Color-Keyed® KUBE® Connectors Motor Lead Disconnects
The No-Hassle Solution for Quick Disconnects — Now Available for Wire Ranges 4/0 AWG to 500 kcmil!
If you've ever had to cut through a mass of sticky, melted insulating tape to get to bolted connections to change out an electric motor, you'll appreciate the convenience of the new Color-Keyed® KUBE® Connectors Motor Lead Disconnects.
Simply crimp the male and female disconnects onto your wires, plug them together, slide on the insulating boot, and secure it in place with two cable ties (supplied). When the time comes to disconnect, simply snip the cable ties, slip off the boot, and unplug. It's that easy!
- Quick change out of electric motors — no bolting, taping, or loose connections
- Perfect for 600V applications
- Low-profile, snap-together assembly fits easily into tight motor housings
- Meet or exceed electrical and mechanical performance of bolted connections
