Standard and Miniature Single Assembly
5-WAY® Binding Posts
5-WAY® Binding Posts have positive-stop captive
thumbnuts that allow space to make connections
yet reduce the likelihood of accidentally contacting
current carrying parts. They are available in red,
white, blue, yellow, black and green. BP31 fluted
nut types have insulating par ts of Lexan® polycar-
bonate resin which has a higher DC insulation re-
sistance at all operating temperatures and signifi-
cantly lower capacitance which provides greater
resistance to high frequency leakage effects. All
others have nylon plastic per MIL-P20693A, Type
IV. Current carrying parts are gold, nickel or tin
plated brass for improved conductivity and corro-
sion resistance. Metal par ts are recessed for user
and instrument protection and none touch the
mounting panel. All are av ailab le in single pac ks or
100-quantity bulk packs. They are Underwriters
Laboratories recognized components.

Custom Color Ring
5-WAY® Binding Posts
All cataloged Custom Color Ring Series types have
neutral gray plastic insulating parts. Single assem-
bly types have thumbnut-imbedded rings in red,
white, blue, yellow, black or green plastic while
double assembly types have thumbnut color rings
in black-red only. All are available with current car-
rying parts in gold, nickel or tin plated brass. BP31
Series fluted nut types have insulating parts molded
of Lexan polycarbonate resin which has a higher
DC insulation resistance at all operating tempera-
tures and significantly lower capacitance which pro-
vides greater resistance to high frequency leakage
effects. All others have nylon plastic per MIL-P-
20693A, Type IV. All types with “-10” in the suffix
have larger 10-32 studs f or making behind the panel
connections. Contingent upon minimum quantity
requirements, insulating part color can be custom-
ized. Inquiries are invited. Single assembly types
are available in single packs or 100-quantity bulk
packs; double assembly types are available in single
packs or 10-quantity bulk packs. They are Under-

SUPERCON®
Electrical Connectors
SUPERCON® Electrical Connectors incorporate
many advanced engineering features designed to
provide safe, rapid and positive panelboard con-
nections. Single conductor socket and pin type plugs
and receptacles are off ered in 25, 50, 100 and 250
Amp capacities.
The 25, 50 and 100 Amp types are rated 125-250
VA C or DC current interrupting, 600 V unenergiz ed
connect or disconnect use only; 250 Amp types are
rated 600 V unenergized connect or disconnect use
only. The 25, 50 and 100 Amp types are CSA certi-
fied under file No. LR-17812.
PLUGS - Plugs have a unique functionally designed
grip for handling ease and convenience. The var i-
ety of red, white, b lue, y ellow, black or g reen colors
permits wider latitude in patchboard distribution la y-
outs. Wiring connection to the same plug can be
either soldered or solderless. Cable fastening
screws are provided which permit a range of cable
sizes to be accommodated by the plug. All plug grips
are of a simple, two-piece threaded construction
for quick assembly.
RECEPTACLES - Receptacles have color-matched
nylon 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 on
both the front and back of the panel when installed.
Wiring connections are made to a threaded stud b y
wire wraparound, by lug or bus bar connection.
