Breakaway Connectors
Wire Breakaway Connector (00531 Series)
The wire breakaway connector is our most recent addition to our family of breakaway connectors. This connector uses a wire instead of a pin to achieve the smallest of break loads. The two-piece design ensures you don’t lose parts of your connector when separation does occur, and the product is manufactured from stainless steel to provide years of service.
Wire kits are sold separately in packs of 10.

Breakaway Connector (00530 Series)
These products are typically used during the installation of fiber optic cable or very small gas ducting where the connector can be preset to breakaway at a predetermined load, thus protecting the fibers or the duct. The breakaway pins may be changed to allow the same connector or swivel to be used with a variety of different breakaway pins. *Uses 00535 & 00555 series pins.
