Pass & Seymour L830C Turnlok 4-Wire Locking Connector, Nylon

The Pass & Seymour L830C Turnlok® connector is a 4-wire, 120/208Volt NEMA L18 locking device engineered for demanding cord-connection applications, available in Motor FLA ratings from 20A to 30A to match the load requirements of the circuit. Featuring a durable nylon 6 shell with a black back and white front body, this connector combines corrosion resistance, positive cord retention, and easy field wiring for industrial and commercial electrical work.

Key Features

  • Electrical Rating: 4-Wire, 120/208Volt configuration available in Motor FLA ratings of 20A and 30A for reliable power transfer across demanding circuits.
  • Durable Construction: Impact- and corrosion-resistant nylon 6 shell material stands up to jobsite abuse.
  • Turnlok® Locking Design: Raised ribs provide a non-slip gripping profile for turning to lock and unlock the connection securely.
  • Cord Protection: Integral flexible rubber cord grommet conforms to and seals around SO cord, protecting against oils, water, or chips entering the wiring chamber.
  • Visible Safety Assurance: Stamped NEMA L18 configuration and device rating plus external cord grips give visible confirmation of safe, proper cord retention.
  • Ready-to-Wire Design: Quick-thread assembly screws and cord-grip screws come backed-out for faster installation.
  • Ergonomic Shell: Rounded back contour reduces snags on the job, while the scallop shell design offers a non-slip grip for insertion and withdrawal.
  • Contact Materials: Industrial-strength brass alloy plug blades and connector contacts resist heat rise and provide excellent conductivity, backed by a double dovetail design that resists cord pull-out forces.

Pass & Seymour L1820-C – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Pass & Seymour L830C Turnlok connector a NEMA L18 configuration, and what voltage does it run?
The L830C Turnlok is a 4-wire NEMA L18 locking connector rated 120/208V, with the NEMA L18 configuration and device rating stamped on the shell so an inspector can read it without pulling the cord apart. Two Motor FLA ratings are offered: L1820-C at 20A and L830-C at 30A. NEMA L18 is a 3-phase 4-wire configuration (three hots plus neutral, no equipment ground), so it only mates with an L18 plug or inlet of the same amperage.
2) Which part number do I order, L1820-C or L830-C?
It comes down to the amperage of the circuit and the plug already on the equipment. L1820-C is the 20A Motor FLA version, L830-C is the 30A. Both are 4-wire 120/208V Turnlok connectors in the same nylon 6 shell. A 20A L18 plug will not mate with a 30A L18 connector, so match the amperage to the device cord, not to the breaker alone.
3) What is the closest alternative to the Pass & Seymour L830-C for a 4-pole 20A three-phase cord connection?
The Pass & Seymour Turnlok family covers the 4-wire 120/208V configuration itself with the L1820-C at a 20A Motor FLA rating and the L830-C at 30A, both in a nylon 6 shell and UL Listed. If you need a different pole/wire count at 20A, the Leviton 2323 is a 5-wire 4-pole industrial grade locking connector rated 20A - note that is five wires rather than four, so the wiring device configuration is not interchangeable with the Turnlok 4-wire device even though the amperage matches.
4) What locking connector should I use for a 30A 250V two-pole circuit instead of the Pass & Seymour Turnlok L830-C?
The L830-C is built for 4-wire 120/208V service, so it is the wrong device for a straight 250V two-pole feed. For that opening, the Leviton 2443 is an industrial grade locking connector rated 250V 30A, two-pole three-wire, and the Eaton Arrow Hart Ultra Grip L530C is a 30A two-pole three-wire nylon connector in the L6-30 series.
5) Will this locking connector hold up in a machine shop with coolant and metal chips around?
That is the environment it is built for. The nylon 6 shell resists impact and corrosion, and an integral flexible rubber grommet conforms and seals around SO cord to keep oils, water, and chips out of the wiring chamber. External cord grips and a double dovetail contact design resist cord pull-out. Brass alloy contacts handle the heat rise on continuous industrial loads.
6) Is the Pass & Seymour Turnlok connector UL Listed for commercial and government work?
It is UL Listed and also Federal Spec Listed, which is what most government and institutional specs call out for cord-connected locking devices. Country of origin is Mexico, useful if your project has sourcing documentation requirements.
7) Is the Eaton 7506 a substitute for a Pass & Seymour Turnlok L830-C?
No. The Eaton 7506 is an L1-15 locking connector in black, an extra heavy-duty industrial specification grade device for a 15A two-wire configuration. The Pass & Seymour L830-C is a 4-wire 120/208V Turnlok connector with a 30A Motor FLA rating, so the two are not electrically or mechanically interchangeable.
8) How hard is this to wire up in the field with gloves on?
The assembly screws and cord-grip screws ship backed out, so you are not chasing threads before you start. Raised ribs and a scallop shell give a non-slip grip for turning to lock, and the rounded back contour keeps the body from snagging when the cord gets dragged. Quick-thread assembly on the shell halves speeds reassembly.
9) What color is the L830C Turnlok connector body?
Black back with a white front body on the Turnlok shell, catalogued under black as the product color. The NEMA configuration and rating are stamped into the shell for visible field confirmation.
