\u2022 Pin and sleeve design: solid brass pressure wire terminal contacts with beryllium copper springs
\n\u2014 Energized contacts deeply recessed to reduce danger of accidental touching, minimize possibility of exposed arcs. Insulator quenches arcing, and is resistant to abnormal heat and
\nto fire.
\n\u2014 Plug mechanical cable clamps provide strain relief conductor connections, allow easy cable replacement.
\n\u2014 Pressure wire terminals allow cable to be readily replaced when necessary. Terminal screws grip conductors firm.
\n\u2014 Plug\u2014Equipment grounding conductor is wired directly to solderless lug which is connected to the plug housing with a pressure connector. All terminals are \u201ccurrent carrying\u201d.
\n\u2014 Receptacle\u2014Two detent spring clips engage the grounded plug housing on plug insertion\u2014grounded plug shell makes contact with receptacle ground spring before line and load poles are engaged.
\nGrounding path is maintained until after current-carrying contacts disengage. All terminals are \u201ccurrent carrying\u201d.
\n\u2014 Plug\u2014Equipment grounding conductor is not only connected to the solderless lug in the plug housing, but also to an extra grounding pole. Grounding pole has copper alloy grounding jumper strap that
\nconnects to plug housing.
\n\u2014 Receptacle\u2014Two detent spring clips engage grounded plug housing on plug insertion. Jumper from extra grounding pole is electrically connected to a screw on receptacle housing. Longer grounding
\npole \u201cmakes first and breaks last\u201d<\/p>\n
