Leviton Telcom LNR86-6Y Nema L6-15 Locking Connector 15A 250V

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM LNR86-6Y is a locking connector wired to the NEMA L6-15 configuration, rated for 15 amps at 250 volts. Locking connectors use a twist-and-lock blade design that physically secures the plug in place, preventing accidental disconnection under load or vibration. This connector is intended for use on branch circuits where a standard straight-blade connector would not provide adequate retention. Electricians and electrical contractors install this type of device on cord-and-plug connected equipment in commercial and industrial applications where circuit continuity under mechanical stress is required.

The L6-15 configuration is a two-pole, three-wire grounding twist-lock style rated at 250 volts, commonly found on HVAC equipment, portable power distribution, and light industrial machinery. This connector is suited for environments where cords are frequently connected and disconnected, or where equipment vibration could compromise a straight-blade connection. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for use by licensed electricians performing cord assembly or equipment wiring in both commercial and light industrial settings.

Key Features

• NEMA L6-15 locking configuration — two-pole, three-wire grounding
• Rated 15 amps at 250 volts for branch-circuit cord-and-plug applications
• Twist-and-lock blade retention prevents accidental disconnection under load or vibration
• Single-unit packaging suitable for individual cord assembly or replacement work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or field-wiring connector for cord-and-plug connected equipment requiring a NEMA L6-15 locking connector rated at 15 amps and 250 volts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit before disassembling any existing connector or terminating conductors. Follow the connector body markings and terminal designations when securing conductors — do not overtighten terminal screws beyond manufacturer guidance. Inspect the cord and strain relief after assembly to ensure the jacket is properly clamped and conductor terminations are secure before returning the circuit to service.
