Phillips releases cable to combat corrosion

Updated May 1, 2012

PhillipsPhillips Industries has introduced the Sta-Dry QCMS2 plug/socket designed specifically to eliminate corrosion damage caused when road contaminants enter the electrical system of a heavy-duty vehicle, the company says.

According to Phillips, every feature of the QCMS2 is designed to reduce costs associated with corrosion build up. The Sta-Dry QCMS2 is said to incorporate a Sta-Dry seal that semi-hardwires the electrical cable to the tractor completely stopping any debris from entering. And since it is rarely removed from the tractor, Phillips says there is even less chance for damage.

The other end of the electrical cable features Phillips’ field repairable QCP plug. If the plug begins to show signs of corrosion, the company says the cartridge can be easily replaced, keeping the QCMS2 attached to the tractor without breaking its corrosion-free sealed connection.

The QCMS2 corrosion-free housing is sealed for maximum protection against magnesium and calcium chlorides. Phillips says a special bonding process connecting the housing to the cable seals out moisture and contaminants at the back of the QCMS2.  The brass pins are molded in place to provide a secure connection, the company says.
