Overview 2015 – Eaton launched an alternative XT mechanical & electrical connector, B frame MMP to B frame contactor, tool required 2017 – Eaton launces new XT M&E connector, B MMP to C contactor, to improve competitive features

Connection Options up to 15A (B → B) Tool-less solution - XTPAXTPCB Standard solution - XTPAXEMCB Easily connect MMP and contactor without tool Visual indication of positive electrical connection Electrical connection can be removed without disassembly, easy isolation Interlock prevents installation of electrical connector while MMP is closed Available pre-assembled Electrical connection requires the terminals to be torqued into position Easily connect MMP and contactor with use of tool Easier disassembly than tool-less Available only with Non-Reversing Available pre-assembled Both combinations mount on a single DIN rail, connected to MMP

Connection Options up to 32A (B → C) XTPAXEMCC advantages Faster assembling Reduced dimensions 30mm height reduction 25mm depth reduction Finger proof connection IP20 1 component vs 2 Installs on common bus with smaller frame units (B→C), unlike current solution XTPAXTPCC → XTPAXEMCC (New) Both combinations mount on a single DIN rail, connected to MMP
