Minneapolis— TURCK announces new 1”-16UN and 1-1/8”-16UN minifast ® explosion-proof feed-through receptacles that install directly into standard 3/4 inch conduit entries, without requiring additional conduit or poured seals. These quick-disconnect B-size (1 inch) and C-size (1-1/8 inch) receptacles provide an efficient solution to maintain the explosion-proof ratings of instrument housings and explosion-proof enclosures in Class I, Division 2 hazardous areas.

These receptacles are fully potted and withstand 6,000 psi of pressure in high quality 316 stainless steel housings. The 7 and 8-pole B-size and 9, 10 and 12-pole C-size connectors are keyed in a manner so that it is impossible to incorrectly mate the connectors. The connectors incorporated into these devices are compatible with TURCK’s FM approved cordsets, and provide NEMA 1, 3, 4, 6P and IEC IP68 protection against liquid ingress when a mating connector is attached.
