IEC Pin and Sleeve

IEC 60309 Pin and Sleeve electrical whip products are designed and manufactured to meet the International Standard IEC 60309-1 and IEC 60309-2. This device standard calls out a singly rated, non-interchangeable configuration for every voltage and type of service throughout the world. Pin and sleeve device housings are color coded by voltage rating. The voltage is determined by the location of the female ground contact relative to the housing keyway. Simply by manufacturing the device with a ground contact in a certain “clock” position, the device will be rated for a particular voltage system. The diagram shows the keying position and the color coding that is associated with each voltage.

NEMA

NEMA wiring devices are made in current ratings from 15 to 60 amperes (A), with voltage ratings from 125 to 600 volts (V). Different combinations of contact blade widths, shapes, orientation, and dimensions create non-interchangeable connectors that are unique for each combination of voltage, electric current carrying capacity, and grounding system. There are two basic classifications of NEMA devices: straight-blade and locking. Numbers prefixed by ‘L’ are curved-blade, twist-locking devices; others without a leading ‘L’ are straight blade and non-locking.

Russellstoll

Russellstoll (RS) Pin and Sleeve products have a proprietary pin pattern that is singly rated, non-interchangeable configuration for voltage and type of service to connect only to another Russellstoll device. The Russellstoll MaxGard product is a metal device while the Russellstoll DuraGard product is a thermoplastic device. Both types of devices are rated and polarized for specific voltages and amperages to prevent dangerous mismating of devices of different ratings.

Tray Cable

Tray Cable TC (Type TC) is defined by the National Electric Code as “a factory assembly of two or more insulated conductors, with or without associated bare or covered grounding conductors under a nonmetallic sheath, for installation in cable trays, in raceways, or where supported by a messenger wire and rated for 600 volts.” An extension to the tray rated cable, is an exposed run (ER) rating. Type TC-ER cable complies with the crush and impact requirements of metal-clad cable. It can be used when dropping out of cable tray to equipment or devices, and also where dropping from tray to tray. Section 336.10(7) of the 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC) is clear that cable with only a TC rating cannot be run unprotected outside a raceway or cable tray. The Type TC-ER cable can be used up to 50 feet past the cable tray without having additional armor or be held within a tray. Type TC-ER cable with IEC Pin and Sleeve, NEMA and Russellstoll devices are UL Listed available assemblies.

SOOW Cords

Portable electrical whip cord usually contains two or more flexible, stranded copper conductors, in gauge sizes from No. 18 AWG through No. 2 AWG. The copper stranding and types of compounds in the insulation and jacket dictate the flexibility and strength of the cord. The jacket and insulation are key to its physical, chemical, and electrical properties. UL and CSA designations for these cords are SOOW. Thermoset TYPE SOOW cord is for use in heavy-duty industrial applications where flexibility and durability is required. SOOW cord is resistant to cuts, tears, abrasions, and chemicals. SOOW’s best features are its temperature and oil-resistant properties which will not melt when in contact with heated objects or oils: up to 221 DEGRF (105 DEGRC). In temperatures as low as 40 DEGRF below zero, SOOW maintains its flexibility, durability, and resistance to cracking during normal handling. Type SOOW cord stands for: S = Service Cord (600 Volts) OO = Oil Resistant both inside insulation and outside jacket. W = CSA designation for weather/water resistance. SOOW cord with IEC Pin and Sleeve, NEMA and Russellstoll devices are UL Listed available assemblies.
