Weidmuller www.weidmuller.com800.849.9343
