The Vortex GT is a reverse bayonet connector which incorpo-
rates our patented RADSOK technology. It is designed to
deliver high power from source to load. The plug contains an
18mm RADSOK socket and Receptacle contains an 18mm
pin with the option of crimp, 2 hole busbar, or threaded busbar
termination. When unmated personal safety is maintained
through IP2X (touchproof) contact design. The RADSOK’S
strongest benefit is its very low milli-volt drop and minimized
temperature rise when transmitting high current. The 18mm
Vortex GT is perfectly suited for high amperage applications
such as electrical generators, fuel cells, load banks, and
charging systems.
Benefits:
• Quick positive coupling
• Audible, tactile and visual indication of full coupling
• Environmental Applications
• High Amperage Applications
• Easily Adaptable
• Better Conductivity where needed
