FAQs

The L1730PWBK is designed for back wiring with #18-10 AWG conductors, enabling fast, secure panel terminations. Its sturdy nickel-plated brass contacts ensure low resistance and reliable performance after multiple mating cycles. When planning installations, verify conductor size, torque limits, and enclosure ingress protection to maintain system integrity in harsh environments.
This plug features a three-pole, four-wire L17-30 configuration rated at 30A and 600V, ideal for three-phase motor and power distribution in industrial settings. Its IP67 sealing and rugged construction protect connections from dust and water ingress, ensuring stable operation in outdoor, washdown, or dirty environments commonly found in automation and manufacturing.
Yes. The L1730PWBK is RoHS compliant and cULus listed, meeting stringent safety and environmental standards. Its IP67 rating provides protection against immersion and dust, while its Ny lon body, Santoprene seal, and nickel-plated brass contacts offer chemical resistance and durable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Prioritize clean, secure terminations by following the back-wiring method for #18-10 AWG conductors and ensuring correct torque (20 lbf-in) on locking connections. Use compatible cables, avoid over-bending cords, and confirm IP67 seals are intact after assembly. These steps minimize vibration-induced loosening, moisture intrusion, and costly maintenance in automation equipment.
Typical applications include outdoor motor starters, washdown environments in food and beverage processing, packaging automation lines, and rugged control enclosures. The IP67-rated L1730PWBK provides reliable power connections for L17-30 3Ø systems, enabling robust performance in challenging environments while supporting efficient maintenance and compliance across industrial facilities.
