Locking plug · 50A 250V 2-pole 3-wire California standard · Eaton Arrow Hart CS8265EX
50A 250V California standard locking plug for 2-pole 3-wire industrial connections. Back-wire termination accepts approximately #10 to #6 AWG conductors and fits 0.44 to 1.06 in (11.1 to 26.9 mm) cord diameters for temporary power and equipment connections.
What this product is for
This industrial locking plug is used to terminate portable power cable where a secure 50A 250V twist-lock style connection is required in California standard, non-NEMA configurations. It is commonly selected for generators, temporary power distribution, entertainment power, and heavy-duty equipment connections.
Use for
Use for 2-pole 3-wire 250V applications requiring a locking male plug, back wiring, and a cord grip range of 0.44 to 1.06 in (11.1 to 26.9 mm). Suitable for copper conductors from approximately #10 to #6 AWG where the mating device uses the same California standard configuration.
Avoid for
Avoid for NEMA locking configurations, straight-blade devices, or applications that require a different pole-wire arrangement or voltage. Do not assume cross-compatibility with standard NEMA twist-lock devices.
Best for
Best for contractors and maintenance electricians needing a secure plug connection that resists accidental disconnect in industrial and temporary power setups. The locking design is especially useful where cords are moved, handled often, or exposed to vibration.
Installed in
Typically installed on portable cord ends feeding welders, distribution boxes, generators, stage power assemblies, and other heavy-duty 250V equipment in indoor or protected jobsite environments.
Why this product exists
This plug provides a higher-amperage locking connection for applications where a standard straight-blade plug could loosen or disconnect. The California standard pattern supports specific non-NEMA industrial power systems and helps match existing site equipment.
Compared with similar products
Compared with standard NEMA locking plugs, this device uses a California standard non-NEMA configuration, so matching the exact mating connector or receptacle is critical. Compared with lower-amperage locking plugs, the 50A rating supports heavier loads and larger portable cable sizes.
