THE FIRST AND ONLY NEMA 4X RATED LINEOF METALLIC PLUGS & RECEPTACLES.

VersaMate® metallic pin & sleeve plugs & receptacles aredesigned for heavy duty industrial use. These devices sup-ply power to both fixed and portable electrical equipmentincluding pumps, generators, welders, vacuums, blowersand similar apparatus.Suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Applications include thewet, cold, hosedown, hazardous or corrosive areas in suchindustrial applications as:• Pulp & Paper Mills • Breweries• Electrical Power Plants • Refineries• Petrochemical Plants • Chemical Plants• Wastewater Treatment • Grain Facilities• Marine, Docks, Ports • Textile Manufacturing• Construction Sites • Food Processing Facilities

Standard Materials:Copper-free aluminum construction with electrostaticallyapplied epoxy/polyester finish. Contacts are brass with apatented beryllium copper spring tensioner. External screwsare 316 stainless steel.

Features:The VersaMate product line includes 30, 60, 100 and 200Amp plugs, receptacles and connectors with a full range ofback boxes. Popular options include reverse service andpolarization. The VersaMate line is FULLYINTERCHANGEABLE1 with UL1686 configured and listeddevices such as Crouse-Hinds® Arktite® or Appleton®Powertite®. Standard location receptacle bolt hole patternsmatch competitive back boxes so users can upgrade toVersaMate without changing back boxes in instances wherechanging the conduit system is difficult.

1VersaMate® components are UL classified and intermateable with other UL1686-C1 configured devices (when installed in accordance with instructionsfurnished with device). Assemblies containing components from other manu-facturers would have the NEMA type rating of the lowest rated device.

2See product pages for specific ratings.Arktite® is a registered trademark of Crouse-Hinds®.

Powertite® is a registered trademark of Appleton®.

Plugs:Octagonal style (Patented) for a firm and suregrip when connecting or disconnecting isfeatured on both plug and cable connectorbodies. Insulators have high mechanical anddielectric strength and “Low Arc Tracking.”Box terminals securely clamp around conduc-tors and do not contact or machine strands.Funneled conductor entry chambers lead all properly strippedconductors into terminals simultaneously. NEMA 4X ratingwhen inserted into VersaMate receptacle and locking ring istightened.

Receptacles:Exclusive Patented “Breech-Lock” capserves as either flip lid or screw cover.Receptacle is NEMA 3R with lid snappedshut or NEMA 4X with lid turned shut orwhen VersaMate plug is inserted and lockingring tightened. Patented notch in cap armholds cap open for easy plug insertion ormaintenance. Patented pin design uses slotted spring clip whichavoids excessive wear while providing continuous electrical pinto sleeve contact. VersaMate® receptacles use the same non-contact terminals and funnel design asVersaMate® plugs.

Cable Clamping Assembly:Plugs and cable connectors aresupplied with an exclusive neoprene“Onion Skin” peel-away type grom-met. The VersaRange® cable clampsystem captures cable with fourgrip points using only two tighten-ing screws. Clamp guide assembly provides a firm fit over awide range of cable diameters. Non-removable set screws pre-vent clamp guide assembly from backing out. Clamps havesmooth contoured shoulder design to prevent snags or damagewhen moving equipment.

Back Boxes:VersaMate back boxes come in a variety ofmounting styles. Exclusive “blind” recepta-cle mounting holes prevent moisture fromentering box via thread cavities. Boxescome with a green grounding screw.

Conventional screw typeterminals. Screws “machine”(grind or fray) conductor.Screws are not under tensionand more easily loosen fromheating and cooling cyclesor from vibration. Screws canfall out (and be lost) duringinitial shipment-requiresreassembly.

“Breech-Lock” design servesas both flip lid or screw coverstyle. Special notch in lid armholds cover open to ease pluginsertion or maintenance.

Conventional caps: usermust choose between fliplid's convenience or screwcover's better sealing capa-bilities. Broken chains canmean lost covers.

Exclusive "Onion Skin" style gas-ket assures a tight seal aroundcable. Skin layers are removedfrom a single gasket to adjustfor various cable diameters.

Multiple gaskets requiretrial & error sizing tobe sure of best fit andseal.

Versatile range Cable Clampsystem captures cable at fourgrip points using only twoscrews. Smooth contoureddesign avoids snags whenmoving equipment.

Standard clamps squeezeand pinch cable. Protrudingscrews snag or scratchwhen moving equipment.Other clamp systems withmultiple screws are difficultto tighten evenly.

REVERSE SERVICE: S39Add suffix S39 for factory ReverseService of receptacles, plugsor connectors. Receptacles orconnectors are assembled with pluginteriors while plugs are assembledwith receptacle interiors. For appli-cations where the plug is energized(i.e. from a generator) to feed anon-energized receptacle. Preventseasy contact with energizedexposed pins. This conversion canbe performed in the field with acomplementary plug & receptacle (30A to 100A devices).200A Amp devices with S39 are a factory-only option.Reverse Service is not for hazardous locations.

POLARIZED OPTION: S37Add suffix S37 for special polarity.Can prevent connection between mismatched voltages orfrequencies in areas where devices of the same amperage,poles and grounding style are used. Receptacle or connectorinteriors are rotated 22-1/2° to the right; plug is rotatedopposite to match. This is a factory only option.

Style IIn a Style I plug, the cable’s ground conductor is bondedto the plug housing by means of solderless connector. Thereceptacle is grounded by being part of a grounded conduitsystem. Upon insertion, detentsprings in the receptacle hous-ing contact and ground theplug housingbefore currentcarrying poles.All poles arecurrent carrying.

GROUNDING:To minimize the danger of electrical shock when utilizingportable equipment, the National Electrical Code requiresexposed metal parts be grounded if operated at more than150 volts to ground. The VersaMate® plug & receptaclesystem is available in two grounding styles. Please note StyleI and II devices cannot be intermated.

Style IIIn a Style II plug, the cable’s ground conductor is bondedto the extra grounding pole and to the plug housing via abonding jumper. The receptacle has a matching groundingpole connected to the system ground conductor which isfurther tied to the grounded conduit system via a bondingjumper. Upon insertion, detent springs in the receptaclehousing contact and ground theplug housing; then the extralong ground pole connectsbefore the currentcarrying polesengage. TheStyle II groundpole makes firstand breaks last.
