Leviton 171-5266-C Industrial Straight Blade Plug, NEMA 5-15P

Leviton 171-5266-C Industrial Straight Blade Plug

The Leviton 171-5266-C is a heavy-duty straight blade plug engineered for industrial environments requiring consistent, safe, and reliable electrical connections. Built from high-impact modified nylon, it withstands harsh conditions including chemicals, sunlight, and rough handling while maintaining strong performance under demanding use.

Why It Helps
Its durable housing, ergonomic fluted body, and radial gripping edge make cord insertion and removal secure and comfortable. The isolated wiring chambers and dead-front containment barrier enhance safety by preventing accidental contact and reducing the risk of arcing. High-conductivity solid brass contacts minimize heat buildup and deliver long-term electrical reliability.

Key Highlights

• Rugged industrial construction provides impact resistance and protection in harsh work environments, ensuring lasting performance.

• Ergonomic grip design with a fluted body and radial gripping edge supports easy handling and quick plug removal.

• Enhanced electrical safety comes from isolated conductor chambers and a dead-front containment barrier preventing accidental contact.

• High-conductivity solid brass contacts offer a large surface area to reduce friction, overheating, and connection wear.

• Fast installation with deep-funneled, chamfered wire wells and triple-drive fast-threading screws that simplify wiring.

• Clear identification with permanently marked catalog and NEMA information on the body and cord clamp.

Applications
Ideal for industrial equipment, power tools, extension cords, facility maintenance, and commercial machinery requiring a reliable NEMA 5-15P plug connection. Its durable construction and secure strain relief provide long service life in demanding operational environments.
