Overview

The Woodhead 420C9W 20 Amp Watertite® Pin & Sleeve Connector (SKU: 420C9W) is a 3 pole/4 wire, 250V-rated industrial connector with IP67 ingress protection against dust and temporary water immersion. It features a Type G nylon housing and brass pins for durability and conductivity. The flip lid allows quick terminal access while maintaining a secure seal. Key components include self-adjusting split contact sleeves, nickel-plated steel springs, and a latching mechanism for continuous electrical continuity and grounding under vibration. Internal and external strain relief systems minimize cable stress. Large, identified terminals support various conductor sizes, and the "onion ring" neoprene bushing accommodates multiple cable diameters. Certified to NEMA Type 4X for corrosive environments, it meets IEC 309-1, IEC 309-2, and NEC Section 410-56(g). Blue color coding indicates 250V systems. Applications include construction power distribution, portable processing equipment, utility substations, renewable energy installations, and manufacturing machinery feeds. Deadfront construction improves safety, and the keyway design ensures proper alignment during mating.
