Standard and Miniature Single Assembly5-WAY® Binding Posts

5-WAY® Binding Posts have positive-stop captivethumbnuts that allow space to make connectionsyet reduce the likelihood of accidentally contactingcurrent carrying parts. They are available in red,white, blue, yellow, black and green. BP31 flutednut types have insulating parts of Lexan® polycar-bonate resin which has a higher DC insulation re-sistance at all operating temperatures and signifi-cantly lower capacitance which provides greaterresistance to high frequency leakage effects. Allothers have nylon plastic per MIL-P20693A, TypeIV. Current carrying parts are gold, nickel or tin

plated brass for improved conductivity and corro-sion resistance. Metal parts are recessed for userand instrument protection and none touch themounting panel. All are available in single packs or100-quantity bulk packs. They are UnderwritersLaboratories recognized components.

The 25, 50 and 100 Amp types are rated 125-250VAC or DC current interrupting, 600 V unenergizedconnect or disconnect use only; 250 Amp types arerated 600 V unenergized connect or disconnect useonly. The 25, 50 and 100 Amp types are CSA certi-fied under file No. LR-17812.

PLUGS - Plugs have a unique functionally designedgrip for handling ease and convenience. The vari-ety of red, white, blue, yellow, black or green colors

permits wider latitude in patchboard distribution lay-outs. Wiring connection to the same plug can beeither soldered or solderless. Cable fasteningscrews are provided which permit a range of cablesizes to be accommodated by the plug. All plug gripsare of a simple, two-piece threaded constructionfor quick assembly.

RECEPTACLES - Receptacles have color-matchednylon caps and bodies. All plastic parts of a recep-tacle are molded through in the same color to per-mit more rapid and accurate circuit identification onboth the front and back of the panel when installed.Wiring connections are made to a threaded stud bywire wraparound, by lug or bus bar connection.
