Eaton 15W49 Watertight Straight Blade Connector - IP67
Part Number: 15W49
Quick Summary
Eaton 15W49 watertight straight blade connector delivers reliable power connections for industrial enclosures. In damp or washdown environments, moisture can leak into terminations, causing corrosion, poor contact, and downtime. This model incorporates IP67 protection and cULus Listed certification, offering durable seals and robust materials. The yellow, back-wire design with screw terminals speeds installation, while the 0.30-0.65 inch conductor range supports #18-10 AWG conductors. Designed for industrial use, it supports back-wire terminations up to 15A at 250V, aligning with common control panels. Its nickel-plated brass contacts and Santoprene body resist corrosion and extend service life. Bulk packaging and compact dimensions simplify procurement and retrofit planning for maintenance teams.

Watertight IP67 design with two-pole, three-wire grounding reduces ingress of moisture in outdoor and washdown applications, translating to lower maintenance costs. The nickel-plated brass contacts deliver consistent conductivity and resistance to corrosion, while the Santoprene thermoplastic elastomer body provides flexible yet durable sealing in harsh environments. This translates to fewer field failures and longer service life in demanding industrial settings. The connector is rated for 15A at 250V and uses back-wire termination with screw connections, enabling quick, reliable terminations for #18-10 AWG conductors and reducing installation time by technicians familiar with standard practice. The compact, yellow body improves visibility in cluttered control panels, aiding safety and reducing improper wiring. Compatibility with bulk packaging supports streamlined procurement for maintenance and retrofit programs.

FAQs
Installers terminate #18-10 AWG conductors using the back-wire method by inserting stripped conductors into the back-wire slots and tightening the screws to the recommended torque of 14 lbf-in. Ensure correct polarity and grounding for the two-pole, three-wire configuration (grounded). After termination, confirm the IP67 seal by inspecting the body and ensuring the enclosure surfaces are clean and free of debris. This approach minimizes field fatigue and improves termination reliability in harsh environments.
The 15W49 is rated for 15A at 250V and uses a NEMA 6-15R configuration. It is a two-pole, three-wire receptacle with grounding, designed for industrial applications where controlled, reliable power delivery is essential. This alignment with common control panels simplifies integration with standard components and reduces the need for adapters or custom wiring.
Yes. The connector is designed for damp and wet conditions and carries IP67 environmental protection, meaning it is dust-tight and capable of withstanding immersion in water up to a specified depth. Coupled with cULus Listing, this makes it suitable for outdoor installations, washdown zones, and other challenging environments while maintaining electrical integrity and safety.
The 15W49 carries cULus Listed certification and IP67 protection. This combination confirms compliance with North American safety standards and excellent ingress protection for wet environments. For engineers and procurement teams, it reduces compliance risk, simplifies approvals, and supports safer, more reliable deployments in industrial facilities.
The 15W49 offers long-term reliability with corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass contacts and a rugged Santoprene body, reducing maintenance frequency. Its back-wire/screw termination and clearance for #18-10 AWG streamline installation, cutting labor costs. The watertight IP67 design minimizes unplanned downtime from moisture ingress, delivering a measurable return on investment through extended service life and lower total cost of ownership.
