FAQs
Yes. The AHL2130PF supports back wiring and is suitable for nominal wire sizes #14-8 AWG, including flat cable up to five conductors. For best results, route conductors cleanly, insert into the back-wire terminals as shown in the datasheet, and ensure secure seating to maintain the 30A, 120/208V performance. Confirm conductor insulation and diameter are within the specified limits before finalizing the connection.
The device is a four-pole, five-wire locking plug configured for L21-30 with a 30A current rating and a voltage rating of 120/208V. It uses brass contact material and nylon housing, supports back wiring, and accepts up to #14-8 AWG conductors. It is designed for industrial use and operates from -40 to 60 °C, providing robust performance in harsh environments.
This locking plug excels in industrial power distribution across manufacturing lines, equipment racks, and control panels requiring secure, high-current connections. Its L21-30, four-pole configuration is common in heavy machinery, pumps, and motors deployed in environments with vibration, dust, or wide temperature ranges, contributing to safer, more reliable electrical distributions.
The AHL2130PF carries RoHS compliance and NOM cULus Listed certification, signaling adherence to environmental and safety standards. These certifications support regulatory alignment for electrical assemblies in many regions and help with compliance verification during audits and maintenance cycles.
Ultra Grip locking reduces the likelihood of accidental disconnects in high-vibration environments, lowering downtime costs and improving equipment availability. Combined with back-wired flat cable terminations and a durable nylon body, it minimizes rework, speeds up servicing, and extends service life for power distribution assemblies in demanding facilities.
