50 amp plugs
I need a male and female 50 amp plugs to make up a power cord. I searched and searched and all I could find were the cheap Camco plastic ones. Looking for a source for the good black ones. Thanks

I assume you're making an extension cord??
I'd look at the home improvement stores. I got a few from Home Depot, good quality too.

I would be surprised to find the RV style plugs/sockets in a home center. The internet will probably get you a good vendor.
You want "NEMA 14-50" spec.

Try McMaster Carr. They are a MRO supplier and carry high quality industrial level materials. Can be found at McMaster-Carr.

gauto 5150 is correct what you want is a 4 wire range male and female
make sure on the type of plug spades as they have two different types.

Not sure of your project but I found that buying a new cord was cheaper that plugs and wire.

The best black replacement male plug out there is made by Pass & Seymour. Usually available at Home Depot or Lowes. Cost around $15.
The best replacement female receptacle out there is made by Progressive
Industries. (A house dryer outlet just won't do it!) Cost is around
$20 to $25. Progressiveindustries.net to find where to buy.
Hope this helps.

Hey Clifftall, unfortunately the best ones I've run accross are found at a good rv supplier. They're yellow, made out of a more rubberized material and actually have a hand grip to be able to really get a hold of it when you need to disconnect. They're a little pricey but very good quality. I haven't done it but you might want to try PPL Motorhomes site and see what they might have. I was lucky enough to find them at our local rv dealer back home. Good luck hope you can find the ones that work best for you.
