Leviton 5466-CA Industrial Straight Blade Plug 20A 250V

Product Description

The LEVITON 5466-CA is an industrial-grade angled straight blade plug rated for 20 amps at 250 volts. It features a NEMA 6-20P configuration with 2 poles and 3 wires, making it a standard choice for commercial and industrial power connections. The body is constructed from nylon, offering resistance to chemicals, corrosion, impact, and UV exposure. The self-grounded design simplifies field wiring and reduces the chance of miswiring. Electricians and maintenance technicians install this plug on cord-end assemblies for equipment, machinery, and tools operating on 250-volt single-phase circuits.

This plug is suited for industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and heavy-duty workshop environments where 250-volt 20-amp service is required. The angled configuration allows for a lower-profile connection, which can help reduce strain on the cord in tight installations. It is commonly installed on portable equipment cords, replacement plug applications, and hard-wired service cord assemblies by licensed electricians following NEC guidelines.

Key Features

• NEMA 6-20P configuration rated at 20A and 250V for single-phase circuits
• Angled plug body reduces cord stress and fits flush in space-constrained locations
• Self-grounded construction simplifies wiring and supports reliable ground continuity
• Nylon body provides chemical, corrosion, impact, and UV resistance for harsh environments
• Meets multiple standards including UL 498, CSA C22.2 No. 42, NEMA WD-6, ANSI C-73, and NOM 057
• 2-pole, 3-wire design compatible with standard 250-volt grounded circuits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation straight blade plug for industrial and commercial 250-volt 20-amp grounded cord-end applications using the NEMA 6-20P configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 406 and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit completely before disassembling or wiring the plug. Use the correct conductor gauge for the 20-amp rating and ensure all terminals are fully seated before closing the plug body. Inspect the cord and strain relief for damage before returning the assembly to service.
