Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about NEMA NEMA L7-15R cords and connectors
The NEMA L7-15R 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 R identifies it as a female receptacle; it pairs only with the matching NEMA L7-15P.
The 15 A 277 V NEMA L7-15R 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 L7-15R is the locking female receptacle (socket-outlet or cord connector) and accepts only the matching NEMA L7-15P male plug. It is rated 15 A at 277 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 L7-15R 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 L7-15R 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.
