Minneapolis, Minn. - September 22, 2006 - TURCK introduces new 7/8-16UN minifast® explosion-proof feed-through receptacles. The two to six-wire receptacles provide a safe and efficient way to implement explosion-proof protection in Class I, Division 2 hazardous areas for all industries. The feed-through installs directly in standard conduit entries in explosion-proof enclosures without requiring a poured seal, conduit or extensive wiring. An incorporated minifast quick-disconnect eliminates field terminations and is compatible with TURCK’s FM-approved cordsets.
The feed-through is fully potted with a force-resistant compound tested to 9,000 psi, exceeding FM requirements by 50 percent. The high-quality, 316 stainless steel housing and keyed connector eliminate incorrect wiring and accomodate standard power in hazardous locations. These connectors provide NEMA 1, 3, 4, 6P and IEC IP 67 protection. TURCK is an industry leader providing superior quality sensing, connectivity and network products to help manufacturers improve their automated processes.
