Leviton R50-515CV-LIT 15A Illuminated Grounded Connector

Product Description

The LEVITON MFG CO R50-515CV-LIT is a residential-grade, illuminated, grounded straight blade connector designed for use on extension cords and portable wiring applications. Built with a rubber back that resists moisture, chemicals, and physical abuse, this connector holds up in demanding environments. A green neon indicator light confirms that power is flowing through to the cord, giving technicians and installers a quick visual status check. Deep-slotted, backed-out terminal screws pull backwire clamps firmly over stripped leads, ensuring maximum conductivity and a secure termination. Rated at 15 amps, this 2-pole connector suits both indoor and outdoor installations.

This connector is appropriate for residential and light commercial wiring tasks where a field-installed, grounded cord end is required. The illuminated feature makes it especially practical in low-light environments or where quick power-status confirmation is needed without a separate tester. Electricians and maintenance technicians typically use this connector when assembling or replacing cord ends on portable equipment, extension cords, or temporary power drops. The rubber construction provides durability on job sites where connectors are exposed to dirt, moisture, and repeated handling. Each package contains 5 units.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for cord and plug connections.

Strip leads to the length specified by the terminal design and seat the backwire clamps fully before tightening terminal screws. Do not exceed the 15-amp rating of this connector when selecting circuits or load applications.
