Eaton Specification Sheet - 183W-BOX
Back-wire termination reduces installation time and minimizes field wiring errors, converting complex terminations into a simple push-in mechanism with a secure screw alternative when needed. This translates to faster project completion, fewer reworks, and lower labor costs on busy job sites where quick turnover matters. The 15A, 125V rating provides reliable performance for typical commercial circuits, enabling installers to standardize on a single plug for many outlets while reducing stocking diversity. The non-polarized, two-pole, two-wire configuration supports straightforward wiring without polarity confusion, improving safety and ensuring consistent reconnection after maintenance. Brass contact material and screw connection deliver durable, low-resistance conduction through repeated plug cycles, reducing heat buildup and extending device life in high-traffic areas. Thermoplastic rubber construction in white ED Box packaging offers robust protection and easy on-site handling, further aiding installation efficiency and inventory management.
