Q-718 is one of the four types of power entry connectors which are part of the catalog of Circular Connectors by Switchcraft, Inc. It comes under the category of “Inlets, Outlets, Modules”. The other three categories are: Receptacles, Plugs, and Panel Mount.

The Q-718 connector is designed for use in electrical panels and other industrial equipment. It offers a convenient way to power devices in enclosures where space is limited, and it is easy to install and maintain.

The Q-718 connector is a single-piece, heavy-duty, all-metal, in-line connector with a unique locking mechanism. It features two gold-plated, male blade contacts located in a 2-pin configuration. These contacts measure 6.35mm in length and are rated up to 16A at 120V, 250V, and 277V. The connector has a black finish and comes with a choice of several optional accessories such as dust caps, gasket seals, ground straps, and strain reliefs.

The Q-718 connector is designed to be simple and reliable. It has an easy-to-use double-action locking system that ensures snug, secure connections. This system also helps to ensure the safety of personnel from contact with the live contacts. The connector is rated for 16 A/250VAC according to UL and CSA standards and is certified for use in Europe (CE).

The Q-718 connector is used in a wide range of industrial applications such as commercial, industrial, and residential electrical systems. It can be found in industrial control panels, drives, and other equipment. Although it was originally designed for use with 120V power sources, it is also suitable for use with higher-voltage applications up to 277V.

The working principle of the Q-718 is quite simple. The two male contacts insert into a female contact with a twist-lock system. Once inserted, a locking tab is engaged to completely secure the connection. This eliminates the need for wires, nuts, or bolts for securing the connection, saving time and effort when powering up or taking down the equipment.

In summary, the Q-718 is a reliable, all-metal, in-line connector that is easy to install and maintain. It features a unique locking mechanism that ensures a secure connection and is suitable for use in both 120V and higher voltage applications. This makes it the perfect choice for use in industrial control panels, drives, and other equipment where space is limited.
