Thomas & Betts PB310 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Thomas & Betts PB310 and where does it mount?
The PB310 is a single lever locking panel base from the Thomas & Betts pin and sleeve line. It is the panel-mounted half of a pin and sleeve connection, with a single lever that locks the mating plug or connector body in place. It is sold individually, one each per order.
2) Can the PB310 panel base be used outdoors or in a cold warehouse or freezer dock?
Its rated operating range is -40 to +257 degrees F, so unheated docks, cold storage areas and outdoor equipment yards are within range on the temperature side. The housing is die-cast aluminum alloy with an epoxy powder coated finish, which is the corrosion barrier for washdown and exterior exposure.
3) Does a PB310 panel base include the plug or connector body?
No. The PB310 is the panel base only, the enclosure half that mounts to the panel or enclosure wall. The mating pin and sleeve plug or connector body is a separate order line, so specify it alongside the base when you are building out a complete receptacle assembly.
4) Is the PB310 metal or plastic? I need something that survives a plant floor.
Metal. The body is die-cast aluminum alloy, not a thermoplastic shell, and it is epoxy powder coated over the casting. That combination is what industrial and MRO buyers specify for machine-shop and process areas where a plastic housing gets cracked by impact.
5) What part number do I order for the Thomas & Betts single lever locking panel base?
Order it as Thomas & Betts PB310. That is the manufacturer part number, and it is the only configuration offered, so there is no finish or amperage suffix to add to the order.
6) Why choose a lever locking pin and sleeve base instead of a standard straight blade receptacle?
Pin and sleeve devices are chosen where a connection has to stay made under vibration, pull, and washdown, and where the contacts need to be shrouded rather than exposed blades. The single lever on the PB310 mechanically latches the mating device so it cannot be shaken or dragged loose. A standard straight blade receptacle is the cheaper choice for light office or general-purpose loads; for plant equipment, portable power, and outdoor gear the pin and sleeve base is the usual specification.
