Leviton 5369 C Connector Industrial Black White Review

I needed a 20A extension cord. Most store-bought heavy-duty power strips are only rated for 15 amps due to the plug and plug. I bought this connector to use with the SOOW 12AWG 3 wire cable. I liked that the connector had a removable insert for the 5/8 inch cable I was using. The connector is easy to connect and comes with splicing instructions.

You want to use this to attach your extension cable. Like most people, I sometimes overdo it with an extension cord. It tends to melt my female cord ends. This Leviton 20A is a high quality cord cap and has a solid connection. If you're an electrician, you know that a loose connection creates resistance and heat. You need a solid connection when using an electrical extension cord within (or outside of) its design limits.

I couldn't ask for a better product for this application. Knowing how to cut wire insulation and strip three copper wires will serve you well and is easy to install. My wife cut off the female end of our very good 12g extension cord with hedge trimmers and this product saved me from throwing the whole $50 cord. It's well insulated and designed for heavy loads, you can't go wrong with that. Leviton is an American company, even if they are made in other countries. I use Leviton in my work with IT

I needed a good 20Amp socket for my router table to match a heavy duty cable. The 3 1/4 horsepower variable speed router I use draws 15 amps and uses a 20 amp outlet, so I wanted to get a plug that matched the outlet. The 15 amp hookup I had wasn't up to the task. I went to Home Depot and Lowes and after finding the ones I was looking for they cost over $16 so I figured I'd dig a little deeper to save a few bucks. When I saw this on Revain for $9.80 with free shipping I thought it was worth it.
