Overview

The Woodhead Watertite® Male Receptacle with Locking Blade (SKU: 68W47) delivers a rugged, weather-resistant power connection engineered for harsh industrial environments. This NEMA L5-30 rated receptacle supports 30 Amp, 125 Volt applications with a 2 Pole/3 Wire configuration, including grounding for enhanced safety. Its Watertite® design ensures superior ingress protection against water, dust, and corrosive elements, making it ideal for wet locations, high-pressure washdowns (up to 1000psi), and outdoor or marine applications. The locking blade mechanism prevents accidental disconnections, critical in high-vibration or mobile equipment scenarios. The single flip coverplate provides easy access while protecting the receptacle from contaminants when not in use. Key features include color-coded ¼" terminal screws for quick wiring, tri-drive screw terminals compatible with straight blade, Phillips, and square-drive drivers, and a transparent wiring guide to verify wire strand placement. The F3 body size (¾") accommodates standard cord grips, while the nickel-plated brass blades and stainless steel face screws ensure long-term durability. UL File No. E68122 and CSA File No. LR6837 certified, this receptacle meets NSF/ANSI/3-A 14159-1 standards for food processing and sanitary environments. Applications include manufacturing plants, construction sites, agricultural equipment, and utility services where reliable, protected power connections are essential.
