What is a NEMA 6-20P power cord with stripped free ends?

The NEMA 6-20P is a North American male plug rated 20A 250V, used for 250 V tools, compressors, welders and commercial equipment; the free end is supplied with the outer jacket removed and the conductors stripped and prepared for direct wiring into equipment or a terminal block. It is UL/cUL (and where marked ETL) listed with RoHS/REACH/PAHS/Prop 65-compliant cable.

What does 'outer jacket removed' (bare leads) mean on this cord?

The free end is supplied with the outer jacket stripped and the conductors prepared (tinned, or with terminals on request) so the cord can be wired directly into equipment or a terminal block rather than ending in a plug.

What does the NEMA 6-20P mate with, and which devices use it?

A NEMA 6-20P mates with the matching NEMA 6-20R of the same rating. It is typically used for 250 V tools, compressors, welders and commercial equipment; always match the amperage and voltage to the equipment and circuit.

Is the NEMA 6-20P grounded?

Yes, the NEMA 6-20P includes an earthing/grounding pin and must be used with a matching grounded outlet; do not remove or bypass the ground pin.
