FAQs

The AHL620C is a two-pole, three-wire locking connector designed for L6-20 configurations and back wiring with #16-8 AWG conductors. It fits standard industrial power panels, portable power carts, and equipment with 250 V, 20 A loads, making it suitable for motors, drives, and control cabinets that require a secure, vibration-resistant connection.
The AHL620C supports 20A at 250V and uses the L6-20 locking configuration. It employs brass contact material for reliability, is intended for industrial use, and features back wiring suitable for #16-8 AWG conductors, enabling robust field terminations in demanding environments.
Yes. The AHL620C is RoHS compliant and cULus listed, which means it adheres to restrictions on hazardous substances and has North American safety listings. This simplifies regulatory compliance, supplier qualification, and audit processes for industrial projects.
The connector measures approximately 4.19 inches in length, 2.31 inches high, and 2.28 inches deep, with an approximate weight of 0.4 pounds. It supports back wiring for three conductors (two power conductors plus a ground) and accommodates cord diameters from 0.38 to 1 inch.
Ultra grip locking connectors provide secure interlocks that resist vibration, accidental disconnection, and thermal cycling common in industrial plants. They simplify maintenance, reduce downtime, and improve safety by maintaining a stable connection for L6-20 power supplies in panels, conveyors, and heavy machinery.
