Cooper Wiring Devices Offers Arrow Hart Solutions for
Complex Environments
Devices deliver superior performance for the harshest industrial environments
PEACHTREE CITY, GA., August 5, 2009 – Cooper Wiring Devices, a division of Cooper Industries,
offers an extensive line of Arrow Hart devices designed to stand up to harsh industrial applications.
These innovative devices excel in complex corrosive environments, which often contain dangerous
contaminants that attack device integrity.
The Arrow Hart® line of complex environment devices from Cooper Wiring Devices consists of a wide
range of plugs, connectors, receptacles and accessories, including watertight devices, severe duty
insulated devices, and corrosion-resistant devices. The comprehensive set of accessories is designed
to complement the unique performance characteristics of these products.
Watertight devices provide safe and reliable watertight connections, ideal for use in wet locations and
hose-down areas. They are designed specifically for industrial applications in which electrical
connections are exposed to splashing and hose-down operations. With excellent resistance to physical
abuse, they’re equally at home in applications where dirt or other corrosive elements may be a factor.
Severe Duty Insulated devices are designed specifically for industrial applications where electrical
connections are exposed to dust, dirt, corrosive elements and physical abuse. The devices deliver
superior protection and resistance to metal chips, foreign particles, corrosion, airborne contaminants,
UV exposure and ozone attack.
Corrosion Resistant devices are designed for industrial applications in environments where moisture
and humidity create problems for electrical connections. Nickel-plated contacts, terminals, blades and
straps deliver enhanced corrosion resistance while producing top grade electrical performance.
