Crush-resistant coil cords

Feb 11, 2010

Ultra-Link Coil Cords are made of molded elastomeric material that resists crushing and acts as potting that seals terminals to help them resist moisture and corrosion.

The part numbers for all six Ultra-Link Coil Cords will remain consistent with those that have been sold in the past.
