FAQs
AHIGL530P uses a standard L5-30 locking configuration and back-wire termination, making it compatible with most 125V, 30A industrial outlets and matching receptacles. The device accepts #14-8 AWG conductors and fits typical panel cutouts used for locking devices. This streamlines field installs and reduces retrofit time when upgrading from nonlocking plugs.
This plug provides 30A at 125V with back-wire connectivity and a two-pole, three-wire arrangement. It operates reliably from -40 to 60 °C and features isolated ground to minimize electrical noise. Brass contacts and glass-filled nylon construction ensure low resistance and durable performance under vibration, making it suitable for welding, automation, and heavy manufacturing processes.
Yes. The L5-30, 30A/125V rating and isolated ground design are ideal for welding stations, automated cells, and control panels. The orange housing enhances visibility, while back-wire termination allows quick, secure terminations. Its rugged materials and wide operating temperature range support harsh factory environments common in manufacturing and automation projects.
The AHIGL530P is RoHS compliant and UL NOM listed with Federal Specification 6233 01, providing regulatory alignment and traceability. These certifications support risk mitigation during audits, enable easier supplier qualification, and help meet environmental and safety requirements for regulated industries.
By preventing inadvertent disconnections, the locking design reduces downtime during start-ups and changeovers. Durable construction minimizes replacement frequency, lowering maintenance costs. Field-friendly back wiring and compatibility with common #14-8 AWG cable sizes streamline install and upgrades, delivering faster ROI for OEMs and maintenance teams in demanding industrial settings.
