Portable 480 V equipment in wash-down areas, outdoor sites and plants needs a cord connector that seals against water and mates with any IEC 60309 device. The Techspan SCM520C7W (made by Scame, EUREKA-HD UL series) is a 20 A, 4-pole 5-wire, 3-phase wye 277/480 V female connector rated IP67 watertight. Maintenance electricians use it to build extension and equipment cords on SO/SOW cable.
Why maintenance electricians pick it
- IP67 watertight and IK10 impact rated for hose-down and outdoor use.
- Red housing and 7h ground position are keyed to 3ØY 277/480 V, so it cannot mate with lower-voltage devices.
- Interchangeable with other manufacturers' 520P7W plugs and 520B7W inlets built to IEC 60309.
- Nickel-plated brass pins and sleeves with screw terminals.
- UL listed (cULus per distributor) for North American use.

Pro tip from the counter
Measure the cord jacket before ordering: the gland only seals on 0.57 in to 0.71 in O.D. cable, and a thinner jacket will leave the IP67 rating on paper only. Note this is a wye (3ØY) device that needs a neutral; it is not meant for a 3-wire delta circuit.
Best for: portable 480 V equipment cords, food plant and wash-down areas, outdoor and construction sites, industrial maintenance departments
