MALE OR FEMALE RECEPTACLES –
Male receptacle must be used on power
side, female receptacle on machine side.
Receptacle consists of an insulator and
contact assembly, a mounting shell and
protective cap. The wiring panel or box
must have a mounting hole machined per
mounting dimensions shown below. A
rubber gasket must be assembled between
mounting shell and panel. Male or female
receptacles must be mounted to the panel in
accordance with applicable electrical code.
The mounting shell must be bolted against the wiring panel. Torque bolts to 100 in.-lbs.
The insulator body has a flexible rubber flange which is compressed by mounting shell to
create a dust and watertight seal. The receptacle must be mounted to a panel or wiring box
which meets applicable code for safety and protection to prevent contact with terminal end.
The proper mounting shell must be mated with the proper colored insulator and contact
assembly. See paragraph 1.1.9 for proper color code and phase identification. Cable lugs
are bolted to rear of bus bar on receptacle contact. Care must be taken to support the cable
to prevent excessive strain on receptacle.
MALE CONNECTOR – Power side. FEMALE CONNECTOR – Machine side or motor side.
The male connector assembly consists of a male contact and male insulator. Metal coupler
is also used for in-line cable connector.
The female connector assembly consists of a female contact and a female insulator having a
metal ring with a locking device locking groove.
The molded insulator has a ring molded inside to retain the contact. The ring has two (2) U
shape slots to accept two (2) pins on O.D. of contact.
The contact has drive pins plus a spring retainer locking ring which locks into the ring inside
of the insulator.
Cable and connectors are rated for 125°C (257°F), so heavy insulated gloves must be
worn when handling.
NOTE: A bonding ground conductor must be provided if required in accordance with
applicable electrical code. Ground shall be established first and opened last when making
set up. NOTE: Soldered connection is not acceptable for ground by National Electrical
Code
®
or Canadian Electrical Code. Ground lead must use crimped, bolted or set screw
means for attaching cable to contact or terminal.
ASSEMBLY STEPS
A.
Cut cable to length.
B.
Remove cable jacket 1-7/8 inch.
C.
Crimp or solder conductor to contact. See Figure 4 at right for tools. Wrap one or two
layers of neoprene tape over cable jacket to make positive seal when cable clamp is
tightened around insulator sleeve.

D.
Insulator should be clamped to cable using a hose clamp or may be vulcanized to the
cable. Use one (1) or two (2) wraps of neoprene tape over cable before pulling into
insulator. Tighten hose clamp to 30 in.-lbs.

E.
Position contact as shown in Figure 5 below by aligning the contact drive pins with
the slots on the rear of insulator. Push contact into insulator from cable end of
insulator. Push until pins on contact hit the ring inside of insulator, rotate insulator
while pushing against cable until pins align with U shaped openings in internal ring.
Push until retainer ring locks into metal ring inside of insulator. Pull back on cable to
determine that it is locked together.
DO NOT ASSEMBLE WITHOUT SPRING RETAINER IN PLACE. HOSE CLAMP DOES
NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE RETENTION. DO NOT MOUNT IN VERTICAL POSITION.
LUBRICANT
A spray lubricant such as CRC 02094 spray may be used to aid in assembly of the contact
to the insulator.
RIG-UP PROCEDURE
A.
When setting up an installation, check to be sure that all power is turned off and
locked out. Begin at power source, plug female cable connector (machine side), into
male connector or receptacle. Be careful to maintain circuit identification. Mate like
colors, phases or polarities.
MAINTENANCE
We recommend a maintenance program as described per maintenance sheet MS1880
