Armored vinyl body with auto-grounding enhances safety and longevity. The integrated ground path reduces ground faults and simplifies wiring during commissioning. It’s well suited for commercial panels and switchgear in busy facilities where vibration is common. Back-wire termination for #18-12 AWG simplifies field terminations. This approach reduces labor time and helps ensure consistent wire seating, even in tight enclosures. Ideal for ED Box installations and commercial wiring runs in office buildings and retail spaces. 20A, 250V rating with a 6-20P NEMA configuration supports typical commercial loads. Brass contact material delivers reliable current transfer and resistance to oxidation. The 15 lbf-inch torque rating provides repeatable terminations, reducing looseness and arcing. RoHS compliance and cULus listing, along with NOM 6221 02 classification, support regulatory conformity and safer procurement. These certifications help avoid late-stage design changes and accelerate commissioning. Use in facilities with strict electrical standards and electrical equipment life-cycle plans. Compact ED Box packaging and yellow armored body enable fast identification and straightforward installation in dense control panels. The back-wire compatible design reduces spare part needs and supports quick maintenance checks. This combination translates to lower installed cost, easier training, and improved project timelines.

FAQs

The 3809-BOX uses back-wire termination compatible with #18-12 AWG conductors. During installation, insert the stripped conductors into the back-wire slots and tighten the screws to the specified torque of 15 lbf-in. This method provides a secure, pressure-formed connection with minimal field adjustments, ideal for dense ED Box configurations and fast commissioning.
Yes. The 3809-BOX is designed for commercial specification grade use with ED Box packaging. Its NEMA 6-20P configuration, 20A/250V rating, and back-wire capability align with typical commercial distribution panels, switchgear, and receptacle layouts, ensuring straightforward replacement or retrofit in existing installations.
This plug carries RoHS compliance and cULus listing, along with NOM Federal Specification Classification 6221 02. These certifications help you meet environmental and safety standards, simplify regulatory approvals, and reduce procurement risk in facilities subject to strict electrical codes and industry regulations.
Armored auto-grounding provides an integrated ground path, reducing the likelihood of ground faults and eliminating the need for additional grounding hardware during installation. This translates to faster commissioning, fewer call-backs for grounding issues, and lower maintenance costs over the life of commercial electrical installations.
The device uses a 6-20P NEMA configuration, two-pole, three-wire grounding with a 20A, 250V rating. It’s suitable for commercial office spaces, retail outlets, and light industrial equipment connections where reliable, grounded power is required and back-wire terminations expedite wiring in dense enclosures.
