Phillips’ swivel sockets

August 25, 2014

Phillips’ S1 and S2 Single and Dual Pole Swivel Sockets for liftgates have the same swivel and automatic disconnect features of the company’s Sta-Dry S7. The sockets feature anti-corrosion components and are designed to extend the life of the liftgate’s charging cable and socket by offering cable strain relief near the base of the plug and eliminating pull-away damage to the socket. They are designed to swivel 80 degrees side-to-side following the tractor.
