Product Overview

The Socket Clevis (WS Series Socket Clevis Eye) is an essential link hardware component in high-voltage overhead power transmission and distribution systems. Manufactured by YiHao Power, it is designed to connect the ball pin of a suspension or strain insulator string to a clevis-type fitting, yoke plate, or strain clamp. Its heavy-duty forged construction ensures optimal mechanical load distribution and maximum operational safety.
