A new line of IEC 60309 Cable Assemblies has been introduced, built for industrial environments where safety, durability, and reliability are critical. These assemblies are ideal for applications requiring frequent connection and disconnection, including data centers—providing power to rack systems; food and beverage processing—supplying power drops for washdown equipment; marine operations—delivering power to refrigerated containers; and heavy equipment manufacturing.
Each power cord assembly features a heavy-duty pin and sleeve connector with robust construction and self-cleaning, calibrated contacts designed to maintain consistent electrical connections and minimize resistance over time.
“These assemblies are about making everyday power connections safer and more dependable in high-use environments,” said Andrew Smith, Product Manager at Amphenol TPC. “We designed them to meet the real-world needs of our customers who can’t afford failure in the field.”
