Thomas Betts BB216MV Pin Sleeve Box Base 16A 600V

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS BB216MV is a standard-mount box base designed for use with B Series pin and sleeve connectors rated at 16 amperes and 600 VAC. This box base provides the fixed mounting point for a pin and sleeve connector assembly, accepting conduit entry via 1-inch and 3-quarter-inch NPT fittings. The double lever locking mechanism secures the mating connector firmly in place, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection under load. With 16 contacts, this base supports multi-pole industrial power distribution applications. It is sold as an individual unit and is manufactured in Germany.

This box base is suited for industrial and commercial electrical installations where rugged, panel-mounted power connection points are required. The standard mounting footprint and NPT conduit entries make it compatible with standard electrical enclosures and junction boxes. It is typically installed in manufacturing facilities, process plants, and heavy-duty commercial environments where pin and sleeve connectors are the specified connection system. Licensed electricians perform the installation in accordance with NEC requirements for industrial wiring.
