Leviton 18R26-1G 18 Series Female Receptacle

Heavy-Duty Cam-Type Receptacle by Leviton

The 18R26-1G from Leviton is a 400-amp, 600-volt cam-type female panel receptacle designed for temporary power distribution and heavy industrial connections. It is suitable for panel-mount installations on generators, distribution boxes, and portable power equipment. Key features include a 90-degree threaded stud terminal and brass contacts rated for #2 to 4/0 AWG cable.

Key Features and Benefits of This Cam-Type Receptacle

Brass contacts and Santoprene insulators give this receptacle a 400-amp, 600-volt rating suited to demanding power distribution jobs, while the color-coded green housing helps crews identify connections quickly on a job site. Self-clinching panel-mount nuts simplify a secure panel installation without extra hardware.

Where to Use the 18R26-1G Receptacle

This receptacle is built for portable generators, event power distribution, film and broadcast power tie-ins, and other temporary or industrial cam-lock setups requiring high-amperage connections. It is a panel-mount component, not a plug-in wall receptacle, so it is not suited to standard residential outlets.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

Confirm your cable falls within the #2 to 4/0 AWG range and that your mating cam-type connector matches Leviton's 18 Series before ordering. The 1.125-inch threaded stud and self-clinching nuts are designed for panel mounting, so verify panel thickness and clearance. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician per UL and CSA requirements.

Additional Buying Context

Because cam-type systems must match across male and female ends, confirm compatibility with your existing 18 Series components before adding the 18R26-1G to an order. Leviton backs the receptacle with a 2-year limited warranty, and it is rated NEMA 3R for outdoor use once properly mated to its connector.
