%0 amp connector part# - Printable Version

Thanks Bob! Your information allow me to
find that Arrow-Hart was acquired by Cooper and what they list as a 947B is not
the same as our original connectors. I appreciate you taking the time to check
your connector.

I agree with Don. If you are rebuilding the shore
cable anyway, replace the male connecter and go with the 4-pin system.

If they still make the old style connector, here is the complete information
(now that it is daylight and NOT snowing!) off my 50 connectors:

Arrow-Harting

Hart-Lock

Made in USA

U/L Listed 947B Connector

50A 250VAC
