Ultra Grip locking receptacle delivers secure mating under vibration, reducing nuisance disconnects and safeguarding critical loads in manufacturing lines. Business impact: lower downtime and fewer repair calls, enabling faster start-ups and improved shift throughput. Application: ideal for L15-20, three-pole four-wire power distribution in industrial automation panels. The back-wiring design accepts #16-8 AWG conductors, streamlining field terminations and reducing installation time per outlet. This translates to measurable labor savings on large-scale deployments and easier retrofit projects. Nylon body provides resistance to impact, chemicals, and moisture, extending service life in factory floors and outdoor enclosures. In practice, this means lower replacement costs and less maintenance, even in aggressive environments. Operating temperature ranges from -40 to 60 °C, ensuring reliable operation across indoor plants and exposed installations. The device is RoHS compliant and cULus listed, simplifying regulatory compliance and audits while supporting global procurement standards. With a compact footprint (4.19 in length, 2.28 in width, 2.31 in height) and a 0.45 lb weight, it fits standard electrical panels and cord grips without requiring extensive rack space.

FAQs
Start by confirming the back-wiring wiring method and conductor size (#16-8 AWG). Strip the conductors to the manufacturer’s specified length, insert into the appropriate terminals, and tighten to the recommended torque to ensure solid contact. Verify the L15-20 three-pole configuration, then mate with the corresponding receptacle, ensuring a secure, locked connection before energizing the circuit.
The AHL1520C is rated for -40 to 60 °C (-40 to 140 °F), enabling reliable performance in cold facilities and hot production zones. Its nylon Ultra Grip housing provides rugged durability against impact and moisture, while RoHS compliance minimizes hazardous material concerns in regulated environments.
Yes. Designed as an L15-20 locking connector, it supports three-pole four-wire (grounding) configurations at 20A and 250V. Back wiring simplifies field terminations, and the locking mechanism ensures secure mating in vibration-prone environments commonly found in manufacturing and process automation.
This connector is RoHS compliant and cULus listed. RoHS ensures restriction of hazardous substances, supporting safer product stewardship, while cULus listing confirms compliance with applicable North American safety standards for electrical equipment, facilitating procurement and reducing regulatory risk in industrial deployments.
The locking feature reduces accidental disconnections, improving uptime for critical equipment. Back wiring simplifies terminations, cutting installation time and labor costs. Nylon construction minimizes corrosion and wear, extending service life and lowering replacement and maintenance expenses across large-scale power-distribution installations.
