Hubbell M5200CS1R 200A Female Connector Body 600V 4 Pole — Product description
Discover the reliability of high-performance marine electrical connections with the Hubbell M5200CS1R, a 200A female connector body engineered for demanding ship-to-shore power applications. Designed specifically for marine environments, this 600V, 4-pole connector delivers robust power transfer while prioritizing safety and durability in wet, corrosive conditions. Whether you're outfitting a large yacht, commercial vessel, or marina setup, this connector ensures seamless, secure connections that stand up to the harshest saltwater exposures.
Standout Features for Marine Excellence
- Superior Watertight Design: Equipped with a locking ring that creates a secure, NEMA 4X-rated seal at the inlet/connector interface, preventing water ingress even under heavy spray or submersion.
- Robust Construction: Crafted from copper-free aluminum with a durable epoxy/polyester finish, offering exceptional resistance to corrosion and galvanic action in marine settings.
- Generous Cord Compatibility: Accommodates a wide cord range from #1 AWG to 250 MCM, with a maximum conductor diameter of 0.653 inches, making it versatile for various cable sizes common in high-amperage setups.
- High-End Contacts: Features nickel-plated Tellurium copper pin and sleeve contacts, which provide outstanding heat dissipation, electrical conductivity, and long-term resistance to pitting or arcing.
- UL Listed Marine-Grade: First-of-its-kind UL-listed 200A system, fully interchangeable with compatible industrial devices, ensuring compliance and peace of mind.
Why This Connector Elevates Your Marine Power Setup
In the world of boating, power reliability isn't optional—it's essential. The M5200CS1R goes beyond basic connectivity by minimizing downtime risks associated with loose connections or environmental damage. Its gray/yellow metallic finish not only enhances visibility for quick identification but also signals professional-grade quality. Boat owners report fewer service calls and extended equipment life, thanks to its ability to handle the thermal stresses of 200A loads without compromise.
Imagine docking after a long voyage, plugging in effortlessly, and knowing your vessel's systems—from HVAC to lighting—are powered safely without the worry of moisture-related faults. This connector's design reduces installation time with its intuitive locking mechanism, saving labor costs and hassle during busy marina seasons.

Pro Tips for Seamless Installation
- Ensure the mating inlet is clean and dry before connecting.
- Align the connector and twist the locking ring firmly until it seats securely—listen for the click that confirms the watertight seal.
- Use appropriate strain relief for the cord to prevent pull-out under load.
- Regularly inspect for wear, especially after exposure to saltwater; a quick wipe-down with fresh water maintains peak performance.
- For extension setups, pair with compatible watertight plugs to maintain the full system's integrity.
These steps, drawn from real-world marine electrician practices, help maximize the connector's lifespan and safety.
Long-Term Maintenance for Peak Performance
Keep your M5200CS1R in top shape with simple routines: Rinse with fresh water after each use to remove salt residue, avoid high-pressure washers directly on seals, and store in a dry area when not in service. Over time, this prevents common issues like contact oxidation, ensuring consistent power delivery season after season.
