Overview

The Woodhead Safeway® Connector with Locking Blade (SKU: 27T83YL) is a 4-pole/5-wire industrial-grade electrical connector rated for 3-phase, 600V systems. Designed for NEMA L23-20 applications, it features a durable NEo-TEX® Paracril OZO rubber body that resists abrasion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures from -40°C to 75°C. The floating blade construction ensures self-alignment for a secure mechanical and electrical connection, minimizing wear and heat generation. Color-coded ¼" terminal screws (pre-set open) accept straight blade, Phillips, or square-drive screwdrivers, while a transparent wiring guide verifies proper wire strand placement before tightening. The captive, tri-drive stainless steel speed screw enables quick assembly and long-term reliability. A two-piece cord-clamp strain relief with tri-drive screws secures cables firmly, and nickel-plated brass plug blades/contacts provide corrosion resistance. Ideal for power distribution systems, industrial machinery, and high-demand environments where safety and durability are critical.
