FAQs
The AHL1630P uses a back wiring method compatible with #16-8 AWG conductors and supports a four-wire configuration, including a dedicated ground. This design simplifies field termination, reduces wiring errors, and speeds up panel installations. For service crews, back wiring minimizes terminal crowding and improves pull-out resistance under vibration, a key factor in busy industrial environments.
Key specs include 30 A amperage rating and a 480 V three-phase voltage rating, with a NEMA L16-30 configuration. The device is designed for industrial applications, uses brass contacts, nylon body, and supports cord diameters from 0.38 to 1.16 inches. These specifications ensure reliable performance in demanding 480 V systems.
This locking plug is ideal for manufacturing plants, material handling, robotics, and heavy equipment where secure, vibration-resistant connections are essential. The L16-30 configuration supports 3-phase power, while the Ultra Grip feature reduces accidental disconnects, making it a preferred choice for OEMs and maintenance teams managing complex, high-load machinery.
Yes, the AHL1630P is RoHS compliant and cULus Listed, providing regulatory confidence for electrical installations in North America. These certifications support safer materials usage and validated product safety for industrial environments, helping with audits, procurement standards, and compliance documentation.
Plan for periodic inspection of locking engagement, cord integrity, and terminal connections. The nylon Ultra Grip housing and back-wiring method support durable, long-life operation, minimizing downtime. Regular checks help detect wear on the locking interface and ensure the plug remains securely mated, preserving electrical continuity and safety across shift changes and load cycles.
