Eaton L1420RWBK Locking Receptacle - Watertight

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The L1420RWBK uses a thermoplastic body with glass-filled nylon faces to resist impact and chemical exposure, increasing panel life in harsh environments and reducing replacement costs in manufacturing lines. This translates to higher uptime in automotive, food & beverage, or packaging facilities where frequent washdowns occur. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Nickel-plated bronze contacts provide superior corrosion resistance and low contact resistance, improving connection reliability under continuous vibration and heavy loads typical of material handling and processing lines. This supports safer operation and minimizes arc faults in high-duty-duty cycles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Back wiring with #14-8 AWG capability simplifies field terminations, cutting installation time and enabling rapid panel upgrades in large electrical rooms or retrofit projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Locking receptacle design reduces accidental disconnections in conveyors and outdoor equipment, delivering consistent power delivery and reducing maintenance dispatches in harsh environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Environmental protection including IP66/NEMA 12, 3R, 4 and 4X ensures resistance to water, dust, and corrosion, supporting outdoor installations and washdown zones without additional enclosures. This aligns with compliance objectives for facilities requiring robust weatherproof electrical components. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The device is rated for 125/250 V and 20 A, enabling flexible configuration for industrial machinery that needs dual-voltage capability while maintaining a compact footprint in control panels and motor starter assemblies. The overall result is improved reliability, safer operation, and a lower total cost of ownership for electrical distribution systems in manufacturing, logistics, and process industries.
