Switch Rated Plugs & Receptacles

In the early 1950’s Gilles Marechal witnessed an industrial accident that occurred when a defective motor was plugged in. The seriousness of the accident caused Mr. Marechal to embark on a mission to develop an industrial duty plug and receptacle that would eliminate the hazards posed by ordinary pin and sleeve devices.

The result was the establishment of the Marechal Corporation and the creation of a safety focused product line that is now manufactured and sold in North America by the Meltric Corporation.

Meltric Corporation’s complete line of industrial duty plugs and receptacles (including the world’s only UL and CSA switch rated plugs and receptacles) are manufactured in a state of the art facility in Franklin, Wisconsin. Corporate headquarters are located under the same roof as the manufacturing facility to allow efficient communication and coordination between customer service, engineering and manufacturing. This helps us ship 95% of all orders in less than 24 hours!

The product offering includes:

  • Decontactor Series plug and receptacle and disconnect switch in the same device
  • Hazardous duty plug and receptacle to make and break under load
  • Plugs and receptacles for use in high amperage applications
  • High and low ampacity multipin devices for power and control applications
  • Portable Power distribution packages
Meltric's Decontactor Series combination plugs and receptacles

Choose the DSN for it’s NEMA 4X watertight rating, it’s compact size and it’s lightweight design.

DSN casings are made of fiberglass reinforced thermoplastic polyester which provides resistance to shock, chemicals and UV rays. Plugs and receptacles are available for applications up to 60 amps and 600 volts.

Choose the DS for it’s rugged, heavy-duty construction and/or it’s high amp range (100 amps at 600 volts, or 200 amps at 480 volts).

Depending on the model DS casings are made of coated zinc aluminum alloy or fiberglass reinforced thermoplastic polyester. The standard DS has a NEMA 3R watertight rating.

Choose the DB for it’s high horsepower range (up to 60 hp), it’s IP67 rating, it’s rugged construction, and it’s arc blowing system and internal spring loaded switch operator. DB’s were designed specifically for the harsh duty of handling inductive loads and have casings that are made of epoxy coated zinc aluminum alloy.

Meltric's hazardous duty plugs and receptacles

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.

Meltric’s DX Series plugs and receptacles are heavy-duty metallic devices that are safe for use in hazardous environments. They are available in 20, 30, 60 and 100A sizes. Each device is EEx ed IIC T6 rated to CENELEC standards EN50014/18/19 Zones 1, 2, and 21. DX’s have additionally been tested and approved by ETL for operation under load in a gaseous environment (14.5% acetylene). This is a key performance test required for Class 1, Division 1 products.

Meltric's high ampacity plugs and receptacles

PF and PFQ plugs and receptacles are engineered for use in high amperage applications where routine plug insertion and high reliability are required.

All PF and PFQ devices feature epoxy coated aluminum casings, silver contacts, IP67 environmental ratings, mechanical locking and integral pilot contacts. The epoxy coated aluminum casings provide excellent durability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions. The silver contacts ensure maximum conductivity and resistance to oxidation and corrosion. The contacts are pressure loaded to provide consistent contact force and operate with a lateral wiping motion, which provides a self-cleaning action that improves performance in dusty and dirty conditions.

The mechanical locking feature ensures watertightness, prevents accidental disconnection and also controls the pilot contacts. This interlocking of the pilot contacts with the mechanical lock helps to ensure user safety by preventing the pilot contacts from closing before the phase contacts are securely connected and by ensuring that they open before the phase contacts.

Meltric's Multipin plugs and receptacles

High and low ampacity multipin devices are used in power
and control applications. Products range from 5A up to 100A and include load making and breaking capacity. Contact tips are made of silver nickel and casings materials consist of reinforced polyester, epoxy coated metal or stainless steel depending on model type and size. Products are available with as many as 37 or as few as 2 contacts.

The PN multipin plugs and receptacles are ideal for compact applications, in robotics, machine tools,
and food processing.

DSN multipins are designed for frequent low ampacity connecting and disconnecting applications.

DN connectors are designed for those difficult environments where there is a need for frequent high ampacity connecting and disconnecting.

The DS7 and DR7 products are made for the same environment as DN7 with the ability to add up to 3 pilot contacts.
