Overview

The Woodhead Safeway® Flanged Inlet (SKU 2848MB) delivers a secure, 30A, 250V power connection for heavy-duty industrial applications. This 2-pole, 3-wire inlet features a NEMA L6-30 configuration with a locking blade mechanism to prevent accidental disconnections, critical for machinery, generators, and welding equipment. Its flanged design enables secure mounting to panels or enclosures, ensuring reliable power transfer in demanding environments. Constructed with a NEo-TEX® Paracril OZO rubber body, the inlet resists abrasion, chemical exposure, and temperature extremes from -40°C to 75°C. The floating blade design self-aligns for optimal mechanical and electrical connections, reducing wear and heat generation. Tri-drive head stainless steel speed screws and a two-piece cord-clamp strain relief with tri-drive screws simplify assembly and secure cord retention. Wire screw terminals are tri-drive compatible with straight blade, Phillips, and square-drive screwdrivers. Applications include powering large machine tools, automated assembly lines, backup generators, and heavy-duty construction equipment. The NEMA L6-30 configuration ensures compatibility with standard L6-30 plugs, while the UL E10176 and CSA LR6837 certifications validate its safety and performance in industrial settings.
  • NEMA L6-30 configuration for 30A, 250V power connections
