Eaton L1830PWBK Watertight locking plug - IP67
Part Number: L1830PWBK
Quick Summary
Eaton L1830PWBK watertight locking plug is a rugged power connector designed for industrial equipment in harsh environments. When wiring in wet, dusty, or vibration-prone areas, traditional plugs can loosen, corrode, or fail, causing downtime. This model combines IP67 protection, RoHS compliance, and cULus listing to deliver reliable performance and regulatory peace of mind. With a 30A, 120/208V rating in a L18-30, three-pole, four-wire configuration, back wiring capability, and a robust nylon body with Santoprene seal, it supports fast, secure installations. The result is reduced maintenance, lower replacement costs, and consistent uptime—critical factors for OEMs, panel builders, and service teams managing high-duty industrial equipment.

Watertight protection and robust sealing protect critical connections from water, dust, and immersion, reducing corrosion and maintenance costs while extending service life in washdown environments and outdoor installations. This translates to fewer field failures and lower lifecycle costs for industrial plants and equipment manufacturers. The 30A, 120/208V three-pole, four-wire configuration supports demanding loads typical of motors, pumps, and conveyors, enabling reliable power delivery with a compact footprint and minimizing panel space. Back wiring compatibility with #18-10 AWG conductors speeds up terminations, reduces field labor time, and improves installation consistency in dense electrical enclosures. Nickel-plated brass contacts deliver low resistance and high conductivity, enhancing current transfer and thermal performance under heavy-duty operation. The nylon face/body with a Santoprene seal adds chemical resistance and flexibility, improving durability in challenging environments. RoHS compliance and cULus listing provide assurance for regulatory and safety standards, supporting easier supplier qualification and project approval. In addition, the L18-30 NEMA configuration supports standardized connections across equipment lines, simplifying maintenance, inventory management, and replacement part compatibility in industrial settings.

FAQs
For back wiring with #18-10 AWG conductors, ensure power is off, use appropriate torque settings (14-16 lbf-in for #10-14 AWG; 20 lbf-in for #8 AWG), and follow standard safety practices. Mount on compatible enclosures, verify IP67 seals after wiring, and test for continuity and insulation resistance to confirm a secure, code-compliant connection.
Yes. The module is designed for 3ØY 120/208V operation with a 30A rating and L18-30 NEMA configuration, making it suitable for industrial motors, pumps, and other three-phase equipment commonly found in manufacturing and processing facilities.
The plug is RoHS compliant and cULus Listed, ensuring regulatory compliance for environmental and safety standards. The IP67 ingress protection rating provides robust dust and water resistance, supporting use in washdown environments and outdoor installations while reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
A nylon face/body with a Santoprene seal provides chemical resistance and flexible sealing, while nickel-plated brass contacts deliver durable, low-resistance current transfer. The combination supports reliable operation under vibration, moisture, and exposure to industrial chemicals, extending connector life and reducing unplanned downtime.
The locking mechanism minimizes accidental disconnections, IP67 sealing reduces ingress-related failures, and back-wiring expedites field terminations, lowering labor time. Together with RoHS and cULus compliance, these features reduce downtime, extend service intervals, and improve overall equipment uptime and return on investment.
