Find Meltric Plugs for General Industrial Use
Meltric products are well suited for use in almost any industrial environment.
- Dead front construction assures worker safety by eliminating the possibility of access to live parts.
- Switch ratings allow a mechanic to make and break electrical connections. Motors can be serviced without needing an electrician to perform hard wiring on site. Minimizes motor change-out related downtime costs.
- Silver-nickel contact material and stainless steel metal parts provide for exceptional resistance to corrosive environments.
- Butt-style pressure contacts provide constant pressure and performance over thousands of operations. The solid silver-nickel tips are unaffected by wear.

Application Spotlights
Motor Connections
Industrial motors on conveyors, pumps, fans, and compressors require periodic replacement or service. Meltric decontactors serve as both the disconnect switch and the plug/receptacle connection, allowing a mechanic to safely swap motors without an electrician performing hard wiring. This reduces motor changeout time from hours to minutes and eliminates the cost of a dedicated disconnect switch at each motor location.
Production Line Reconfiguration
Manufacturing facilities that frequently change production layouts benefit from plug-and-play Meltric connections at each equipment station. When a machine is moved or replaced, the operator disconnects and reconnects without modifying the facility wiring. Switch-rated operation ensures the connection is safely de-energized during the changeover, meeting NEC disconnecting means requirements at the equipment.
Welding & Fabrication
Welding machines, plasma cutters, and fabrication equipment are often shared across work cells. Meltric connectors provide rated connections that withstand the electrical demands of welding equipment while allowing safe relocation between stations. The PF/PFQ Series handles the higher ampacity requirements of large industrial welders.
