Molex Brad 1705 Nema L5-15 to 5-15R Adapter 15A 125V

Product Description

The Molex Brad 1705 is a NEMA power adapter designed to convert a NEMA L5-15 locking male plug to a NEMA 5-15R straight-blade female receptacle. Rated at 15 amps and 125 volts, this adapter allows equipment with a locking L5-15 plug configuration to connect to standard straight-blade 5-15 outlets. It carries an IP67 environmental rating, meaning it is sealed against dust ingress and temporary submersion, making it suitable for demanding job site and industrial environments. Licensed electricians and facilities maintenance techs are the typical installers for this type of power adapter.

The 1705 adapter is used in commercial, industrial, and facilities applications where equipment with NEMA L5-15 locking plugs must interface with standard 5-15 outlet configurations. Common install scenarios include temporary power setups on construction sites, equipment staging areas, and facilities maintenance situations where locking-plug devices need to run from standard straight-blade circuits. The adapter is part of the Molex Safeway product line and is built for use in environments where moisture and particulate exposure are expected.
