Watertight locking design provides secure, vibration-resistant connections in demanding industrial environments. This feature reduces moisture intrusion and corrosion, preventing intermittent faults and unscheduled downtime. It’s ideal for control panels, outdoor equipment, and washdown-ready manufacturing lines. Thermoplastic body with glass-filled nylon face delivers exceptional durability and chemical resistance in harsh conditions. Nickel-plated bronze contacts ensure low resistance and stable torque retention for reliable terminations. This construction supports long service life in vibration-heavy automation equipment and motors. Three-pole, four-wire L15-20 configuration provides 250 V, 20 A three-phase power for industrial loads. Locking mechanism prevents accidental disconnections during operation, improving safety and uptime. Back wiring simplifies field terminations with wire sizes from #14 to #8 AWG, enabling neat panel layouts. Torque ratings specify 14-16 lbf-in for #10-14 AWG and 20 lbf-in for #8 AWG, ensuring repeatable terminations. The back-wire method reduces install time and helps technicians meet torque requirements consistently. Compatibility with Eaton locking devices supports scalable, modular power distribution in industrial settings. IP67 environmental protection, along with compatible enclosure ratings such as NEMA 3, 12, 4 and 4X, supports rigorous washdowns and outdoor installations. NOM and cULus listings provide regulatory confidence for audits and compliance. The black color minimizes visibility of wear in demanding plant environments. Designed for extra heavy-duty industrial applications, L1520RWBK delivers reliability, ease of installation, and long-term cost savings. Its rugged construction and back-wiring capability align with modern automation architectures and panel standards. This receptacle is a practical choice for engineers seeking robust, code-compliant power connectivity in harsh or variable environments.
