Hazardous Duty Plug and Receptacle

DXN Series
	The DXN is unique in that it is a hazardous duty plug and receptacle that allows users to make and break under load. It is the ideal plug and receptacle choice for Class I Div II locations.   The NEMA 4X and IP67 watertight seal for the DXN series is automatically achieved as soon as the contacts are closed. Each device is made of self extinguishing non-static glass reinforced polyester (PBT) material that offers outstanding resistance to mechanical abuse and chemicals. DXN products are available in 20, 30 and 60 amp sizes at 480V and for applications where additional control circuits are required, units are also available with two pilot contacts.
