Complex environment
The IP67-rated watertight housing paired with a Santoprene thermoplastic elastomer body provides robust moisture sealing and resistance to damp environments, reducing corrosion risk and field repairs in washdown areas and outdoor installations. This durability translates into extended service life and lower maintenance costs for industrial automation panels and equipment. The two-pole, three-wire grounding configuration supports safe, code-compliant power distribution in automation systems and conveyors, delivering reliable operation in challenging environments. Back-wire screw terminals offer flexible wiring options that speed installation, simplify retrofits, and minimize downtime during panel upgrades. Wire compatibility with #18-10 AWG and a cord-diameter range of 0.30–0.65 in ensures secure connections in compact enclosures, preserving conductor density and electrical margin. Nickel-plated brass contacts and a 14 lbf-in torque rating guarantee consistent seating and low contact resistance through vibration and thermal cycling. The device is cULus Listed and available in a core-pack packaging format to support streamlined procurement for OEMs and service teams.

FAQs
The 15W47BK is a two-pole, three-wire grounding receptacle configured as a 5-15R style outlet. It uses back-wire screw terminals and accepts wires from #18 to #10 AWG, 0.30–0.65 in diameter. Rated at 125V and 15A, this connector ensures secure, compliant wiring in industrial panels and field installations. Back-wire and screw-terminal options simplify retrofits and new builds alike.
Yes. The 15W47BK extends protection in damp or wet industrial settings thanks to its IP67 rating and Santoprene body, which resist moisture ingress and harsh chemical exposure common in washdown zones. The nickel-plated brass contacts maintain conductivity under vibration, while the two-pole, three-wire grounding configuration supports safe, code-compliant power distribution in control panels, conveyors, and outdoor equipment.
Installation follows standard back-wire screw practices. Use the back-wire terminals or screw connections per your panel design, torque to 14 lbf-in, and ensure conductors are within #18-10 AWG. The 1.69 in length and 2.78 in height create compact footprints for tight enclosures, while nickel-plated brass contacts ensure durable contact resistance during vibration and thermal cycling.
Yes. The 15W47BK is cULus Listed and tested for industrial use, with an IP67 rating for ingress protection against dust and water. Its 125V/15A rating and NEMA 5-15R style compatibility align with common electrical codes for control panels, outdoor installations, and washdown-ready equipment, helping you pass regulatory reviews without redesign.
Durability comes from nickel-plated brass contacts and a Santoprene body that resist moisture, oils, and abrasion common in industrial environments. The thermoplastic housing and black color aid heat dissipation and visibility; combined with a 14 lbf-in torque rating for secure mating, this connector maintains low contact resistance through temperature cycling and operational wear.
