Overview

The Woodhead Super-Safeway® Connector, SKU 2981, is engineered for reliable 3-phase 208V power connections. This 4-pole, 5-wire locking blade connector features a NEMA L21-30 configuration, suitable for industrial applications requiring secure power distribution. Its NEo-TEX® Paracril OZO rubber body offers superior resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, operating effectively between -40°C and 75°C. The floating blade construction ensures self-alignment, promoting better mechanical and electrical connections while minimizing wear and heat generation. Wire screw terminals are tri-drive compatible with straight blade, Phillips, and square-drive screwdrivers for versatile wiring. A transparent wiring guide aids in verifying strand placement, and captive, tri-drive Stainless Steel speed screws facilitate easy assembly. The two-piece cord-clamp strain relief with tri-drive screws provides a secure grip on the cord. Nickel-plated brass plug blades and connector contacts ensure conductivity. This connector meets UL File No. E10176 and CSA File No. LR6837. It is designed for cord diameters ranging from .425 to 1.150 inches and exhibits a maximum 30°C temperature rise at full rated current after overload testing.
