About NEMA Plugs, Sockets, and Receptacles

Identify your power connector's NEMA type by matching its blades or slots to our diagram.

Turn-Lock Connectors

The curved blades lock into place with a quarter turn. These connectors won’t detach when bumped or pulled, so they’re often used in high-vibration applications, such as on assembly lines or with heavy machinery.

Plugs

Industrial—Reliable performance and long life in manufacturing and processing environments.

Premium—Built to handle tough, repetitive applications, these connectors are more durable than industrial ones.

Rubber Housing—Protect connectors from damage caused by drops and impact.

Power and Ground Presence Indicator—Check the status of your ground connection. A green light signals that connectors have power and are safely grounded. A red light indicates power only. The lights are visible from any angle for quick identification.

Washdown Turn-Lock Connectors

When mated, connectors are protected against corrosion and washdowns. All have a multiple-ring seal and rubber housing to keep out liquid. They resist heat, oil, and chemicals. A quarter turn locks them in place to remain secure in high-vibration applications and prevent accidental disconnection.

Plugs mate with female receptacles and sockets with an attached cover. Male receptacles mate with sockets without an attached cover.

CS6365 Plug

Avoid the cost and hassle of setting up multiple generators with these rugged, yet lightweight power distribution boxes. Plug one into a generator for small jobs, or chain several together to supply electricity to multiple rooms. Often used on construction sites, boxes have a heavy duty steel housing to stand up to demanding environments. They also handle a higher electrical load than standard power strips to run a wide range of devices, such as dehumidifiers, welders, floodlights, and other equipment. All have GFCI protection to minimize the risk of electric shock. Also known as spider boxes.
