Eaton AHCL820FI Locking Flanged Inlet - Voltage Color Coding

Color-coded locking inlet design delivers immediate safety and efficiency gains. The ANSI/IEC-compliant voltage color coding helps technicians verify correct connections at a glance, reducing mis-wiring during panel assembly or field service. The locking mechanism resists accidental pulls and vibration, which translates to fewer de-energized events and lower warranty costs. In practical terms, this configuration is ideal for industrial control panels, motor starters, and equipment cabinets where 480 V feeders must be clearly identified and securely retained. Nylon body and Ultra grip features combine lightweight handling with rugged durability. The nylon face and body resist impact, oils, and chemicals common in automated facilities, while the textured grip accelerates removal and replacement during maintenance windows. This material choice also contributes to noise reduction and ease of cleaning in dusty environments, which translates into longer service intervals and reduced downtime in high-cycle applications. Back-wiring and wiring method: Back, 3 wires, two-pole L8-20 configuration. Allowable wire size #14-8 AWG; torque ratings: 14-16 lbf-in for #10-14 AWG and 20 lbf-in for #8 AWG. This leads to faster, more repeatable terminations and consistent electrical performance across assemblies. Wide operating temperature range -40°C to 60°C enables reliable operation on shop floors, outdoors, or in refrigerated environments. The wide range reduces the need for multiple part numbers across geographic deployments, lowering procurement complexity and stocking costs. Regulatory and environmental compliance: RoHS compliant materials and cULus Listing NOM address common regulatory requirements in North America and Europe where applicable. The combination of these certifications supports supplier qualification packages and end-user audits, helping teams maintain compliance while accelerating project timelines.
