Overview

The Woodhead Safeway® Adapter (SKU: 1740) provides a direct power interface between NEMA 1-15 receptacle (female, 15A/125V) and NEMA L5-20 plug (male, 20A/125V). This adapter is engineered for industrial environments where equipment power requirements differ from available sources, such as connecting older 15A/125V devices to 20A/125V circuits. It features a 2-pole, 3-wire (2P+G) configuration with grounding for safety compliance, meeting OSHA and NEC standards for industrial power distribution. The adapter uses NEo-TEX® Paracril OZO rubber for abrasion, chemical, and temperature resistance (-40°C to 75°C), ensuring durability in harsh conditions like construction sites, manufacturing floors, and warehouses. The floating blade construction in the NEMA L5-20 plug ensures self-alignment and consistent mechanical/electrical connections, reducing wear and heat buildup during prolonged use. Rated for 15A/125V on the receptacle side and 20A/125V on the plug side, it supports temporary or flexible power distribution without permanent wiring changes.
