Pass & Seymour L2130C 30A L2130 Connector, Nylon Shell, Black/White

The Pass & Seymour L2130C is a 30A L2130 locking connector featuring a black back and white front nylon 6 shell for impact and corrosion resistance. Built with a double dovetail design and industrial-strength brass alloy contacts, this connector is Federal Spec Listed and cULus Listed for demanding industrial and commercial wiring applications requiring dependable, code-compliant cord connections.

Key Features

  • Durable Construction: Impact- and corrosion-resistant durable nylon 6 shell material with black back and white front body.
  • Cord Retention: Double dovetail design provides superior protection against cord pull-out forces.
  • Ready-to-Wire: Quick-thread assembly screws and cord-grip screws come backed-out, ready-to-wire.
  • Sealed Wiring Chamber: Integral flexible rubber cord grommet conforms to and seals around SO cord to provide protection from oils, water, or chips entering the wiring chamber.
  • Visible Rating: Stamped NEMA configuration and device rating for easy field identification.
  • Job-Site Design: Rounded back contour reduces snags and hang-ups, while scallop shell design provides a non-slip gripping surface for insertion and withdrawal.
  • Secure Locking: Raised ribs provide a non-slip gripping profile for turning to lock and unlock, and new-design external cord grips provide visible assurance of safe and proper cord retention.
  • Conductivity: Industrial-strength brass alloy plug blades and connector contacts resist heat rise and provide excellent conductivity.

Pass & Seymour L2130-C – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What NEMA configuration and voltage does the Pass & Seymour L2130C connector accept?
The L2130C is a NEMA L21-30 twist-lock connector rated 30A. L21-30 is a 5-wire configuration, three hot legs plus neutral and ground, used on 120/208V three-phase wye circuits. It only mates with L21-30 plugs and inlets, so a cord end with any other locking pattern will not go in. The NEMA configuration and device rating are stamped on the shell for field identification.
2) Is the L2130C connector the female cord end, or does it mount in a panel?
It is the female cord-mounted end, the connector body that goes on a flexible cord and accepts a matching L21-30 plug. It is not a panel-mount receptacle or inlet, so if you need a device that bolts into an enclosure or a generator panel, you want an L21-30 flanged inlet or outlet instead, not this cord connector.
3) Can I use the L2130C to replace an existing L21-30 locking connector on a cord?
Yes. Replacement or retrofit of existing L2130 locking devices is one of its stated applications. Because the NEMA pattern is fixed, any existing L21-30 cord end can be swapped for this one and will still mate with the same plugs and inlets. The assembly screws and cord-grip screws come backed out ready to wire, so you are not fighting hardware in the field.
4) I need a connector for a hospital or a standard 15A/20A cord, not a 30A twist-lock. What should I look at instead?
The L2130C is a 30A locking device and will not serve a straight-blade 15A or 20A cord. For hospital grade straight blade work, ZenSupply carries the Bryant 8269T, a hospital grade NEMA 5-15R connector, and the Leviton 8319-C, a hospital grade NEMA 5-20R connector in black. For general 20A industrial cord ends there is the Leviton industrial grade 3-wire 2-pole 125V 20A straight blade connector, and for rough service the Eaton Arrow Hart Severe Duty straight blade connector, 15A 125V NEMA 5-15R.
5) Can a Leviton 15W33 straight blade connector be used in place of the Pass & Seymour L2130C?
No. The Pass & Seymour L2130C is a 30A L2130 locking connector, and the NEMA L2130 configuration twists into a matching locking plug or inlet. The Leviton 15W33 is an industrial grade straight blade connector rated 125V 20A, 3-wire 2-pole, so its blade pattern and rating will not mate with an L2130 cord cap. Match the NEMA configuration stamped on the existing device before substituting.
6) We need a connector for a patient care area cord set instead of the L2130C. What should we look at?
The Pass & Seymour L2130C is an industrial locking connector with a nylon 6 shell, Federal Spec Listed and cULus Listed, but it is not a hospital grade device. For patient care circuits, the Bryant 8269T is a hospital grade NEMA 5-15R connector and the Leviton 8319-C is a hospital grade NEMA 5-20R connector in black. Choose the 5-15R or 5-20R to match the receptacle configuration and amperage of the cord being terminated.
7) Will the L2130C seal against water and oil on a job site or in a shop?
The wiring chamber is sealed by an integral flexible rubber grommet that conforms around SO cord, which keeps oils, water, and chips out of the terminal area. The shell is nylon 6, chosen for impact and corrosion resistance. That makes it suited to shop floors, portable power equipment, and construction power distribution. It is a sealed-chamber industrial connector, not a watertight or wet-location rated device, so for a continuously wet or outdoor exposed location use a watertight locking connector.
8) Is the Pass & Seymour L2130C approved for government and federal work?
It is Federal Spec Listed and cULus Listed, which covers both federal procurement specs and US/Canada safety listing. That combination is what institutional and government procurement typically asks for on cord connectors. Country of origin is Mexico, which matters if your contract carries domestic-sourcing language.
9) How does the L2130C hold the cord so it doesn't pull out under load?
Two things do the work: a double dovetail shell design that resists cord pull-out forces, and external cord grips that let you see the cord is properly clamped before you energize it. Brass alloy contacts inside resist heat rise on a sustained 30A draw. For crews dragging cords across a site, the rounded back contour cuts down on snags and the scallop shell and raised ribs give you grip for twisting it to lock and unlock.
10) Is there a connector better suited than the L2130C for a wet or wash-down jobsite cord?
The Pass & Seymour L2130C already addresses contamination with an integral flexible rubber cord grommet that seals around SO cord to keep oils, water, and chips out of the wiring chamber, plus an impact- and corrosion-resistant nylon shell. If the cord set is a 15A 125V straight blade NEMA 5-15R rather than a 30A locking configuration, the Eaton Arrow Hart severe duty connector covers that configuration in a severe duty grade. The deciding factor is the NEMA configuration of the mating device, not the environment alone.
11) What is the difference between the industrial grade of the L2130C and a hospital grade connector?
The Pass & Seymour L2130C is built for industrial and commercial cord connections with brass alloy contacts, a double dovetail cord grip, and Federal Spec plus cULus listing. Hospital grade devices such as the Bryant 8269T and the Leviton 8319-C carry a hospital grade rating, which is the designation specified for patient care spaces. The Leviton 15W33 carries an industrial grade designation. Pick the grade your drawing or facility code calls out for the space.
12) How do I identify the Pass & Seymour L2130C when ordering, and how do I tell it apart in a bin?
Order it by manufacturer part number L2130-C from Pass & Seymour. In a parts bin it is the one with a black back and white front nylon shell, and the NEMA configuration and 30A rating are stamped right on the body. Only one model is offered, so there is no finish or color option to specify.
13) What size is the L2130C body for fitting it into a strain-relief or a tight enclosure knockout?
Product length is 3.33 inches and product width is 2.2 inches. Those are the figures to work from when you are checking clearance behind a panel or inside a cord reel housing.
