Watertight locking design provides secure connections in washdown and dusty environments, reducing the risk of unplugging during operation and improving uptime with vibration resistance. The 30A, 480V three-pole, four-wire L16-30 configuration supports standard industrial loads, enabling efficient power distribution for motors and drives while meeting code requirements for large equipment. Back wiring with allowable #14-8 AWG conductors streamlines field termination, lowering installation time and indirect labor costs while enabling fast, repeatable terminations in cramped panels. The yellow thermoplastic housing with a glass-filled nylon body delivers chemical resistance and enduring durability under harsh conditions, contributing to lower replacement costs and safer worker interfaces. Nickel-plated bronze contacts provide reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance, supporting minimal voltage drop and consistent performance in demanding environments. Compliance features RoHS and NOM cULus listings reinforce regulatory alignment and traceability, reducing risk in regulated markets. The compact footprint (6.75 in L Ă 4.0 in W Ă 4.25 in H) and weight of 1.025 lb support flexible mounting options in control centers and rugged enclosures, while the locking design reduces accidental disconnections in conveyor and packaging lines. Overall, this receptacle offers a resilient, maintenance-friendly solution that meets the needs of industrial installers seeking durability, safety, and operational efficiency.

FAQs
The L1630RW uses back wiring with an allowable wire size of #14-8 AWG. This simplifies field terminations, reduces tool requirements, and enables quick, repeatable installations in rugged panels. For best performance, maintain proper strain relief and torque within the recommended ranges to ensure reliable, long-term connections in harsh conditions.
This receptacle is rated for 30A at 480V, compatible with three-phase systems. The L16-30 configuration provides three poles plus a grounding conductor, designed for heavy-duty industrial loads such as motors, drives, and large equipment connectors. Ensure matching plug-and- receptacle pairs and correct wiring to maintain safety and performance.
Yes. The unit features IP66 protection and NEMA ratings including 3, 4, 4X, 12, making it suitable for outdoor, washdown, and dusty environments. The watertight locking design prevents ingress and accidental disconnections, supporting reliable operation in factories, food and beverage lines, and outdoor equipment enclosures.
The L1630RW carries RoHS compliance and NOM cULus Listed certification, aligning with European and North American regulatory requirements. These certifications support compliance documentation, supplier qualification, and safer procurement decisions for regulated industrial environments.
Installation efficiency reduces downtime and labor costs thanks to back-wiring and a straightforward termination process. Durable materialsâglass-filled nylon body, thermoplastic housing, and nickel-plated bronze contactsâminimize wear and replacement needs, lowering maintenance and spare parts spend. The rugged design also supports longer service life in high-vibration, moisture-prone applications, improving return on investment over the equipment lifecycle.
