NEMA Locking Power Cords

NEMA locking cord sets use a twist-lock plug that is inserted and rotated so the blades sit behind the socket contacts. The connection cannot vibrate loose or be pulled out, which is why they are used on stage rigs, generators, pumps and any equipment where an accidental disconnection would matter.

This range covers L5-15P, L5-20P, L5-30P, L6-15P, L6-20P, L6-30P, L7-15P, L7-20P, L8-20P, L14-20P and L14-30P patterns, supplied as plug-only cords or as plug and connector sets on SJT, STW, SOOW and similar jacketed cable.

NEMA Locking Power Cords

Who Buys This Range

  • Stage, event and rental companies building power distribution
  • Generator and pump equipment makers
  • Industrial machinery builders that need a secured supply cord
  • Data centre and equipment integrators using twist-lock outlets

Problems It Solves

  • The plug stays engaged under vibration and cable movement
  • Matched plug and connector sets so the whole run comes from one supplier
  • Jacketed cable grades that survive being dragged across a floor
  • Cord lengths built to the run rather than coiled and cable-tied

Typical Applications

  • Stage lighting and event power
  • Generators and portable power
  • Pumps, compressors and shop equipment
  • Industrial control panels

How These Are Built

Cord sets in this category are moulded on our own tooling with first class producing equipment and advanced mould processing equipment. Cable gauge and type, conductor count, cord length, jacket colour and the connector at the appliance end are all set on the order rather than fixed by a catalogue number. Complete OEM services are available and all products are RoHS compliant.
