Molex Elevates Electrical Safety in Harsh Environments with Launch of First Portable, IP69K-Rated Super-Safeway Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Molex, a global electronics leader and connectivity innovator, introduced the Super-Safeway™ Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) industrial-duty product at the 2023 International Production & Processing Expo (booth C13103). The new GFCI offering is the first portable 20A device to earn the IP69K rating, which is the highest level of industrial protection against the penetration of high-pressure, high-temperature water and dust. This latest addition to Molex’s Woodhead® line of permanent-mount and portable GFCI solutions is ideally suited for the food-processing industry as well as other applications where sanitizing equipment continually creates excessive moisture and humidity conditions. “Molex’s industrial customers operate highly complex processing equipment in some of the harshest and wettest environments, so addressing their safety concerns is a critical business priority,” said Tony Quebbemann, product marketing manager at Molex. “We developed the portable, IP69K-rated, 20A GFCI product to give our customers the highest levels of protection possible to safeguard them from the dangers of electrical failure or electrocution.” Meeting Rigorous Challenges with Industrial Strength Solutions A multitude of industrial and electrical challenges exist in food processing, petrochemical processing and mining plants where excessive water, moisture and humidity can create hazardous conditions. Similar risks occur in temporary outdoor environments where exposure to the elements can damage electrical equipment. For that reason, among others, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provides stringent guidelines on the use of GFCI solutions to protect employees from electrical shock. Molex’s new double-insulated GFCI meets industry standards while offering extra measures of protection to
