Eaton L720CW Watertight Locking Connector - IP67

Watertight locking design provides IP67 and enclosure protection for power connections, keeping moisture and contaminants out of critical joints and preventing corrosion of the contacts. This directly reduces field failures, extends connector life, and lowers maintenance costs in harsh environments. The L720CW is well-suited for industrial equipment, outdoor machinery, and washdown areas where reliable power delivery is essential. Two-pole, three-wire configuration with L7-20 standards supports 20A at 277V and uses a secure locking mechanism to resist vibration and accidental disconnection. The back wiring option simplifies field terminations and minimizes installation errors, while a torque rating of 14-16 in-lbf ensures a proper seal without over-tightening. This combination delivers dependable connections for motors, pumps, conveyors, and other demanding loads in challenging facilities. Durable materials include a Nylon face/body, nickel-plated brass contacts, and a Santoprene elastomeric seal. These choices deliver abrasion resistance, chemical tolerance, and long-term corrosion resistance in production floors, chemical plants, and outdoor installations. The yellow color aids quick identification in complex cable layouts and reduces mis-wiring risk during maintenance. The design also supports ease of inspection and replacement when service intervals occur. Environmental resistance covers NEMA 4X, NEMA 6, NEMA 6P, and IP67, supporting both indoor and outdoor use in wet, dusty, or washdown conditions. Operators gain fewer enclosure-related faults and less downtime due to ingress, while technicians appreciate standardized mounting and compatibility with common electrical boxes. This makes the L720CW a strong fit for conveyors, mixers, and power distribution cabinets in diverse facilities. Compliance and traceability are supported by RoHS compliance and cULus listing, aligning with stringent safety and environmental standards. For project engineers, this reduces regulatory risk and speeds approvals, while procurement benefits from a standardized, readily available component with predictable lead times and parts availability. The connector is designed for industrial uptime and long service life. Compatibility and installation advantages include back wiring for #18-10 AWG conductors, a wire-diameter range of 0.36-0.84 inches, and a product length of 6.86 inches. The color yellow enhances visibility in crowded panels, while the 1.025 lb weight supports secure mounting without excessive strain. Overall, the L720CW combines rugged construction with straightforward termination to minimize commissioning time and maximize uptime.
