FAQs
To install the L1730PW, prepare conductors within #18-10 AWG, route them to the back-wired terminals, and tighten to the specified 20 lbf-in torque for each contact. Ensure the connector is fully mated and the sealing surfaces are clean before engagement. Use appropriate gaskets and chassis sealing methods to maintain IP67 protection in outdoor or washdown environments. This approach minimizes ingress risk and preserves performance over time.
The L1730PW uses a three-pole, four-wire configuration with nickel-plated brass contacts and a locking mechanism designed for 30A at 600V. Its IP67 rating, combined with NEMA configurations 4/4X/6/6P, ensures dependable operation in harsh environments. The design supports back wiring for secure terminations, delivering low contact resistance and reliable performance in demanding industrial motors and power distribution setups.
Yes. The L1730PW is intended for outdoor and washdown use due to its IP67 protection and broad environmental ratings (NEMA 4/4X/6/6P). Its yellow nylon body and Santoprene seal provide chemical resistance and durability in moisture-prone locations. It is well-suited for outdoor motors, pumps, conveyors, and other industrial equipment requiring a watertight, secure connection.
This locking plug is RoHS compliant and cULus listed, aligning with European and North American safety and environmental standards. These certifications help meet procurement requirements for regulated industries, ensure safe operation in hazardous locations, and simplify compliance in quality and reliability programs.
Using the L1730PW reduces downtime by providing a dependable, watertight connection that resists ingress in harsh environments. The back-wiring design speeds installation, while nickel-plated brass contacts maintain low resistance over time. Overall, this translates to fewer maintenance interruptions, longer service intervals, and a lower total cost of ownership for critical equipment.
