Four-pole locking plug with back wiring and flat cable compatibility ensures a secure, vibration-resistant connection in control panels and equipment. The Ultra Grip mechanism minimizes loosening under constant motion, reducing downtime and rework. This translates to faster wiring during installation and easier later maintenance, especially in conveyors, CNC machines, and industrial robots where stable connections are critical for safety and performance. With a 20A amperage rating and a 120/208V three-phase Y configuration, the AHL2120PF handles typical industrial loads with low contact resistance thanks to brass contacts. The result is improved electrical efficiency and reduced heat buildup, limiting energy waste and extending component life. Applications include industrial machinery, motor starters, and distribution panels where reliable current transfer matters most. Nylon housing and a design built for back wiring support up to flat cable #16-8 AWG and up to five conductors maintains a compact footprint. The robust housing provides mechanical protection in harsh environments, while compatibility with flat cable enables cleaner, lower-profile installations in tight panel spaces. This choice reduces field wiring errors and speeds assembly on machine tools, packaging lines, and process equipment. RoHS compliance and NOM cULus listing address regulatory and environmental requirements for many manufacturers. This reduces procurement risk, simplifies audit trails, and eases certification processes for new equipment installs. In practice, buyers gain confidence that the locking plug aligns with corporate sustainability goals and meets strict regional standards across North America and Europe, without sacrificing performance. L21-20 NEMA configuration and back-wiring workflow fit naturally with existing Eaton locking devices and power distribution schemes. This compatibility supports scalable installations and spare-part standardization across plants, helping maintenance teams stock a common catalog. Engineers benefit from consistent wiring practices, faster replacements, and predictable electrical behavior across various line setups.

FAQs
Plan for back wiring with up to five conductors, including flat cable up to #16-8 AWG. The unit is four-pole L21-20, with a compact nylon body measuring 4.19 in length, 2.31 in height, and 2.28 in width. Ensure secure seating and verify alignment of brass contact points to prevent cross-wiring in rugged environments.
Yes. The locking plug is RoHS Compliant and NOM cULus Listed, providing regulatory compliance for North American industrial applications and helping to satisfy supplier quality and environmental requirements in manufacturing ecosystems.
Ideal for industrial machines, control panels, and conveyors requiring a four-pole L21-20 configuration with 120/208V input. Its back-wiring method and flat-cable compatibility support clean panel installations in tight spaces, while maintaining robust current handling and vibration resistance.
Ultra Grip provides a secure fit that resists loosening under vibration and dynamic loads common in industrial settings. Combined with brass contacts and a nylon housing, it delivers reliable current transfer, reduces maintenance intervals, and improves equipment uptime in harsh environments.
Expect lower downtime due to more reliable, vibration-resistant connections, reduced wiring errors, and easier maintenance. The RoHS and NOM cULus compliance simplify audits and procurement, while compatibility with existing Eaton locking devices supports scalable, cost-efficient panel upgrades.
