Ultra grip locking design minimizes looseness in high-vibration environments, boosting uptime and reducing maintenance calls for power connections in data centers and manufacturing floors. The two-pole, three-wire arrangement simplifies wiring while maintaining a robust lock that resists accidental disconnects. In practice, customers see fewer field terminations failures, translating to lower service costs and predictable power delivery for critical loads. Back wiring with nylon body and brass contacts enables faster, cleaner terminations. The #16-8 AWG compatibility covers common control and power wiring, while the back-wiring method streamlines installation in crowded panels or enclosed enclosures. This reduces installation time by minutes per connection and lowers the risk of stranded conductors or mis-termination, improving overall project efficiency. The NEMA L25-30 configuration ensures correct mating with compatible receptacles, and the rugged design supports reliable operation across -40 to 60 °C. Cord diameter flexibility from 0.38 to 1.16 inches accommodates a range of field wiring scenarios, while the device’s data center device feature reinforces suitability for data-center devices and mission-critical equipment. RoHS compliance, cULus NOM certifications, and Federal Specifications W-C375 provide regulatory confidence across commercial and industrial deployments, reducing compliance risk and simplifying procurement. The 0.41 lb weight and compact nylon construction enhance panel density and ease of handling during installation and maintenance, delivering a lower total cost of ownership for rolling stock, machines, and enclosures.
