MENNEKES, AM-TOP IP67 Yellow Cable Mount 3P Industrial Power Plug, Rated At 16A, 110 V

Mennekes AM-TOP 16 Amp and 32 Amp IP67 Cable Mount Plugs

From Mennekes, the AM-TOP series of IP67 CEE industrial cable mount plugs are robust, reliable and easy to connect. Featuring open terminal screws all facing in the same direction the AM-TOP series of plugs are terminated quickly in the field. A rugged cable gland at the rear of the plug when tightened grips the cable and seals the gasket at the same time. Integral strain relief prevents cable kinking. Constructed from a heavy-duty Amaplast casing including nickel plated contacts with high heat resistant contact carriers supporting excellent corrosion resistance. Ergonomically designed the AM- TOP series of industrial BS4343 plugs perform exceptionally well in the most demanding environments.

What is Amaplast?

Amaplast is a superior quality, toughened thermoplastic material with excellent characteristics. Making them virtually unbreakable. The key points are;

• Abrasion resistant
• Self-extinguishing
• Heat resistant
• Resistant to cold temperatures
• Wear resistant
• Good electrical insulation

Environmental Protection – IP Rating

Mennekes AM-TOP industrial plugs are designed in accordance with BS EN 603529. The IP rating is composed of two numbers. The first number refers to protection from solid matter, the second number for protection against liquids. The higher the number the better the protection. See technical datasheets for full definitions.

Colour Coding

CEE connectors have an industry standard colour coding in compliance with BS EN 60309-2 / BS4343 and IEC 309 Colour coding refers to a connectors rated voltage.

• Violet, 20 V to 25 V
• White, 40 V to 50 V
• Yellow, 100 V to 130 V
• Blue, 200 V to 250 V
• Red. 380 V to 480 V
• Black, 500 V to 1000 V

Features and Benefits

• Rugged construction for added durability.
• Screw terminal connection. Open connection terminals all facing in the same direction enabling rapid wiring.
• Single part body.
• Cable gland and sealing. Tightening the cable gland activates the internal cable grip and automatically seals the gasket.
• Integrated cable strain relief, preventing the cable from kinking
• Highly heat resistant contact carrier with nickel plated contacts, supporting corrosion resistance and abrasion.

Applications

• Heavy Industry: Steel mills, foundries, where connections are exposed to dust and metallic particles.
• Food industry: Locations where washing down of equipment is imperative.
• Entertainment and sports: Connections on lighting and filming equipment exposed to rain, mud, and snow.
• Agriculture: Outdoor installation pumping on tractors and slurry trucks, pumps for animal feed.
• Ship yards and ports: Docks, piers and boat moorings. Connections exposed to rough seas and flooding.
• Construction sites: Outdoor sites, connectors left in damp conditions transformers and generators.

Mennekes AM-TOP IP44 and IP67

Plugs, sockets, appliance inlets and interlocked sockets conforming to the latest requirements of British and European standards. The insulator outer casing and interiors are manufactured from Amaplast (nylon 6) for excellent mechanical performance from -25°C to +55°C. This material provides good electrical insulation and will meet the requirements of most industrial environments.,Contact tubes and pins are made of brass. To prevent incorrect connection, the earth contact is in a different position, relative to the safety key way on each socket outlet, for each voltage. All types are colour coded by voltage and are suitable for 50/60Hz operation.,Products are type tested to VDE.
