TPC Wire & Cable Corp., a leading supplier of wire, cable, connectors and assemblies has introduced a new product to its Thermo-Trex family of cables.

Thermo-Trex 500-Plus 12 AWG Cord Sets are designed with a tear-resistant silicone jacket and fully-bonded silicone head providing an IP68-rated seal against moisture. It is an ideal choice for applications where electrical connections are exposed to high temperatures up to 180°C, UV light, chemicals, moisture, dust and mechanical abuse.

The Thermo-Trex 500-Plus 12 AWG Cord Sets work well in industrial environments such as steel, wood, pulp and paper, oil and gas, transportation and food processing which can be unusually abusive. The product was designed to include extra long grounding pins to ensure first-in, last-out contact for safety, as well as stainless steel knurled coupling rings and a retaining washer that resists corrosion, and provides quick and secure assembly.

The solid brass contact pins are nickel-coated and gold-plated for longer life, corrosion resistance and easier positive engagement. TPC Wire & Cable’s customers will benefit from its excellent low voltage, low level signal applications for use in conveyors, pumps, motor operated valves, kiln fans and hood lighting.
“The true benefit of our Thermo-Trex 500-Plus 12 AWG Cord Sets is the fully-bonded IP68-rated seal when paired with the Thermo-Trex 500-Plus Cable,” said Bill Root, product manager. “The combination provides ultimate electrical connection protection from dust and water ingress.”
