FAQs

Yes. The AHL630C is designed as an L6-30 locking connector with a two-pole, three-wire arrangement and back-wiring capability. It integrates into standard L6-30 panel receptacles and mating plugs, providing a secure, vibration-resistant connection suitable for industrial power distribution and equipment panels. Ensure conductor range #16-8 AWG is used for best results.
The AHL630C is rated for 30A at 250V. It uses back wiring with a conductor range of #16-8 AWG and supports a two-pole, three-wire configuration. The device is Nylon-bodied, UL/cUL Listed, and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for rugged industrial environments and compliant with common electrical safety standards.
The AHL630C carries UL/cUL Listed recognition and RoHS compliance. UL/cUL Listed confirms electrical safety and performance for industrial equipment, enabling faster approvals in controlled environments. RoHS compliance ensures restricted hazardous substances are minimized in the product, supporting environmental and regulatory requirements across facilities and multi-site deployments.
Ultra Grip provides a robust locking mechanism that resists vibration and strong mechanical shocks, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection during equipment start-up or heavy-duty operation. This translates to lower maintenance intervals, reduced downtime, and enhanced operator safety in manufacturing lines, material handling systems, and power distribution setups.
The AHL630C measures approximately 4.19 inches in length, 2.31 inches in height, and 2.28 inches in width, with a weight of about 0.4 lb. These dimensions help technicians plan mounting clearances, panel cutouts, and space optimization when integrating into equipment enclosures or control panels.
