Duraline

What Duraline does

Duraline is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of safety-engineered electrical distribution and temporary lighting products, operating as a division of J.B. Nottingham Co Inc from a single headquarters and manufacturing facility at 1731 Patterson Avenue, DeLand, Florida. Founded in 1946, the company builds its portfolio around a proprietary solid rubber molded-to-cable construction process: insulating sleeves are fused directly to cable jackets during molding, eliminating voids and air gaps and producing watertight, IP68-rated connections. The catalog spans single-pole cam-type connectors (E1017/E1022/E1023 series, rated up to 690A continuous at 600V), the patented 518 Series 50-1000A high-power connectors with 360-degree ball-and-socket locking collets, multi-pin connectors (2-16 wire configurations), Fire Power IP68 connectors for fire trucks, 3-wire stage pin connectors, NEMA-style plugs and receptacles, weatherproof power distribution blocks, GFCI distribution panels, temporary LED and incandescent lighting stringers, welding preheat systems, and custom portable power distribution panels. All molding, soldering, crimping, and assembly, plus CNC lathe and milling work, are performed on-site.
