With its duplex NEMA 5-20R design, the Eaton 1210BL delivers two grounded receptacles rated for 20A at 125V. This configuration supports common commercial and office equipment without adapters, improving plug compatibility and reducing installation time. The color-coded blue housing aids visibility in crowded panels or service desks, while the polycarbonate face ensures impact resistance in busy work environments. Its built-in audible alarm and auto-ground feature provide immediate fault notification and reliable grounding, minimizing unscheduled downtime and equipment damage in noisy plant environments. The 340J energy absorption rating indicates robust surge handling for short-duration events, helping protect sensitive electronics and control gear during surges from motors and welders. Installation is simplified by wire leads, enabling quick field wiring with three conductors and a compact, straight-blade design for clean panel integration. Durability is reinforced by thermoplastic construction, brass contact material, and a temperature operating range of 0 to 40 °C, suitable for most commercial facilities. The 2-receptacle, blue, duplex face fosters clear identification in busy environments, while the cULus Listed certification supports compliance with North American safety standards for commercial electrical protection.
