Watertight Straight Blade Connector

This Hubbell Wiring Device-Kellems connector provides a weatherproof electrical connection rated for 15 A at 125 V AC. It uses a straight 5-15R configuration with two poles and three wires for single-phase power. The yellow housing is built to resist corrosion, moisture and UV exposure for general use.

15 A 125 V AC rating and 5-15R configuration

The connector carries a 15 A current rating at 125 V AC with a NEMA 5-15R receptacle layout. It accepts cable diameters from 0.38 in to 0.63 in and terminates wires with screw terminals. A press-on cap seals the connection when not in use.

Screw terminals and press-on cap for field wiring

Installation requires stripping conductors and securing them under the screw terminals, then fitting the press-on cap to maintain the watertight seal. The cable must fall within the 0.38 in to 0.63 in range; oversized or undersized cord will prevent a proper seal. Buyers needing a locking NEMA configuration or higher amperage cannot use this connector.
