Locking receptacle
The watertight seal design reduces moisture ingress, extending the life of electrical connections in washdown zones and outdoor equipment, which translates to fewer unplanned outages and lower maintenance costs. The locking duplex configuration provides a secure connection under vibration, minimizing disruptive unplugging and ensuring consistent power delivery for critical machinery. Back-wiring support for #18-10 AWG conductors enables fast, reliable field terminations, reducing installation time and the risk of loose terminations that can cause heat buildup. With a thermoplastic glass-filled nylon body and nickel-plated bronze contacts, the receptacle delivers durable mechanical strength and superior conductivity in harsh environments, supporting longer intervals between service and lower replacement parts costs. Compliance with cULus and IP66/NEMA ratings gives engineers confidence in meeting safety and environmental requirements across multiple facilities, including food processing, material handling, and outdoor equipment applications. The unit’s compact 6.75 inch depth and 4.25 by 4 inch footprint simplify retrofit into existing enclosures, while back-wire accessibility supports cleaner, safer installations and easier future upgrades in industrial control panels.

FAQs
The 65W49DPLX supports back wiring with #18-10 AWG conductors and is designed for straightforward field terminations. For conductor sizes #10-14 AWG, use torque ratings of 14-16 in-lbf, and for #8 AWG, torque increases to 20 in-lbf to ensure a secure connection. This design minimizes field rework, improves safety, and reduces downtime during panel upgrades or commissioning.
This receptacle is rated for 15A at 250V with a locking L6-15 configuration, two poles, and grounding. It supports three wires (grounding included) and is suitable for industrial outlets in environments requiring secure, vibration-resistant connections. The product also aligns with multiple NEMA configurations and IP66/washdown protection for harsh environments.
Yes. The 65W49DPLX is designed for washdown and harsh industrial uses, featuring IP66 and compatibility with NEMA 12, 4, 4X, and 3R environments. Its yellow housing and watertight design help protect against moisture, dust, and chemical exposure, making it appropriate for food processing floors, outdoor equipment, and heavy manufacturing areas.
The receptacle is cULus Listed, indicating compliance with safety and performance standards across North America. This certification, along with IP66 and NEMA ratings, provides assurance for regulatory acceptance, reduces red-teaming during audits, and supports universal compatibility in mixed-brand facilities.
The locking mechanism minimizes accidental disconnections, reducing downtime on critical equipment. Back-wire terminations simplify installation and future upgrades, lowering labor costs. Durable materials (glass-filled nylon housing and nickel-plated bronze contacts) resist corrosion and wear, extending service intervals and lowering replacement parts and maintenance costs over the life of the installation.
