McMaster Carr has the Female CS6364, I'm sure they have the male as well.

Check with Pacer electrical, they have a ton of different ends and such. If your cord needed is 50' 240v you could buy a Marinco or Hubbell marine cord and utilize the marine ends.

I'm not entirely sure those components are made in the United States any more, you might be able to find Mexican produced ones, or Vietnam or Philippines if you're trying to avoid China.

Eaton - Arrow Hart Locking Devices are made in Mexico and I actually much prefer their design over the Hubbell Twist-Locks anyway. I built up Generator Cord using Southwire Royal 10/4 SOOW Cord (Made in USA) and Arrow Hart Locking Devices, all of which is readily available at Lowes.

Look at Hubbell Electrical - HQ in CT, much made in the USA, the NEMA 14-50 EV plug I had installed is made in the USA.

Hubblell TT-30P Link

Hubbell CS6364C Link

Both available on jeffbezoswifesclothes.com

Amazon TT-30P

Amazon CS6364C

That reminds me, I need to order the Hubbell HBL9452C Plug to change the end of my generator cord for the new NEMA 14-50P outlet for next hurricane season, might put in a transfer switch though instead.

Pics show made in Mexico.
The male plug says weather resistant does not look to be the greatest for a cord that will solely be used outside in bad weather.
Granted that will be on the generator end which will be under cover on my back deck.

About 15 years ago I purchased a Generac 4500 generator at Home Depot for around $400. They had the proper cord and the plugs for it as well. I don't use it a lot but when needed, it has always worked well.

Marinco or Hubbell are the standard in the marine industry for use for shore power on docks to connect boats/yachts. I prefer Marinco stuff, but both of them make 50amp cords/plugs/boots for the plugs/receptacles etc that are standard throughout the marine industry in North America and they're waterproof as you'll probably get. Not sure where they're made but both brands of marine equipment will last you decades.
