Overview

The Woodhead Safeway® Connector (SKU: 27T76) is a robust 3-pole, 4-wire (3P/4W) connector designed for demanding industrial applications. It features a NEMA L16-20 configuration, rated for 480V AC and 20A, ensuring reliable power delivery for heavy-duty equipment. The integrated locking blade mechanism provides a secure, tamper-resistant connection, crucial for preventing accidental disconnections in high-vibration environments. Constructed with industrial-grade materials, including NEo-TEX® Paracril OZO rubber for the Super-Safeway outer housing and nickel-plated brass contacts, this connector offers superior resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to 75°C). Its floating blade construction ensures self-alignment and minimizes wear, while the transparent wiring guide simplifies installation. The two-piece cord-clamp strain relief with tri-drive screws firmly secures the cord. Ideal for manufacturing, construction, mining, and oil & gas sectors, it connects machinery, power distribution systems, and heavy equipment. UL File E10176, CSA File LR6837.
