Eaton Specification Sheet - AHCL820FO
Color coded locking devices reduce miswiring and unintentional disconnections, improving safety and uptime in high-demand lines, robotics cells, and manufacturing panels. This translates to measurable efficiency gains and faster task completion, especially where 480 V power is standard. The 20 A rating and L8-20 configuration ensure compatibility with critical equipment without overloading circuits, decreasing the risk of nuisance trips and extending component life. Back wiring supports quick, field-installable connections, reducing labor time during panel assembly and service. Nylon face/body with Ultra grip enhances durability and grip in oily or dusty environments, delivering reliable connections across -40 to 60 °C. The torque range for various AWG sizes guarantees a secure fit and compliant termination, minimizing maintenance and retorque events. RoHS and cULus certifications simplify regulatory compliance for global facilities, while color-coded wiring aids in phase identification and safety audits.

FAQs
The AHCL820FO supports up to 20A at 480V in a 3-wire, back-wired configuration (L8-20). It accepts #14-8 AWG conductors and uses a nylon Ultra grip body for durable, secure terminations. This makes it suitable for industrial motors, power distribution enclosures, and heavy machinery panels.
Yes. The AHCL820FO uses a back wiring method designed for straightforward field connections. Pair this with its torque recommendations for #8 to #14 AWG wires to ensure a secure fit that resists loosening under vibration common in industrial environments.
Yes. The device is RoHS compliant and cULus listed (NOM), ensuring adherence to key regulatory and electrical safety standards for global installations and audits.
Color coding helps operators quickly identify phase connections, reducing miswiring and safety hazards. In high-mix environments, this supports faster wiring audits, safer startup/shutdown sequences, and easier compliance reporting, all while maintaining a secure locking mechanism to prevent accidental disconnections.
The locking design minimizes accidental unplugging, reducing downtime and service interruptions. Nylon construction withstands harsh conditions, and back-wiring simplifies maintenance. Over time, this can lower labor costs, improve uptime, and simplify regulatory audits due to clear color coding and reliable performance.
