Locking Power Plug for Harsh Environments
The Molex Watertite 1301470073 is a NEMA L5-30P locking power plug designed for portable power distribution in demanding outdoor and industrial environments. It carries 3 positions rated 30A at 125VAC, with an IP67 rating that seals the connection dust-tight and waterproof when mated to the matching receptacle. The locking blade mechanism prevents accidental disconnection under vibration or cable pull, while the built-in cord grip, strain relief, and UV-resistant housing make it suitable for generator feeds, job-site power boxes, and marine shore-power applications.
The closest functional peer in the same family is the 1301440078, a NEMA 5-15P plug rated 15A at 125V. Both are 3-position, free-hanging, screw-terminated plugs with CSA/UL listing, but the 1301440078 uses a different blade pattern (NEMA 5-15P) and lacks the locking blade and IP67 sealing. The 1301470073 cannot drop into a panel wired for the 15 A sibling — the receptacle and the current rating are different. Choose the 1301470073 when the circuit requires 30 A capacity and a locking, weatherproof connection.
