2 19 Arktite Interlocked Receptacles .. 20 Arktite Plugs, Receptacles, and ConnectorsTHE Arktite ADVANTAGEC ooper Crouse-Hinds invented the North Americanpin and sleeve design over 75 years ago and it is still the predominate product of choice in theindustrial marketplace Arktite name was selected to convey ourinnovative arc-snuffing design that enabled largepower loads to be disconnected under load withoutcausing an arc flash in the area. This was a particularlyimportant objective in the petroleum, petrochemical,and mining industries in the early 1900 many have tried to copy our field-proven,reliable designs over the years, there is no substitutefor a genuine Cooper Crouse-Hinds Arktite pin and sleeve device.

3 Many design improvements have been introduced since our original design. Each time, Cooper Crouse-Hinds has taken specialcare to ensure the new models would still intermateand perform properly with previous models. If you have an Arktite product that needs a mate, you can rest assure that today s model will fit andoperate in any Arktite a century of standard-setting experience to work for more than a century, companies have come to rely on Cooper Crouse-Hinds for value they cantrust to grow their business. By integrating acomprehensive line of reliable electrical productswith expert support, industry insights, and localavailability, we enhance safety and productivity in the most demanding industrial and commercialenvironments worldwide.
