The
durability of Meltric plugs, receptacles and connectors exceeds that
of competitive
pin and sleeve devices. Features that contribute to
long
product life
include:
|
• Solid silver-nickel
contact tips which offer low contact
resistance and high wear resistance
The conductivity of
silver-nickel is 20 times higher than the brass
material used in competitive products.
|
|
|
|
• Spring loaded butt-style
contact design consistently performs after
thousands of operations
Competitive pin and
sleeve contacts wear easily, reducing beneficial
contact pressure. |
|
|
|
• Automatic
watertightness upon insertion of DS and
DSN plug into receptacle
Competitive devices
require careful tightening of
an additional ring. |
|
|
|
• Impact
resistant materials are not susceptible to rust. All products
resist UV exposure, saline environments
and offer exceptional resistance
to many common chemical agents.
Competitor's
contacts are made of brass which is susceptible
to corrosive environments.
|
|
|
|
• "Tighten
and forget" screw terminals provide resistance
to vibrations, shock, and thermal cycling.
Competitor's products
often fail due to the loosening of the screw terminals.
