FAQs
The AHL2130C supports back wiring with a cord diameter range of 0.38-1.16 inches and accepts #16-8 AWG conductors. It is a four-pole, five-wire device with grounding, configured for L21-30 (NEMA) sockets. This design simplifies field terminations and reduces terminal crowding inside panels. Use compatible tools and follow the Eaton datasheet for torque and terminal guidelines.
The AHL2130C is rated for 30A and 120/208V, designed as a four-pole, locking device with back wiring capability. It supports 3ØY configurations and a grounding conductor, suitable for industrial power distribution in demanding environments. This combination delivers dependable current handling while maintaining a compact footprint in control panels.
Yes. With a nylon body rated from -40 to 60 °C, 30A electrical capacity, and a locking mechanism, the AHL2130C is well-suited for industrial control panels and equipment enclosures. Its L21-30 configuration and robust construction improve reliability in vibration-prone environments, while back-wiring simplifies panel assembly and reduces installation time.
The AHL2130C carries RoHS compliance and NOM/cULus listing, ensuring regulatory alignment for many global markets. These certifications support safer material content and electrical safety compliance, helping engineers meet end-user requirements and streamline procurement and installation in regulated facilities.
Ultra Grip locking connectors like the AHL2130C reduce unplanned downtime by securing connections in high-vibration applications. The combination of a locking mechanism, robust nylon housing, and back-wiring capability lowers maintenance labor, extends service life, and simplifies field terminations. In practice, this translates to faster startups, fewer rework cycles, and a lower total cost of ownership for industrial facilities.
