Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SURE-SEAL CONNECTIONS from 3G Electric.
What wire sizes are compatible with Sure-Seal Connections circular connector contacts?
Sure-Seal Connections offers crimp contacts for wire sizes 18 to 14 AWG for standard Sure-Seal connectors. For higher current applications, the Power Sure-Seal contacts accommodate 10 AWG wire. Always verify the specific contact part number against the wire gauge to ensure proper crimp dimensions and current-carrying capacity.
What is the IP rating of Sure-Seal Connections circular connectors?
Sure-Seal Connections circular connectors, such as the SS-2 and SS-6 models, are rated IP67. This means they are dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This rating makes them suitable for use in wet or dusty industrial environments, including outdoor installations and washdown areas.
Are contacts included with Sure-Seal Connections connector bodies?
No, Sure-Seal Connections connector bodies are typically supplied without contacts. For example, the SS-2 flanged plug (MPN 120-8552-200) and the SS-6 plug (MPN 120-1842-000) are listed as 'Contacts Not Included.' Contacts must be ordered separately as loose items, such as the insulation support crimp contacts (MPN 030-2196-001 or 110238-0409).
What plating options are available for Sure-Seal Connections crimp contacts?
Sure-Seal Connections offers crimp contacts with tin, gold, or silver plating. Tin-plated contacts (e.g., MPN 030-2196-001) are suitable for general-purpose applications. Gold-plated contacts (e.g., MPN 110238-0409) provide corrosion resistance for environments with high humidity or chemical exposure. Silver-plated contacts (e.g., MPN 030-2244-002) are used for higher current ratings, such as the Power Sure-Seal 10 AWG contact rated at 85 A.
Which accessories are available for Sure-Seal Connections connectors?
Sure-Seal Connections offers several accessories, including boots (e.g., MPN 317-8657-002) for cable strain relief and sealing, reduction sleeves (e.g., MPN 252-1247-001) to adapt cable diameters, and Posi-Lock mounting clips (e.g., MPN 029-0262-000) for secure panel mounting.
