IEC 60309 Pin and Sleeve products are designed and manufactured to meet the International Standard IEC 60309-1 and IEC 60309-2. This device standard calls out a singly rated, non-interchangeable configuration for every voltage and type of service throughout the world. Pin and sleeve device housings are color coded by voltage rating. The voltage is determined by the location of the female ground contact relative to the housing keyway. Simply by manufacturing the device with a ground contact in a certain “clock” position, the device will be rated for a particular voltage system. The diagram shows the keying position and the color coding that is associated with each voltage.
