Overview

The Woodhead Safeway® Flanged Inlet (SKU: 2874MB) is a locking-blade electrical connection solution designed for industrial and commercial applications requiring 250V power distribution. This 3-pole, 4-wire NEMA L14-30 inlet delivers 30A current handling with a 250V rating, making it ideal for heavy-duty equipment such as generators, welders, and industrial machinery. The flanged inlet features a Super-Safeway™ rubber housing (NEo-TEX Paracril OZO) for superior abrasion resistance, chemical exposure tolerance, and temperature stability from -40°C to 75°C. Internally, nickel-plated brass contacts and floating blade construction ensure self-alignment for reliable mechanical and electrical connections, minimizing wear and heat generation. Color-coded ¼" terminal screws (tri-drive compatible) simplify wiring, while a transparent wiring guide verifies proper strand placement before securing. Stainless steel captive screws and two-piece cord-clamp strain relief with tri-drive screws provide durable assembly and secure cord retention. UL File No. E10176 and CSA File No. LR6837 certified for safety and compliance.
