Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about NEMA NEMA L7-15P cords and connectors
The NEMA L7-15P is a NEMA locking connector rated 15 A at 277 V, 2-pole, 3-wire (grounded), for single-phase circuits. The L-prefix indicates a twist-locking connector that must be inserted and rotated to secure it, preventing accidental disconnection under vibration. The trailing P identifies it as a male plug; it pairs only with the matching NEMA L7-15R.
The 15 A 277 V NEMA L7-15P is typically used for locking 277 V commercial lighting and industrial circuits on 480Y/277 V systems. Selecting the correct 15 A 277 V locking 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 L7-15P is the locking male plug, typically fitted on the end of a power cord or equipment inlet lead, and it only mates with a matching NEMA L7-15R female receptacle (socket-outlet or cord connector). It carries 15 A at 277 V in a 2-pole, 3-wire (grounded) configuration, so the outlet, wiring and overcurrent protection must all be rated for at least 15 A.
No. NEMA connectors are keyed by voltage, current, phase and grounding, so the NEMA L7-15P mates only within its own 15 A 277 V family. The L7 is keyed for 277 V and will not mate with 125 V L5, 250 V L6 or 480 V L8 locking connectors. 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 L7-15P 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.
