NM01MA725231

The Parker Research MA-72523-1 Either End Connector w/Crimp is a specialized, heavy-duty electrical connector designed for use with Parker Research's portable magnetic inspection (MPI) units. It is a critical component for establishing the magnetic circuit required for effective magnetic particle testing, particularly when inducing longitudinal magnetization in parts using high-amperage cables.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Dedicated for Parker Research MPI Units: This connector is specifically designed for seamless integration with Parker Research's high-amperage portable magnetic inspection units, such as the DA-750 and DA-1500. It ensures optimal performance and compatibility within these systems.

• "Either End" Versatility: The "Either End Connector" designation highlights its flexibility. It can be used to terminate either end of the heavy-gauge cables (typically 4/0 gauge) that connect to the MPI unit, allowing inspectors to adapt their magnetic particle setup to various part shapes and sizes for efficient magnetization.

• Crimp Connection: This connector is designed for crimp termination. This method provides a highly secure, low-resistance electrical connection and a robust mechanical bond between the connector and the heavy-gauge cable. Crimping typically requires a specialized crimping tool to ensure proper and safe attachment, which is vital for handling the high currents generated by MPI units.

• Heavy-Duty Cable Compatibility: It is engineered to accommodate standard 4/0 (four-aught) gauge cables, which are robust enough to carry the high amperage outputs (750 to 1500 amps) of the DA series units.

• Durable Construction: Built with rugged materials (typically heavy-duty metal conductors and robust insulating material) to withstand the demanding conditions of industrial NDT environments, ensuring longevity and consistent electrical performance.

• Essential MPI Accessory: A critical accessory for magnetic particle inspection setups using high-amp portable power packs, enabling effective detection of surface and sub-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials.
