Overview

The Woodhead Super-Safeway® Locking Blade Connector (SKU 2977) is a 3-pole, 4-wire industrial-grade connector designed for 600V, 3-phase applications. Engineered to meet NEMA L17-30 standards, it delivers reliable power connections in heavy-duty environments such as industrial machinery, generators, and welding equipment. The connector features a NEo-TEX® Paracril OZO rubber outer housing, providing superior resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to 75°C). Its floating blade construction ensures self-alignment for optimal mechanical and electrical connections, reducing wear and heat generation. The tri-drive terminal screws (¼") are pre-set and compatible with straight blade, Phillips, and square-drive screwdrivers, simplifying installation. A transparent wiring guide verifies proper wire seating, while a two-piece cord-clamp strain relief with tri-drive screws secures cords to prevent stress on internal connections. UL File No. E10176 and CSA File No. LR6837 certified, this connector is built for durability and long-term performance in demanding industrial settings.
