Overview

The Woodhead Watertite® Connector (SKU: 27W48MB) is a robust electrical connector designed for reliable performance in demanding industrial and commercial settings. This male receptacle features a locking blade mechanism for secure connections and adheres to the NEMA L6-20 configuration, specifying 2 poles and 3 wires with a 250V rating. Its construction utilizes NEo-TEX® Paracril OZO rubber for the outer housing and grommet, nickel-plated brass for blades and contacts, and stainless steel face screws for durability. The Lexan* face insert and coverplate offer additional protection. This connector is rated for NEMA 1, 3, 4, 4X, 5, 6, 6P, and 12 environments, and achieves IEC IP ratings of IP55 through IP67. It operates reliably between -40°C and 75°C. The floating blade construction ensures self-alignment for better mechanical and electrical connections, minimizing wear. A transparent wiring guide aids in verifying wire placement before securing. The three-piece strain relief seals the cord effectively without damage. Applications include power distribution in manufacturing plants and connection points for heavy machinery where moisture, dust, or chemicals are present. It is UL recognized (E68122) and CSA certified (LR6837).
