Meltric DS Series Decontactor
Meltric 33-64045 DS60 Female Receptacle, 277V AC, 60A, 1 Pole + Neutral + Ground
Shipping: Ground shipping only.
The Meltric 33-64045 DS60 female receptacle provides a 277V AC, 60A industrial power connection with one pole, neutral, and ground. Its branch circuit and motor circuit disconnect switching capability combines connection and switching functions in the DS60 Decontactor design. The blue fiberglass-reinforced thermoplastic polyamide housing resists impact, ultraviolet exposure, and corrosion for demanding industrial environments.
Industrial Power Connection and Disconnect Switching
Part of the Meltric Decontactor series, the DS60 combines a power connection with disconnect switching functionality. The push-button quick-break mechanism opens the circuit and releases the mating plug, while the enclosed arc chamber contains arcing at the contacts during disconnection. Use the 33-64045 receptacle with the corresponding male inlet and an angle adapter as part of a complete assembly. The corresponding male inlet and compatible angle adapters are linked below this description.
The safety shutter closes over the receptacle contacts before the plug is removed, restricting access to energized components. Inserting the compatible plug opens the shutter. These features support controlled connection and disconnection in industrial equipment installations.
Construction and Environmental Performance
The fiberglass-reinforced thermoplastic polyamide housing provides corrosion resistance and withstands impact and UV exposure. The receptacle has an IK09 impact rating and an operating temperature range of −40°F to 140°F (−40°C to 60°C). Its closed dimensions are 4.99 inches high by 4.55 inches deep.
The Type 4X watertight rating and IP66/IP67 ingress protection ratings are relevant when selecting a power connection for environments exposed to water and dust. Review the DS Series user manual for assembly requirements and the conditions needed to maintain the environmental ratings.
Features and Benefits
- Safety shutter: Covers the receptacle contacts before plug removal and opens when the compatible plug is inserted.
- Spring-loaded contacts: Maintain contact pressure while accommodating construction variations and wear.
- Push-button quick-break mechanism: Opens the circuit and releases the plug for disconnection.
- Enclosed arc chamber: Contains contact arcing within the enclosure during switching.
- Spring-assisted screw terminals: A spring ring maintains pressure on the terminal screw and conductor to support a secure wiring connection.
Application and Selection Notes
Select the Meltric 33-64045 when the application requires a 277V AC, 60A female receptacle with one pole, neutral, and ground. It has a 7.5 hp motor rating. Check the applicable motor rating against the equipment requirements and confirm compatibility with the corresponding male inlet before specifying the assembly.
Installation Planning
- Confirm conductor size is within the 10–2 AWG terminal capacity.
- Allow adequate space for the closed receptacle dimensions, mating connector, and operating access.
- Review the user manual for wiring, terminal tightening, assembly, and operating instructions.
- Check the manual's requirements for applying the 100 kA close-and-withstand short-circuit rating.
