Molex Woodhead ArcArrest Switch-Rated Connector System

Molex Woodhead ArcArrest 30A and 60A Switch-Rated Connector System delivers a simple and fast way to de-energize industrial machines and equipment and perform Lockout/Tagout operations. Molex ArcArrest Connectors include Max-Loc cord-grip technology, finger drawplates, lock-out holes, and plug caps in a contoured design. These cost-effective design features enhance cleanability in food processing and other harsh environments. The series delivers high durability for tough industrial applications. Molex ArcArrest Connectors are NEMA 4X and IP69K rated, eliminating the ingress of dust and water. The connectors provide automatic sealing when connected and sealing while disengaged with a closed receptacle lid and plug. Furnace-brazed contact tips product tips with superior flatness and positioning accuracy compared to the flame brazing process.
