The WATTGATE™ products were born out of a desire to have AC power connectors of uncompromised quality. Realizing that high quality audio and video electronics enjoy noticeable advantages when fed proper AV power led us to create the WATTGATE™ Blue Star Audio Grade® products.

The innovative designs, use of the finest materials and state of the art manufacturing processes have resulted in a system of power connectors in a class of their own. Blue Star Audio Grade® connectors were a much needed industry first and continue to be the definitive choice of audio and video enthusiasts.

The performance of WATTGATE™ Blue Star Audio Grade® products relies on fundamental yet superior concepts of engineering. Highly conductive elements (silver, copper and gold) incorporated into high pressure, large surface area contacts reduces overall resistance which fulfills the goal of improved conductivity. In addition, by implementing new stainless hardware into all designs, performance has been enhanced through greater integrity and durability of the connection.

The WATTGATE™ WG381 IG is a top performance receptacle. An excellent power source for your high-end audio or home theater system.

The construction of the WG381 IG is very durable and features glass-filled, nylon-tough front and rear housings for UV and chemical resistance. The mounting strap, rivets and grounding strip are gold plated, solid brass. Installation of the 381 is simple and efficient due to rear wiring and large, #10 brass terminal screws. Terminal clamps are gold plated - solid brass and shaped to better grip the conductors. Like the WG330 and WG350, the WG381 IG leaves the competition behind with its contacts. They are configured in a triple-wipe design to allow the plug blade to be gripped at three separate points. Additionally, the contacts are made of very heavy-duty material to maximize the clamping spring-rate and ensure conductivity. The three-layer plating process is also completed on the WG381: Oxygen free copper plating, electroless nickel, and finally 24k gold plating dramatically improves conductivity and prevents corrosion.

Rated at 125VAC, 20 amp.
