Socket eyes connect conductor clamping devices to ball and socket insulators in transmission line hardware. The body is constructed from galvanized ductile iron or forged steel with hot dip galvanized finish for corrosion resistance, while the cotter pin uses stainless steel for durability in various environmental conditions.
Ultimate strength ratings range from 30,000 to 50,000 pounds depending on the variant. Some models include Charpy impact specifications for enhanced reliability. Dimensional specifications vary by model, with hole diameters typically between 1.063 and 1.188 inches, widths from 1-1/16 to 1-7/32 inches, and lengths commonly around 5-1/2 inches.
Socket eyes comply with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Specification C29.2-71 and work with ANSI class 52-3, 52-5, 52-8, and 52-11 insulators. Product variants include standard and long or hot line types, each with unique catalog numbers offering differences in ultimate strength, dimensions, and weight to suit various transmission line configurations.
The hot dip galvanized coating provides resistance to moisture, corrosion, chemicals, and ultraviolet radiation. Individual weights approximate 5.488 pounds for some models, with pallet quantities up to 320 units available for distribution.
