Locking plug
Watertight locking design → Reduces moisture ingress and corrosion risk, lowering unplanned downtime in outdoor or washdown environments. This translates to higher equipment availability and safer operation in automotive, food & beverage, and process industries. Industrial applications such as motor drives and control panels benefit from a secure, vibration-resistant connection that stays locked under harsh conditions. Locking mechanism and NEMA L10-20 compatibility → Ensures a robust, field-installable connection that resists accidental disengagement, improving safety and reliability for plate-mounted or enclosure-integrated power distribution. Engineers can confidently deploy in classrooms, facilities, and manufacturing lines without rework. Back wiring method with #18-10 AWG → Simplifies field termination, speeds assembly, and reduces labor costs while maintaining a high-integrity termination. This is ideal for service or retrofit projects where technicians need quick yet compliant wiring. Material durability → Nylon body with Santoprene elastomeric sealing and nickel-plated brass contacts deliver chemical and abrasion resistance, extending service life in chlorinated, dusty, or humid environments. Maintenance cycles drop, and total cost of ownership improves in high-use installations. Environmental and safety compliance → RoHS, cULus listing, NOM support global sourcing and regulatory alignment. The product meets NEMA 4/6/6P/4X with IP67, enabling outdoor, wet, or washdown locations while maintaining performance. Cord flexibility and installation range → Cord diameter range 0.43-1.15 in and 0.43 to 1.15 in compatibility provide installation versatility for varied appliance leads and field modifications, reducing the need for adapters and stock variety.

FAQs
For back wiring, use conductors in the #18-10 AWG range and terminate per the catalog guidance. Ensure terminals are tightened to the 14-16 lbf-in torque range to secure nickel-plated brass contacts. The nylon body and Santoprene seal support reliable retention, while the back-wire approach enables fast field terminations without exposed conductors.
The L1020PWBK is rated for 20 A at 125/250 V, with a three-pole, three-wire (non-grounding) L10-20 NEMA configuration. It features IP67 environmental protection, RoHS compliance, and cULus listing, delivering safe operation in demanding industrial environments while supporting back wiring and a torque specification of 14-16 in-lbf.
Yes. The plug offers IP67 protection and is designed for harsh environments, including outdoor and washdown settings. Its NEMA L10-20 configuration, three-pole arrangement, and watertight sealing reduce moisture ingress and corrosion risk, helping maintain uptime in facilities with exposure to liquids, dust, or cleaning processes.
The L1020PWBK carries RoHS compliance and cULus Listing with NOM, aligning with electrical safety and environmental requirements. Its IP67 rating, along with applicable NEMA 4/6/6P/4X compatibility, supports compliance for industrial installations across multiple regions and markets.
The combination of a locking mechanism, durable nickel-plated brass contacts, and Santoprene sealing reduces maintenance frequency and downtime. With back wiring support for #18-10 AWG and IP67 protection, installations remain reliable in challenging environments, delivering lower maintenance costs and improved uptime over the life of industrial equipment.
