Locking connector
Watertight locking design delivers dependable protection against water and dust ingress, reducing corrosion risk and unplanned downtime in outdoor or washdown environments. Business impact: longer service life, fewer maintenance cycles, and lower lifecycle costs. Application: outdoor motors, pumps, conveyors, and outdoor control panels where IP67 protection is essential. The 30A, 480V rating supports medium-to-high load industrial equipment, enabling a broader range of motor and drive applications with a single connector family. Back wiring simplifies field installation and reduces wiring errors, cutting commissioning time and improving panel density. Compatibility with #18-10 AWG conductors and a 0.43-1.15 in cord diameter supports common field cables, while a 20 lbf-inch torque rating ensures secure termination and vibration resistance. The nickel-plated brass contacts and Nylon face/body construction offer robust wear resistance, even in high-use environments. Santoprene thermoplastic elastomeric sealants provide a resilient, weatherproof seal that maintains performance across temperature and humidity swings. Certifications such as RoHS and cULusListing reinforce regulatory compliance, while the extra heavy-duty industrial specification grade confirms suitability for demanding industrial settings. Dimensions—6.21 in length, 3.84 in height, 4.38 in width—with a weight of 1.025 lb, support easy handling and installation in crowded control panels or enclosures. This combination of mechanical, electrical, and environmental specs delivers measurable outcomes: faster installations, lower risk of moisture-related faults, and improved uptime across distributed motor and power-distribution applications.

FAQs
The L1630CW uses back wiring with a conductor range of #18-10 AWG. Use the specified torque (20 lbf-in) to secure nickel-plated brass contacts inside the Nylon body. Confirm the three-pole, four-wire configuration (L16-30) for 480 V environments and ensure enclosure sealing matches IP67 requirements. Proper seating of the Santoprene seal and correct wire sizing minimize heat buildup and improve reliability in vibration-prone applications.
This connector is rated for 30A at 480V in a 3Ø configuration, with IP67 protection and NEMA compatibility (6P, 4X, 4). It supports back-wiring for efficient field terminations and is designed for rugged industrial use, reducing the risk of arcing or moisture-related faults in motors, pumps, and conveyors.
Yes. The IP67 rating and NEMA 6P/4X/4 compatibility make it ideal for outdoor motors, pumps, conveyors, and other equipment exposed to dust, water spray, or wash-down environments. The yellow nylon housing and Santoprene seal provide durable, weather-resistant performance suitable for harsh industrial settings.
The L1630CW is RoHS compliant and cULus listed NOM, with IP67 environmental protection and NEMA compatibility. These certifications help ensure regulatory compliance in regulated facilities and align with safety and environmental standards common in industrial installations.
Nickel-plated brass contacts resist corrosion, and the Santoprene seal maintains watertight integrity over time, reducing maintenance frequency and downtime. The back-wire design speeds field terminations, supporting faster commissioning and ongoing reliability for high-use motors and power-distribution panels, yielding favorable total cost of ownership.
