Overview

The Woodhead Safeway® Connector with Locking Blade (SKU 27T74) is a 3-pole/4-wire NEMA L14-20 rated connector designed for 250V applications in industrial and commercial environments. This connector features a rugged nylon housing and nickel-plated brass plug blades/contacts for corrosion resistance and long service life. The floating blade construction ensures self-alignment for a secure mechanical and electrical connection, minimizing wear and heat generation during operation. Color-coded ¼" terminal screws are pre-set in the open position for quick wiring, compatible with straight blade, Phillips, and square-drive screwdrivers. A transparent wiring guide allows verification of wire strand placement before securing, while a captive tri-drive stainless steel speed screw enables easy assembly and long-term reliability. The two-piece cord-clamp strain relief with tri-drive screws firmly secures cords, preventing pull-out and maintaining connection integrity. Rated for continuous operation from -40°C to 75°C with a maximum 30°C temperature rise at full rated current, this connector meets UL File No. E38085 and CSA File No. LR6837 standards. Ideal for manufacturing plants, data centers, and high-demand facilities requiring dependable 250V power distribution.
