Leviton Mfg Co 002-3W102-0WH 15A Straight Blade Connector

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO 002-3W102-0WH is a 15-amp, 2-pole, grounded straight blade thermoplastic plug connector designed for fast field assembly and reliable everyday use. The clamp-tight, hinged body design allows a technician or electrician to open, seat the cord, and close the connector without specialty tools. The dimpled outer body gives a secure grip on the hinge closure, and the built-in cord grip adjusts automatically to accommodate different cord diameters. The thermoplastic housing resists moisture and common chemicals, making it a durable replacement option where connectors are exposed to light environmental stress.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a grounded 15-amp plug is required. Typical uses include replacement of damaged or worn connectors on power tools, household appliances, and extension cords. Electricians and maintenance technicians keep these on hand as a standard service item. The package contains 10 units, making it practical for shops and service vehicles that handle frequent cord-end replacements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC guidelines for cord-and-plug connections. Always de-energize the cord and confirm no voltage is present before disassembling or replacing the connector. Strip and prepare conductors to the appropriate length before seating them in the plug body, and verify the cord grip is fully engaged before closing the hinge. Do not exceed the 15-amp rating of the connector.
