Parker Research MA-7EC Either End Connector with Wire Nut
The Parker Research MA-7EC Either End Connector with Wire Nut is a specialized, heavy-duty cable connector designed for use with Parker Research's DA-750 and DA-1500 portable magnetic inspection units. This robust connector facilitates the secure and efficient attachment of standard 4/0 (four-aught) gauge cables, which are commonly used to carry the high current required for Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI).
The "Either End Connector" designation highlights its versatility in connecting cables to the MPI unit, providing flexibility in setting up the magnetic circuit for various inspection geometries, particularly when inducing longitudinal magnetization in parts. The "Wire Nut" refers to its secure, twist-on termination mechanism that ensures a reliable electrical connection for the heavy gauge cable.
Key Features & Benefits:
