Leviton 2313-PLC Locking Connector L5-20R 125V 20A

Product Description

The LEVITON 2313-PLC is an industrial-grade locking connector configured to the L5-20R NEMA standard. It is rated for 125 volts and 20 amps across a single-phase, 2-pole, 3-wire circuit. The connector body is constructed from nylon with a self-grounding design, making it suitable for demanding jobsite and facility power distribution applications. The cord grip accommodates minimum cord diameters of 0.385 inches and maximum cord diameters of 0.780 inches. Electricians and facilities maintenance technicians install this connector where twist-lock retention is required to prevent accidental disconnection under load.

The 2313-PLC is used in industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty residential power distribution scenarios where an L5-20R locking female connector is required. Typical applications include generator cord sets, portable power distribution equipment, temporary power panels, and equipment hookups where vibration or incidental contact could dislodge a straight-blade connection. The black and white color scheme conforms to standard industrial wiring conventions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify with a meter before terminating any conductors. Follow the connector manufacturer's torque and cord-grip tightening sequence per the included instruction sheet. Do not exceed the rated 20A circuit ampacity for this connector.
