Overview

The Woodhead Watertite® Male Receptacle (SKU: 68W49) is a rugged, NEMA L7-30 rated electrical connector designed for 30A, 277V applications in harsh industrial environments. This 2-pole, 3-wire (2P+G) receptacle features a locking blade mechanism for secure, tamper-resistant connections, preventing accidental disconnections that could disrupt critical operations. The single flip coverplate provides easy access while maintaining IP-rated protection against dust, moisture, and high-pressure washdowns up to 1000psi, making it ideal for wet locations, washdown areas, and outdoor installations. Constructed with nickel-plated brass blades and contacts, stainless steel face screws, and NEo-TEX® Paracril OZO rubber housing, the 68W49 delivers superior corrosion resistance and durability in chemical exposure, extreme temperatures, and physical impact scenarios. The F3 body size (¾" diameter) accommodates heavy-duty wiring with color-coded ¼" terminal screws preset in open position for quick installation. Tri-drive wire terminals accept straight blade, Phillips, and square-drive screwdrivers, while a transparent wiring guide ensures proper strand alignment before securing. UL File No. E10176 (Plug/Connector) and E68122 (Receptacle), CSA File LR6837, and NSF/ANSI/3-A 14159-1 certified, this receptacle meets NEMA 1, 3, 4, 4X, 5, 6, 6P, and 12 environmental ratings. Applications include powering industrial generators, large motors, welding equipment, and high-power machinery in manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and construction sites. The floating blade construction minimizes wear and heat generation, while the three-piece strain relief system seals cords without damage. Trust Woodhead’s legacy of reliability for critical power connectivity in demanding settings.
