Overview

The TE Connectivity Y12345-000 ALR SC Shorting Cap is a purpose-built component for outdoor street and area lighting systems, engineered to maintain circuit continuity and protect NEMA twist-lock receptacles in luminaires. This shorting cap features a clear, high-impact polypropylene housing (ANSI Series) or UV-stabilized polycarbonate (SC-10A Series) with a 73 mm (2.87 in) diameter, ensuring compatibility with standard street lighting fixtures. The sealable mounting design provides IP54-rated protection against moisture, dust, and environmental ingress, critical for long-term reliability in outdoor applications ranging from roadway lighting to commercial parking lots and car dealerships. Operating within a 120–480 VAC range with a maximum current rating of 15 A, the ALR SC shorting cap is ANSI C136.10 compliant and designed for harsh conditions, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +65°C at 96% relative humidity. The three-pole locking-type connection uses solid brass legs for secure electrical termination, while the cross-linked polyethylene gasket ensures a weatherproof seal. The distinct cap shape improves visual distinction from standard photo controls, reducing installation errors. This shorting cap is essential for maintaining circuit integrity during fixture removal or maintenance, preventing open-circuit hazards in municipal and commercial lighting networks. Its durable construction and straightforward design minimize maintenance requirements while extending service life in demanding outdoor environments. The clear housing allows for visual inspection of connections without disassembly, and the optional 545 Joule MOV surge protection (ALR-MC-10 series) safeguards LED luminaires against transient line surges. Ideal for street lighting infrastructure, the TE Connectivity ALR SC Shorting Cap ensures safe, continuous operation and simplified system management.
