These connectors are vastly superior to the cheap and nasty offerings from the average trap manufacturer.
You spend many hundreds in folding currency on a finely crafted piece of target throwing apparatus and throw it all away for the cost of a decent connector?

Once mated, these connectors cannot be pulled apart accidentally. or, put another way, they are 'quad bike proof'.

It is a well known fact that in any electrical system, the connectors are the weakest point.

Water and even low voltage electricity do not mix, neither do the metal parts of the offending wet connector. Electrolysis eats the metalwork away when voltage is present and creates its own electricity when it is not. What you get is an expensive wet cell battery... for a little while, at least.

It is quite common to have an annual connector replacement policy to replace the cheap connectors.
A pound connector changed every year for another pound and 2 pounds of man hours to do it and a week chasing all the faults put on by loose screws and wrong terminations is hardly good financial planning.

Domestic mains connectors (and I've seen the lot used on grounds) are simply not designed for wet weather, outdoor use. From IEC 'kettle' type connectors to American 'Hubble' connectors, even the popular flat 3 pin effort, are all useless in the wet. They pull apart if you stand on them and then instantly fill up with abrasive mud which is then rammed into the guts of the connector by the next person to use it.

If these Submersible connectors save you the cost of an annual connector cull even once... you are ahead of the game.
Any trap that is not throwing targets is costing you money. If the reason is a duff connector, that cheap original connector starts to look rather expensive, right?

Made in the UK, these connectors are rated at 240 volts AC at 16 amps.
If you have an issue with using mains connectors on the gound (Yeah, right) then we can offer you a "Low Voltage" version made from the same materials and hence the same electrical properties but without the "Earth" symbol on the middle pin or the 240 volt rating... and they cannot be mated with the 240 volt connectors either.

You can swap inserts over so with a male and female 'insert' and male and female 'housings' you can create two plug/socket pairs that can only be mated with their respective mates.

We can also provide chassis versions with 5 hole mountings (That's 4 flange holes and a middle hole for the cable) or a single hole mounting in male and female versions AND blanking caps to ensure a 100% submersible seal when the connector is unused.
Absolutely ideal for a Trap mounting release cord connector. No more trailing cables for at least 2 of the 4 people needed to lift it to stand on.

Once we see a 4 pin version, we at Claymate will be fitting these as standard handset connectors on our new range being launched in 2006.
