Turck has announced 1″-16UN and 1-1/8″-16UN minifast explosion-proof, feed-through receptacles, which install directly into standard 3/4″ conduit entries without requiring additional conduit or poured seals. These quick-disconnect B-size (1″) and C-size (1-1/8″) receptacles expedite installation while maintaining the explosion-proof ratings of instrument housings and explosion-proof enclosures in Class I, Division 2 hazardous areas.
Designed with 316 stainless steel housings, these receptacles are fully potted and withstand 6000 psi of pressure. To reduce wiring errors, the 7- and 8-pole B-size and 9-, 10- and 12-pole C-size connectors are specially keyed in a way that ensures the connectors cannot be improperly mated. The receptacles’ connectors are compatible with the company’s FM-approved cordsets and provide NEMA 1, 3, 4 and 6P, as well as IEC IP68 protection against liquid ingress when a mating connector is attached.
