Description
CONNECTOR PLATES
A large range of plates designed to fit BS4662 and BS1363 standard electrical flush or surface boxes. Plates are supplied with mounting holes for 1, 2, 3 ou 4 connectors in the Canford “Universal” or Neutrik “D” series (24mm mounting hole), or blank for other punching by the user. Plate fixing screws plus appropriate connector mounting hardware is included. Connectors should be ordered separately as required. (Note that when using BNC (double-sided) Universal connectors, right angled mating cable BNC’s may be required in order to fit within the space available. Also note that due to the size of the mating connector, Neutrik NL4MP connectors should not be used in adjacent holes in F2 and F4 size plates).
For blank plates, users should take great care when punching mounting holes with Q-max type two-part punches, as the lacquered finish on the front face will be damaged unless only the male part of the punch set is used on the front face. Similarly, care should be taken to ensure that the punches to be used are suitable to punch 1.5mm sheet steel.
Type F - Metal, flat.
Flat 1.5mm thick steel or brass plates, with rounded corners. Plates are finished in satin nickel (SN suffix) and 1 and 2-gang sizes are also available in polished brass (PB suffix).
Type P - Plastic
Off white hard plastic, with contours and rounded-corner style to match MK ‘Logic Plus’ and many other electrical fittings. Designed for connectors to be fitted on the front surface (mounting holes are not countersunk). Suitable rounded corner surface boxes are 49-519 and 49-520.
Type PN – Plastic
Off white plastic, with gently convex front face and rounded corners. Designed for connectors to be fitted on the front or rear surface (mounting holes are not countersunk). Suitable rounded corner surface boxes are 49-519 and 49-520.
Mounting boxes
It is recommended that boxes with a minimum depth of 31mm are used. (If the flush boxes are being installed in the building by a different contractor, remember to specify deep boxes are required.) Canford stocks suitable flush mount steel boxes with knockouts, which are suitable for all plates. Type F metal plates can be surface mounted using cast alloy boxes, finished black. Type P and PN plastic plates can be surface mounted with matching white plastic boxes.
