Overview

The Meltric DS200 Receptacle (SKU: 37-24077-843-4X) is a rugged, industrial-grade power connection solution designed for heavy-duty applications requiring reliable, high-current electrical distribution. This Size 6 receptacle supports 200A at 125/250VAC, 60Hz, delivering consistent power for demanding machinery in construction, manufacturing, and outdoor environments. The metal blue housing is constructed from durable materials to withstand harsh conditions, while the Type 4X rating ensures superior protection against dust, water, and corrosion—ideal for washdown areas, outdoor installations, and industrial sites where ingress resistance is critical. The 3P+N+G pole configuration (3 poles, neutral, and ground) provides balanced power distribution and safety compliance for three-phase systems. A padlock pawl mechanism locks the plug in place, preventing accidental disconnections that could disrupt operations or pose safety hazards. This receptacle meets NEMA Type 4X and IP Type 4X standards, confirming its suitability for wet locations and challenging industrial settings. Compatible with standard Size 6 plugs, the DS200 simplifies power management in facilities requiring frequent equipment changes or temporary power setups. Manufactured in the US, this receptacle is built to rigorous performance standards for long-term reliability in power-intensive applications.
