Dual core surface mount connector

Static ground monitoring systems like the Bond-Rite® and Earth-Rite® range combine interlock control and visual indication to verified ground connection points and offer the highest levels of protection over electrostatic ignition risks.

Newson Gales’ approved surface mount grounding connector offers a positive contact with the equipment to be grounded. With this assembly, operators tasked with grounding mobile process equipment will have a dedicated grounding point to attach the easy-to-use screw thread connector.

The ‘plug and play’ connector can interface with all Newson Gale dual core systems to provide ground monitoring capability on a wide range of mobile processes and equipment where traditional grounding clamps cannot be used.

The conical shape design aids in the reduction of powder deposit build-up over time and aids in clean-down operations.

Surface Mount Grounding Connector (SMC)

The static grounding connector is IECEx and UKCA approved and certified to ensure it is capable of dissipating static charges from potentially charged equipment.

Dedicated grounding point

Assembly operators tasked with grounding mobile equipment can install the surface mount connector to ensure a positive contact with the process equipment to be grounded.

What are the benefits of using tungsten carbide teeth?

Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest materials in use in industry today, and when used in combination with a well-designed clamp spring, it has the capability to continuously bite through paint coatings, rust, or product deposits that a basic alligator clip or welding clamp would struggle with. Sharpened tungsten carbide teeth are a standard feature of Newson Gale’s heavy-duty clamps.
