About the ME560C7W Pin & Sleeve Connector, 60
The ME560C7W Pin & Sleeve Connector 60 A rating is built to the IEC 60309 pin-and-sleeve pattern in the industry-standard 560C7W configuration: 60 A, 4-pole 5-wire, for 277/480 V AC three-phase systems, with the earthing contact at the 7 h clock position and a red colour code identifying the 480 V class. Distributor listings for this configuration describe a watertight (IP67-class) construction protected against dust and temporary immersion. The 560C7W designation itself encodes the essentials — 5 wires, 60 amperes, connector body, 7 h ground position, watertight — and because it follows IEC 60309-1/-2, connectors of this configuration mate interchangeably with matching plugs and inlets from other major manufacturers. This reference is listed under the Mennekes ME-prefixed part series; the connector is the cable-mounted female half of the mating pair.

Typical applications
Watertight 60 A pin-and-sleeve connectors in this configuration terminate flexible cables feeding three-phase equipment — pumps, compressors, welders, temporary power distribution and plant machinery — where connections must survive hosedown, rain or outdoor duty. The keyed 7 h earth position prevents mating with devices of a different voltage class.
