Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about NEMA NEMA 6-15R cords and connectors
The NEMA 6-15R is a NEMA connector rated 15 A at 250 V, 2-pole, 3-wire (grounded), for single-phase circuits. It uses the standard NEMA non-locking straight-blade configuration. The trailing R identifies it as a female receptacle; it pairs only with the matching NEMA 6-15P.
The 15 A 250 V NEMA 6-15R is typically used for 250 V equipment such as welders, plasma cutters, compressors, large air conditioners and industrial machines. Selecting the correct 15 A 250 V connector ensures the contacts and cable can carry the load without overheating and that the single-phase supply is connected with the proper grounding and polarity.
The NEMA 6-15R is the female receptacle (socket-outlet or cord connector) and accepts only the matching NEMA 6-15P male plug. It is rated 15 A at 250 V in a 2-pole, 3-wire (grounded) configuration, and it supplies power to the connected cord or equipment only when the correctly keyed 15 A plug is inserted.
No. NEMA connectors are keyed by voltage, current, phase and grounding, so the NEMA 6-15R mates only within its own 15 A 250 V family. 6-series connectors are keyed for 250 V and will not mate with 125 V 5-series connectors, preventing a dangerous voltage mismatch. When two configurations must be joined, use a properly rated, UL-listed adapter or cord set, and never exceed the lowest current rating in the chain.
Yes. We manufacture UL/cUL and ETL listed NEMA 6-15R cord sets, rewireable plugs and receptacles, and molded connectors using RoHS, REACH, PAHS and Proposition 65 compliant cable, with custom lengths, wire gauges, jacket colors, strain relief and labeling. MOQ is typically 200-1000 pieces, samples ship in 7-15 days and bulk production takes 15-20 working days.
