The standard plug for most applications. Like all of the plugs, it mates to any of the receptacles. This plug is molded to cable at the Cooper Interconnect factory.
Burton® 5500 Series connectors have no O-Ring seal between the plug and receptacle. Our seal is a face-type seal integrally molded as part of the plug and cannot fall off. Stub acme threads are used on the 16-size and larger shells.
Stub acme threads are difficult to cross thread or damage. The electrical contacts have crimp connections to the conductor; not solder joints. Crimp contacts have superior flex life compared to soldered joints.
All elastomer to metal bonding surfaces are sandblasted, cleaned, and primed. Then units are molded under several thousand pounds of pressure for 20 minutes at high temperature. This assures a complete bond which prevents water migration.
