Protect Your CAT Equipment Investment

Caterpillar vehicles and machinery often operate in demanding conditions—dusty construction sites, muddy agricultural fields, or high-humidity underground mining locations. These environments can take a toll on exposed electrical sockets, leading to oxidation, poor conductivity, or even electrical failure.

The BJT-500CSC Protective Cover ensures your CAT socket remains clean, dry, and operational, preventing moisture ingress or accidental impact damage that could impair jump-starting or diagnostic connections.

Ideal Applications

• Earthmovers and Excavators 
• Loaders and Dozers 
• Graders and Backhoes 
• Mining Haul Trucks 
• Agricultural Tractors and Equipment 
• Power Generators and Support Units 
• Any Caterpillar vehicle using compatible socket ports 

Whether your CAT machine is parked in a dusty workshop, stored in a yard, or deployed to a remote job site, the BJT-500CSC helps preserve electrical reliability by forming a resilient barrier against the elements.

FAQs About the BJT-500CSC CAT Socket Cover

1. What is this protective cover used for?

The BJT-500CSC is used to cover and protect battery or diagnostic sockets on Caterpillar equipment when not in use. It helps keep out dust, water, and debris that can degrade electrical connections or create start-up issues.

2. Is it compatible with all CAT sockets?

This cover is designed to fit most 2-pin and 3-pin CAT sockets typically found on Caterpillar machinery. For rare or proprietary socket sizes, contact us to confirm fitment.

3. Can it stay on during machine operation?

Yes. The cover is intended to stay on when the socket is not in use and will not interfere with general machine operation. It should be removed before any jump-starting or diagnostic testing.

4. How does it attach to the socket?

The cover uses a snug friction-fit or push-fit mechanism, designed to remain secure under vibration and external movement, but still easy to remove when needed.

5. Will it work on non-CAT machines?

It may work on machines with similar socket designs, but we recommend it primarily for use on Caterpillar models to ensure the best fit and sealing.
