Eaton Specification Sheet - 183-6W-BOX
Polarized two-wire design improves safety by ensuring correct contact orientation when mating with 1-15P receptacles. This reduces miswiring and rework in busy commercial installations, lowering downtime and safety incidents. Designed for commercial wiring devices and ED Box packaging, it delivers reliable terminations in office, retail, and light-industrial environments. 15A at 125V supports typical office equipment without oversized hardware, reducing conductor upgrades and enabling consistent performance across standard circuits. Back-wire termination and compatibility with NEMA 1-15P configurations streamline field terminations while keeping installation time predictable. Brass contact material provides reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance through frequent plug-unplug cycles, and the thermoplastic body delivers heat resistance and durability in demanding spaces. Color and finish support quick identification and standardization across facilities, while a compact footprint aids retrofits and new builds alike. ED Box packaging enhances safety during handling and stocking, reducing damage and lost time on the job site. Certifications UL NOM 6221 02 reinforce compliance expectations in regulated environments, simplifying procurement and quality assurance. Overall, the plug integrates smoothly with Eaton's family of wiring devices for scalable, repeatable installations across multiple facilities.

FAQs
The 183-6W-BOX is designed for commercial wiring projects that require a polarized, non-grounding two-wire connection. It supports 125V circuits up to 15A and uses back-wire termination for quick field terminations with #18-10 AWG conductors. It is compatible with standard 1-15P receptacles and comes in an ED Box for safe handling during installation, service, or retrofit.
Key specs include a 15A amperage rating, 125V voltage rating, brass contact material, thermoplastic body, back-wire wiring method, two poles, two wires, and non-grounding configuration (NEMA 1-15P). The plug accommodates #18-10 AWG conductors and features a 0.328 inch cord diameter, delivering reliable performance in standard commercial circuits.
Yes. The 183-6W-BOX carries UL NOM safety recognition and Federal Specification Classification 6221 02, providing verifiable compliance in regulated environments. This helps with procurement discipline, supplier qualification, and ensuring consistent performance in commercial power distribution applications.
Back-wire termination enables faster, tool-light field terminations by securing conductors directly into the rear of the receptacle without external clamps. This reduces install time, minimizes potential screw loosening, and improves conductor organization, which is especially valuable in high-volume commercial projects and retrofit scenarios.
The brass contacts and durable thermoplastic body promote long life with frequent plug-unplug cycles, reducing replacement frequency and maintenance calls. Standardization with Eaton’s wiring devices streamlines procurement, stock management, and training, yielding lower total cost of ownership and predictable performance across multiple facilities.
