Corrosion Resistant Power Connectors for Chemical Plants

Chemical plants are hard on metal parts, and a corroded connector can turn a simple motor change into a much bigger job. AP Technology supplies corrosion resistant power connectors in 316L grade stainless steel for motors and drives working in aggressive surroundings. Typical uses include dosing, mixing, pumping and process handling equipment. As ever with chemical duties, it pays to share the actual substances and concentrations involved, so that seals and cable sheath can be reviewed alongside the connector body. Choice comes down to the job. The 923 series M23 is UL listed and VDE approved, offered in eight body styles for cable and panel mounting, with ratings up to 200A on the single contact version. The 940 series M40 steps up to 75A on 6, 8 and 9 pole inserts with a clamping range of Ø7 to Ø25mm. The 958 series M58 is an 8 pole design rated at 150A/12A, with a clamping range of Ø17 to Ø36mm. For especially harsh and aggressive conditions, such as chemical and food processing, the M23 316L range swaps brass for 1.4404 grade stainless steel.

It is offered in 6, 8 and 9 contact arrangements rated up to 30A, with crimp or solder contacts and a threaded coupling. AP Technology holds an in-depth UK stock profile of M17, M23, M40 and M58 connectors, so most requirements do not start with a long wait. Based in Hayes with stock held in the UK, AP Technology ships to manufacturers, subcontractors, installers and resellers worldwide. The company is ISO 9001 quality accredited and works from design, sourcing and manufacture through to delivery, so one technical sales team can look after a project from the first question to the final consignment.
