FAQs
The AHL1530C supports back wiring with four conductors, including a grounding path, to accommodate a three-phase, four-wire setup. Installers should prepare #16-8 AWG conductors, secure each wire to the appropriate terminal, and verify tightness to maintain the Ultra Grip locking mechanism. This method reduces field labor and promotes a clean, reliable connection in industrial panels.
The AHL1530C is designed specifically for L15-30 configurations, featuring three poles and four wires with a 30A, 250V rating. Its Nylon housing and Ultra Grip locking provide vibration resistance and secure mating in demanding environments, making it a dependable choice for motors, drives, and power distribution equipment.
Yes. The connector is RoHS compliant and cULus listed NOM, which supports regulatory compliance across North American and international facilities. Additional safety attributes include a robust nylon body, back-wiring design, and UL safety compatibility, all contributing to safer, enduring industrial installations.
This locking connector excels in industrial equipment applications such as motors, pumps, and welding machines where secure three-phase connections are critical. Its UL-listed certifications, temperature tolerance from -40 to 60 °C, and 0.38–1.16 in cord diameter compatibility make it suitable for harsh factory floors, outdoor facilities, and high-durability power distribution panels.
The AHL1530C provides faster terminations with back wiring, reducing field labor and wiring errors. Its locking mechanism minimizes disengagements due to vibration, lowering downtime and maintenance costs. The combination of RoHS compliance and cULus listing also streamlines regulatory audits and supplier qualification, supporting long-term cost efficiency.
