Square D APJ10487 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Crouse-Hinds Arktite APJ10487 plug mate with any Arktite receptacle?
The APJ10487 is built to mate with Crouse-Hinds Arktite receptacles, and it is rated 100 A with a permissible voltage of 250 V DC / 600 V AC. Match the receptacle to those same ratings and to the same Arktite pin-and-sleeve configuration; a 100 A Arktite plug will not engage a 30 A or 60 A Arktite body. If you are replacing an existing plug, read the rating on the receptacle in the wall before ordering.
2) Which safety switches is the Arktite 100A plug intended for?
It is specified for use with H(U)363WC, H(U)363DSWC and H(U)363AWC F 100-100 A safety switches. If your disconnect is one of those Square D receptacle-equipped switches at the 100 A rating, APJ10487 is the matching plug. For a 30 A or 60 A version of those switches, this is the wrong plug.
3) Can this plug be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
NEMA 4X is the enclosure rating on the APJ10487, so it is suited to wet, washdown and corrosive locations as well as outdoor exposure. It is not a hazardous-location classification on its own; if your area is Class I or Class II classified, confirm the specific listing marking on the device and the mating receptacle.
4) Can I use a standard straight blade cord plug instead of an Arktite plug on a 100A circuit?
No. Straight blade devices top out far below 100 A, and the alternatives we stock in that style are much smaller circuits: the Leviton 931-E commercial grade straight blade plug is a 250 V AC 30/50 A device, and the Eaton Arrow Hart Ultra Grip is 15 A 125 V. For a 100 A feeder at 600 V AC you need the pin-and-sleeve Arktite style, which is what APJ10487 is.
5) What plug should I use instead of the Square D Crouse-Hinds Arktite APJ10487 for a 250V 30/50A cord connection?
The Arktite APJ10487 is a 100A plug rated 250V DC / 600V AC, so it is oversized for a 30 or 50 amp cord drop. For that range, the Leviton 931-E is a commercial grade straight blade plug, 3-wire 2-pole, 250V AC, 30/50-amp. It is a straight blade device rather than an interlocked Arktite pin-and-sleeve plug, so it mates with standard straight blade receptacles instead of Crouse-Hinds Arktite receptacles.
6) Is this plug approved for use in Canada as well as the US?
Both. The Arktite 100A plug is UL Listed and CSA certified, which covers inspection in US and Canadian jurisdictions.
7) What is the exact part number to order for this Square D Arktite plug?
Order by MPN APJ10487. It is sold as a single configuration, so there are no finish, amperage or voltage options to select.
8) Will this Arktite plug work on a 480V three-phase motor circuit?
Yes. The permissible voltage is 250 V DC / 600 V AC, so 480 V AC three-phase is within rating, as is 600 V AC. Line current must not exceed 100 A.
9) I need a watertight plug but only for a 15A hospital circuit, is this the right part?
No, this one is a 100 A industrial Arktite plug. For a small watertight hospital-grade circuit, the Bryant 8666TSP watertight hospital-grade plug in NEMA 6-15P is the type you want, or the Bryant 8266T hospital grade NEMA 5-15P for a standard 125 V outlet.
10) Does this Arktite plug include the receptacle or the disconnect switch?
No. APJ10487 is the plug only. The mating Arktite receptacle, or the H(U)363WC family safety switch it plugs into, is ordered separately.
11) For a washdown area, is the Bryant 8666TSP an alternative to the Arktite 100A plug?
Both address wet exposure but at very different capacities. The Arktite APJ10487 carries a NEMA 4X degree of protection and is rated for 100A at 250V DC / 600V AC for industrial feeders and safety switch connections. The Bryant 8666TSP is a watertight hospital-grade plug in the N6-15P configuration, which is a small branch-circuit cord plug. Use the Arktite where the connection is a heavy industrial circuit and the 8666TSP where a hospital-grade 15 amp cord cap is specified.
12) What is the closest thing to the Arktite 100A plug for a 50 amp range or welder cord?
The Bryant 7516NC is a rubber electrical plug in the NM10-50P series, a 50 amp cord plug for standard 10-50 style receptacles. The Square D Crouse-Hinds Arktite APJ10487 is a 100A plug rated 250V DC / 600V AC and is intended for use with H(U)363WC / H(U)363DSWC / H(U)363AWC F 100-100 A safety switches and Arktite receptacles, so it is a different connector family and a different amperage class.
13) Does a spec-grade or extra-hard-use plug like the Pass & Seymour PS5266X do the same job as the Arktite 100A plug?
No. The Pass and Seymour PS5266X is a 15A 125V extra-hard use spec-grade plug with a nylon housing and white face, sized for tool and appliance cords. The Square D Crouse-Hinds Arktite APJ10487 is rated for 100 A line current at 250 V DC / 600 V AC with NEMA 4X protection for industrial power distribution and safety switch installations. They serve different circuit capacities and are not alternates for one another.
14) Is this plug RoHS and REACH compliant for our facility documentation?
It is in scope for European RoHS with exemption information on file, reported free of REACH SVHCs, and mercury free. WEEE product category is 5.
15) For a 20A 125V portable cord where a right-angle body helps, what plug is used instead of the Arktite 100A plug?
The Pass and Seymour EHU angled straight blade plug is rated 20A 125V, and the Bryant 8395T is an angle hospital-grade plug in the NEMA 5-20P configuration if hospital grade is required. Neither replaces the Arktite APJ10487 on an Arktite receptacle, since that plug is a 100A device rated 250V DC / 600V AC engineered to mate with Crouse-Hinds Arktite receptacles.
16) If a facility needs a hospital grade 15 amp cord cap, not the Arktite 100A plug, what are the options?
The Bryant 8266T is a hospital grade plug in the NEMA 5-15P configuration, and the Eaton Arrow Hart Ultra Grip straight blade plug is a 15A 125V industrial specification grade device for the same branch-circuit range. The Square D Crouse-Hinds Arktite APJ10487 is a 100A plug with NEMA 4X protection intended for industrial power distribution and Arktite receptacles, so it does not cover hospital grade patient-care cord applications.
17) Is the Pass & Seymour MaxGrip M3 cord plug an equivalent to the Square D Arktite 100A plug?
They are not equivalents. The Pass and Seymour PS5965Y is a MaxGrip M3 nylon cord plug in yellow, a field-wired cord cap for portable power. The Arktite APJ10487 is a UL Listed, CSA certified 100A plug rated 250V DC / 600V AC with NEMA 4X protection, specified for use with H(U)363WC / H(U)363DSWC / H(U)363AWC F 100-100 A safety switches.
