The BAC Break Away Connector fits in line with the grounding clamp and cable. If the Road Tanker \/ Tank Truck is driven off prematurely, the grounding clamp and the male half of the Break Away Connector (BAC) assembly separates from the remaining cable thus mitigating further damage to the installation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breakaway coupling socket for ATEX grounding clamps of static earthing systems<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fusion-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.athex.eu\/pdf\/datasheets\/newson-gale_athex_bac-break-away-connector_en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DATASHEET [EN] BAC Break Away Connector<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"fusion-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.athex.eu\/pdf\/datasheets\/newson-gale_athex_bac-break-away-connector-disclaimer_en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DISCLAIMER Break Away Connector<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5930,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[136],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-5932","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-earth-rite","first","instock","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Break Away Connector (BAC) | ATEX Grounding Safety | ATHEX<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Protect your ATEX grounding systems with the Break Away Connector (BAC).
