How The Acceptor® System Works...

ACCEPTOR® receptacles contain an integral switch which must be closed to energize the circuit.  The design permits only an approved plug to be energized.  To actuate the switch, the plug must be inserted and rotated clockwise approximately 45 degrees.  The plug will lock into this position preventing accidental disengagement.  To remove, simply turn the plug counterclockwise and pull straight out.

Plugs and receptacles may be used where interchangeable bladed devices are needed in locations made hazardous by the presence of flammable gases or vapors, combustible dusts or easily ignitable fibers and flyings.

Plugs can serve to provide power for portable equipment used in both hazardous and non-hazardous areas.

Applications include:

• Petroleum Refineries
• Chemical Plants
• Wet/Damp Areas
• Corrosive Environments
• Grain Elevators
• Indoor or Outdoor Locations

What are strain reliefs?

What are cable glands?

What are cord grips?

To start, strain reliefs are also known as cable glands which are also known as cord grips. Did that clear things up?

Basically all of these produts provide extra protection to the power cord, sometimes liquid tight, by protecting the cord from coming into contact with sharp edges and overbending. They reinforce the cord connection to your equipment and extend cord life.

To figure out which strain relief (cable gland, cord grip) you need start with the material. Generally the popular ones are nylon and nickel plated brass.

Next you'll need to figure out the style of cable gland (strain relief, cord grip) you need in your application. Dome style are the most common and are used to protect the wire entering the equipment. Flex style offer flexible bend protection to the cord entering the equipment.

You'll also need the thread type and size as well as any body style options you may want (right angle, mini, multi-cable entry).

The bottom line is we can help you find the best strain relief/cable gland/cord grip for your application.

We carry the top brands of Mencom, Iboco, Conta-Clip, Pflitsch, Killark and many others.
