Appleton ACP-3044BC Metallic Clamping Ring Plug

ACP3044BC is a Powertite Series metallic clamping ring plug from Appleton Electric, delivering a 30 A, 600 VAC, 4-pole, 4-wire mating solution for industrial power circuits. This pin-and-sleeve plug uses Grounding Style 1 with a metallic clamping ring and a pressure wire terminal, and its copper-free aluminum housing supports 10–6 AWG (building) and 10–8 AWG (extra-flex) conductors. The unit is rated for 600 VAC at 50–400 Hz and 250 VDC, with a temperature range from -40 to 225 degrees Fahrenheit, suitable for harsh environments. It carries NEMA 3/3R/4/4X ratings when the clamping ring is fully tightened on the connector body, providing weather and wash-down resistance in outdoor or demanding industrial settings. Physical dimensions run about 6 inches in length and 3.13 inches in width, and the assembled plug weighs roughly 0.83 kg, making it a substantial, durable component for power distribution. The ACP3044BC plug is intended to be mated with compatible Appleton Powertite receptacles and is commonly referenced as a replacement for AEP3451 in various catalogs, reinforcing its role in legacy and new equipment upgrades. For installations demanding robust, reliable 30 A service with a 4-wire configuration, this plug provides a code-compliant, rugged option within the Powertite family.
