Altech Corporation, a leader in industrial automation solutions, has added 60A plugs and sockets to its family of IEC 60309 Series II pin and sleeve devices. As AI, IoT and other technologies push the power delivery limits of pin and sleeve connector technology in data centers and other demanding equipment, Altech’s IEC 60309 Series II 60A pin and sleeve products ensure safety, reliability and continuous uptime and comply with UL 1682.

The series is characterized by its rugged polyamide (PA6) housing. Not only is this material highly impact-resistant, but it also resists the carbonization that otherwise causes conductive paths and provides the wiring devices with exceptional anti-tracking properties. Other important safety features include color coding and keyed alignment to ensure dangerous mismates do not occur. Additional highlights of the product family include:

• Error-free connections. IEC 60309 Series II 60A pin and sleeve devices are color coded to voltage and frequency, and include external keyways and a large ground pin.
• Ingress protection. The units are IP67 rated to prevent water and dust incursion.
•  Plugs come with a patented strain relief and seal. The plugs feature a patented strain relief and self-adjusting seal that fits any cable diameter.
•  Socket features. The sockets feature a captive cable gland nut that stays in place and allows for easier assembly, a spring-loaded hinged lid with locking ring, and a rubber gasket.
•  Broad selection. The series comes in a wide range of plug and connector styles.
•  High quality. IEC 60309 Series II 60A pin and sleeve devices are proudly made in Austria.

In addition to their long list of features, Altech IEC 60309 Series II 60A pin and sleeve plugs and sockets are quick and easy to install and maintain, reducing downtime and rework.
