Overview

The Woodhead Super-Safeway® Locking Blade Connector (SKU: 2976) provides secure 3-phase power connections for industrial applications. This connector adheres to NEMA L16-30 standards, operating at 480V with a 30A rating and a 3-pole, 4-wire configuration. Its robust construction features a NEo-TEX® Paracril OZO rubber outer housing, offering superior resistance to abrasion, chemical exposure, and extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 75°C. The locking blade mechanism ensures a stable connection, preventing accidental disconnections and enhancing operational safety. Nickel-plated brass plug blades and connector contacts provide excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Wiring is simplified with color-coded, tri-drive terminal screws that accept straight blade, Phillips, and square-drive screwdrivers, complemented by a transparent wiring guide for verification. Stainless steel face screws and a zinc-plated steel cord clamp contribute to its long-term reliability. UL File No. E10176 and CSA File No. LR6837 certified.
