Revolutionizing Power Connectivity: Exploring Straight Blade EdgeConnect™ Technology by Hubbell Wiring Device-Kellems

8/9/2023

EdgeConnect™ Technology:

The innovative EdgeConnect™ plunger and spring technology redefines simplicity in installation. By effortlessly inserting strip wires to press the plungers, termination becomes a seamless process. Enhanced by strategically molded leverage points for quick termination releases, future change-outs are hassle-free. Not only does EdgeConnect™ ensure a highly secure connection, but it also eliminates concerns of strand relaxation over time that could be attributable to thermal cycling, vibrations, and mishandling. With its quick installation capabilities, this technology paves the way for significant cost reductions.

Straight Blade

Straight blade plugs and connectors serve as the primary method for supplying power to the devices that are integral to our daily lives. Hubbell provides a diverse range of duplex receptacles featuring EdgeConnect technology. These receptacles are available across various categories, including hospital, industrial, and commercial grade. Hubbell Wiring has configurations available in 15A 125V and 20A 125V to fit with any project you may have.
