Eaton 7314CW Watertight Locking Connector - IP67

Watertight design with IP67 and NEMA ratings protects power connections in wet, dust-prone environments, guarding against water ingress and corrosion. This level of sealing minimizes field service calls, reduces maintenance costs, and extends connector life in harsh manufacturing floors. Ideal applications include outdoor enclosures, washdown zones, and rugged industrial installations where reliable power is non-negotiable. Three-pole, three-wire configuration delivers 20A at 125/250V in a compact locking format, ensuring a secure connection that resists accidental unplugging. The locking mechanism reduces vibration-induced disconnects on mobile equipment and conveyors, improving uptime and operator safety. Suitable for industrial motors, pumps, and tools that require a dependable, non-grounding power interface. Constructed with a nylon face/body and a Santoprene thermoplastic elastomer seal, this connector resists abrasion, oils, and weathering while maintaining flexibility in temperature swings. Nickel-plated brass contacts deliver reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance for long service life. Together these materials reduce maintenance intervals and replacement costs in demanding environments such as chemical plants and outdoor equipment. Wiring method backs, with allowable #18-10 AWG conductors and defined torque for #10-14 AWG: 14-16 lbf-in and #8 AWG: 20 lbf-in, ensures a consistent, code-compliant termination. Back-wiring simplifies field installations while maintaining seal integrity and strain relief. This makes it easier to mass-assemble panels and retrofit existing systems without special tooling. Color-coded yellow assists quick identification during maintenance and spares management, while cULus listing confirms regulatory compliance for North American use. The device is designed to meet extra heavy-duty industrial specification grade, blending rugged construction with practical field compatibility. For integrators, this means predictable performance, extended service intervals, and safer, faster installations in busy plant environments.
