The MIN series locks are designed to secure the connection between two straight MIN plugs or between a straight MIN plug and a mating receptacle to prevent the unexpected interruptions. The padlock hole ensures the extra layered protection by allowing only authorized users to have access to the connection. When the padlock is removed, the locks can be opened by inserting a small flat-blade screwdriver into the slot. The MIN locks for plug-to-receptacle connection are available in both MIN size I (7/8 in) and PMIN (1-3/8 in) series. The plug-to-plug connection is available in PMIN (1-3/8 in) series.
