Recorded variant and source limits
- Contact/pole count does not establish terminal placement, conductor colors, voltage compatibility or safe substitution.
- No fabrication dimensions, live-work procedure or device-level electrical approval is published.

Specifications and limits
| Documented identification | NEMA L6-20P locking plug; 20 A, 250 V, 2-pole, 3-wire grounding. [C219A] |
|---|---|
| Mechanical dimensions | No independently reviewed mechanical drawing in V39; do not use this page for fabrication, fit testing or tolerance work. |
| Engineering pinout | Source-checked engineering profile available; independent review pending. Open engineering profile → |
| Verified device list | Not included. Check exact device and accessory documentation. |
Use the source-backed form or position count only for identification. Resolve ratings, protocol, direction, wiring, cable construction and exact device support from the relevant equipment and component documentation.
Before you connect
What to check
- Identify the exact connector family and variant from the equipment or cable documentation.
- Keep shape, contact count, protocol, electrical rating and device support as separate facts.
- Do not force, rewire or adapt a connector from this recognition record; resolve the remaining requirements first.
What is not established
This field note does not approve a connection, adapter, cable assembly, rewiring scheme or fabricated part. It intentionally omits unsupported pin assignments and mechanical tolerances.
