Leviton Telcom MT563-SR 5-20R Locking Receptacle

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM MT563-SR is a 5-20R tamper-resistant, industrial-grade locking receptacle designed for demanding electrical installations. This receptacle features a locking configuration that prevents accidental disconnection, making it well suited for environments where secure, uninterrupted power connections are critical. The tamper-resistant design includes internal shutters that block access to contacts unless a proper plug is inserted, meeting safety code requirements for many commercial and industrial applications. Licensed electricians typically specify this device where code or facility standards call for both tamper resistance and positive locking retention.

This receptacle is intended for commercial and industrial electrical installations where standard duplex outlets do not provide adequate retention or safety. Typical applications include manufacturing floors, server rooms, healthcare facilities, and other settings requiring a secure, code-compliant 5-20R outlet. The industrial-grade construction supports continuous-duty use in high-traffic or high-demand environments.
