 Couplers suitable for use in wet, muddy, dusty, high altitude, or underground environments

Features and Benefits


 Compatable with all other couplers of North American design using the three bolt connection system
 Lightweight cast aluminum body components that provide strength and coupler durability
 MCS manufactured strain relief entrance fitting, self centering, superior prevention of water ingress
 Individual machined phase insulators made of high dielectric polymer
 Non-corrosive stainless steel and brass hardware
 Powder coated body components (optional)
 Shielded couplers are more lightweight than others available on the market
 Silver plated contacts (optional)
 Multiple phase connection options including mechanical connection (set screw), compression connection, or
silver solder connection (see photo)
 Integrated Fibre-Optic capabilities (custom design)
