PLUG & OUTLET GUIDE

NEMA – National Electrical Manufactures Association

NEMA connectors are AC power plugs and receptacles used for utility power in North America and other countries

that use the standards set by the U.S. National Electrical Manufacturers Association. Some types are found in nearly all

buildings in the United States. Similar and interchangeable connectors are used in Canada, Mexico, and other countries

using the same type of receptacle, although there are some exceptions. NEMA wiring devices are made in current

ratings from 15 to 60 amperes, and electrical potential (voltage) ratings from 125 to 600 volts.

NEMA Single Phase: 5-15P, 5-20P, L5-20P, L5-30P, L6-20P, L6-30P

IEC – International Electrotechnical Commission

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a non-proﬁt, non-governmental international standards

organization that prepares and publishes international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies

– collectively known as “electrotechnology”. IEC standards cover a vast range of technologies from power generation,

transmission and distribution to home appliances and ofﬁce equipment, semiconductors, ﬁbre optics, batteries, solar

energy, nanotechnology and marine energy as well as many others.

IEC Single Phase: IEC 320-C14, C20

BLADE TYPE

L = Twist Lock

If no letter = Straight Blade

VOLTAGE

5 = 120V

6 = 208V, 230V, or 240V

14 = 120v & 208V (4 wire)

CONNECTION TYPE

P = Plug

R = Receptacle

AMPERAGE

15 = 15 amps

20 = 20 amps

30 = 30 amps

L 5 - 20 P

Note: Locking plugs and receptacles are not interchangeable. For example an L6-20P plug will not lock into an L6-30R receptacle.
