Eaton Specification Sheet - 3809-SP
Feature a armored vinyl face/body and brass contact material for durable, reliable connections in commercial environments. Benefit includes reduced field failures and longer service life, improving maintenance cycles and total cost of ownership. Application centers on armored vinyl receptacles in high-traffic facilities, where reliability and environmental resilience matter. Feature back-wire termination supporting #18-12 AWG conductors, enabling faster, error-resistant terminations with consistent torque and seating. Business impact is faster installation, fewer rework events, and improved field productivity, especially for contractor crews working in retrofit and new-construction projects. Feature 20A 250V rating with a 6-20P NEMA configuration and two-pole, three-wire grounding setup, ensuring compatibility with common commercial equipment and reinforcing circuit protection. Application includes service outlets, workshop equipment, and industrial automation panels, offering predictable performance under typical loads. Feature RoHS compliance and cULus/NOM/Federal Specification classifications, reducing regulatory risk and simplifying procurement and compliance workflows in regulated facilities. This receptacle also emphasizes precise torque (15 lbf-in) and back-wire conductors, supporting consistent terminations and safer, code-compliant installations. Industry context notes that armored vinyl designs are favored in environments where impact is possible, and armored grounding features minimize nuisance interruptions caused by intermittent grounding connections.
