Portable 208 V three-phase equipment that also needs 120 V inside, such as kitchen lines, test benches and stage gear, runs on 4-pole 5-wire cord sets. The Techspan SCM560C9W is the female cord connector for that job: a 60 A IEC 60309 pin and sleeve connector for 120/208 V three-phase wye, blue coded at 9 o'clock and watertight to IP67. Note that a 4-pole 5-wire 120/208 V device is a wye system with neutral, not delta.
Why industrial electricians pick it
- IP67 watertight for wet, washdown and outdoor cord runs.
- Carries three phases, neutral and ground for equipment with 120 V loads.
- Blue 9h keying prevents mating with 480 V or 600 V devices.
- Cord grip takes 0.937 to 1.375 in cable.
- Interchangeable with same-rated 560P9W plugs and 560B9W inlets from other IEC 60309 makers.

Pro tip from the counter
The IP67 rating only applies when the connector is plugged in or its cap is closed. Snap the cover shut every time the cord is unplugged and hang the end off the floor, because a heavy 60 A cord end left lying open on a wet floor collects water in the sleeves.
Best for: commercial kitchen equipment cords, portable 208 V machinery, test and lab benches, event and stage power, washdown areas
