BRAD HARRISON

Brad Harrison is a brand of industrial connectivity products originally developed by Daniel Woodhead Company and now part of the Molex portfolio. The line is known for molded cordsets, receptacles, and connectors used to distribute power and signal in factory automation, material handling, and process industries. The product family includes single-ended and double-ended cordsets, M12 and 1/2"-20 receptacles, and related accessories. These components are built to withstand washdown, coolant, and outdoor exposure, with IP67 and IP68 sealing ratings available depending on the series. Connector bodies are typically molded to the cable to reduce ingress paths, and cable jackets are commonly PVC or PUR for chemical and abrasion resistance. Current ratings vary by pin count and wire gauge, with 16 AWG and 22 AWG constructions covering 8 A and lower-current signal applications. 3G Electric supplies the Brad Harrison line globally, with stock including single-ended cordsets in 3, 4, 7, 9, and 12-pin configurations, straight and right-angle connectors, and cable lengths from 1 ft to 12 ft. The range supports sensor and actuator connections, valve manifold wiring, and I/O block interfacing. Technical buyers can specify by pin count, connector thread, cable length, jacket material, and IP rating. 3G Electric provides product data, cross-reference support, and logistics for international delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about BRAD HARRISON from 3G Electric.

What IP ratings are available in the Brad Harrison cordset line?

Brad Harrison cordsets are available with IP67 and IP68 ratings. IP67 indicates protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. IP68 indicates protection against continuous immersion under conditions specified by the manufacturer. The rating depends on the specific connector interface and cable construction. For washdown or outdoor applications, verify the IP rating of both the cordset and the mating receptacle.

What is the difference between single-ended and double-ended Brad Harrison cordsets?

Single-ended cordsets have a connector on one end and bare wire leads on the other, allowing termination into a junction box, terminal block, or I/O module. Double-ended cordsets have connectors on both ends, typically used to link a sensor or actuator directly to a distribution block or I/O port without field wiring. Both types are available in various pin counts, cable lengths, and connector styles.

Which Brad Harrison cordset should I use for a 1/2"-20 threaded sensor port?

For 1/2"-20 threaded ports, Brad Harrison offers cordsets with 1/2"-20 male or female connectors in straight and right-angle configurations. Pin counts include 3, 4, and 5, with 22 AWG wire and cable lengths from 6 ft to 12 ft. IP67 and IP68 ratings are available. Select the connector gender and angle based on the sensor port and routing space.

What wire gauges and current ratings are typical for Brad Harrison cordsets?

Brad Harrison cordsets are commonly supplied with 16 AWG or 22 AWG wire. 16 AWG constructions support higher current, such as 8 A maximum in 7-pin configurations. 22 AWG constructions are used for lower-current signal and control circuits, typically in 3, 4, or 5-pin cordsets. Always confirm the maximum current rating for the specific cordset model and application conditions.

Are Brad Harrison cordsets available with right-angle connectors?

Yes. Brad Harrison cordsets are available with straight and right-angle connectors in both male and female versions. Right-angle connectors are useful where space is limited or where cable routing must avoid obstructions. Common right-angle options include 1/2"-20 and 1"-16 thread sizes, with various pin counts and cable lengths.

What cable jacket materials are used in Brad Harrison cordsets?

Brad Harrison cordsets typically use PVC or PUR cable jackets. PVC is suitable for general industrial environments and offers good abrasion resistance. PUR is often chosen for applications requiring higher chemical resistance, flexibility at low temperatures, or resistance to oils and coolants. The jacket material is specified in the product data sheet for each cordset model.
