Eaton Specification Sheet - 2601BK-BU
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The back-wire insulation-piercing connection reduces stripping steps and speeds up installation, delivering measurable time savings on busy residential builds and service calls. This translates to lower labor costs and improved project timelines for electricians working on single-family homes or small commercial setups. The two-pole, non-grounding configuration and NEMA 1-15P compatibility ensure straightforward compatibility with common residential outlets, minimizing mis-wiring and callbacks. The brass contact material provides reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance, supporting long-term performance in everyday use. The thermoplastic face/body resists impact and heat, reducing damage during transit and installation, which lowers replacement rates and warranty costs. With 14 lbf-in torque rating, secure connections are achieved consistently, aiding compliance with local codes and reducing call-backs. Bulk packaging supports efficient stocking for distributors and contractor fleets, speeding procurement and project readiness. This configuration is especially suitable for 18-10 AWG conductors and 125V circuits in residential power distribution.
