Hubbell TwistLock EdgeConnect Technology
Featured Product from Heilind Electronics, Inc.
Hubbell’s Twist-Lock® Devices with Screwless Terminations Deliver Faster, Safer, and More Reliable Power Connections. Hubbell Wiring Device-Kellem’s wide breadth of products operate in demanding environments where power reliability, installation speed, and long-term performance are critical.
Hubbell's Twist-Lock® EdgeConnect™ products are advanced electrical devices designed for rapid and reliable installations in industrial and commercial settings. By integrating patented EdgeConnect™ screwless termination technology, these devices significantly reduce installation time—up to 80% faster compared to traditional methods—by eliminating the need for manual screw tightening.
Why Screwless Terminations? Traditional screw terminations rely on manual torque settings, which can lead to inconsistent connections. Over time, thermal cycling and vibration from IT equipment can cause screws to loosen, increasing the risk of power failure. Hubbell’s screwless technology eliminates these challenges by providing:
- Spring Pressure Termination – Ensures a secure, gas-tight electrical connection without the need for tools or torque adjustments.
- Faster Installation – Reduces labor time by up to 50%, allowing for quick deployment of power infrastructure in new or expanding data centers.
- Vibration & Thermal Cycling Resistance – Maintains strong connections even in high-performance computing environments with fluctuating loads.
- Compact, High-Density Design – Ideal for power distribution in confined server racks and PDU configurations.
- Reduced Maintenance – Eliminates periodic torque checks, minimizing downtime and operational disruptions.
Key Features:
- Screwless Termination: Utilizing robust steel springs, EdgeConnect™ technology maintains consistent pressure on wires, ensuring secure and durable connections without the need for screws.
- Enhanced Performance: These devices are engineered to withstand high-vibration environments, with terminations that hold wires tighter when subjected to vibration and temperature cycling, thereby reducing the risk of unscheduled downtime.
- Safety Improvements: The design features no exposed screw terminals, minimizing the risk of electrical shock during installation and maintenance.
Product Range:
- Receptacles: Available in 3-, 4-, and 5-wire configurations, these receptacles fit standard depth boxes, making them versatile for various installations.
- Plugs and Connectors: Cord-mounted plugs feature funneled wire entry to guide conductor strands and molded leverage points for easy unwiring.
- Flanged Inlets and Receptacles: Designed for easy termination access at the back, with laser-etched terminal markings for clear identification, these are available in multiple configurations and colors.
Hubbell’s Twist-Lock® Devices with Screwless Terminations are available in 20A, 30A configurations for 125V, 250V, and 277/480V applications. They are UL Listed and CSA Certified, ensuring compliance with mission-critical power applications. Built with a high-impact, industrial-grade thermoplastic housing, these devices are designed for durability in 24/7 data center operations. Their performance exceeds industry standards for current-carrying capacity, insulation resistance, and environmental durability, making them a reliable choice for high-density power distribution.
Engineers are seeking reliable and efficient electrical connection solutions that support future scalability. Hubbell’s Twist-Lock® with Screwless Terminations delivers a smarter approach to power connections, ensuring uptime and operational continuity across a wide range of industries.
