APPLETON PLUGS AND RECEPTACLES

“TRUSTED CONNECTIONS.”
“SUPPLYING POWER WHERE IT’S NEEDED.”
The portable equipment used to build, repair, operate
or maintain petrochemical plants, marine terminals,
cell towers or even petroleum exploration equipment
requires secure electrical connections. Achieving this
safely requires Appleton plugs and receptacles. For over
100 years, we have given you the power to connect.
Our single-minded goal is safety. We protect your personnel
by designing plugs and receptacles with safe, reliable and secure
connectivity. We make them watertight, dust ignition proof
or explosionproof to keep your facilities as safe as possible. Indeed,
many of our receptacles pass the rigorous NEMA 4X requirements.
And when you consider that NEMA 3X is the industry standard,
you begin to see just what kind of trusted connection you can expect
from Appleton.
