Eaton Specification Sheet - 4524N
The 4524N features an extra heavy-duty industrial plug design with brass contacts rated for 50 A at 125/250 V. The rugged thermoplastic body, paired with a neoprene gasket, provides solid electrical performance while resisting moisture and dust ingress. This combination drives improved connection integrity under high-vibration environments, reducing field faults and maintenance costs in continuous-running systems such as conveyors and presses. Back-wire termination enables faster, more reliable terminations when installing panels. This method reduces field torque variability and minimizes loosened connections that cause downtime. The result is quicker commissioning and higher first-pass test success in control cabinets and motor control centers. The unit uses a three-pole, three-wire configuration with NEMA 10-50P compatibility and straight blade design. This alignment simplifies replacements and stocking by matching common receptacles across industrial facilities. It also supports #12-4 AWG wiring with a secure, screw-cap option for added installation flexibility. Brass contact material delivers corrosion resistance and low voltage drop, contributing to long-term reliability in harsh environments. The thermoplastic body with neoprene gasket resists oils, dust, and moisture, aiding compliance with general electrical safety requirements. Torque rating of 30-35 lbf-in ensures repeatable terminations across crews and shifts. Core-pack packaging and color-coded gray vinyl housing help with inventory management and field identification. The overall footprint (6.938 in length, 3.375 in height, 3.61 in width) supports easy mounting in tight panels. Together, these features reduce installation time and spare-part complexity for industrial automation projects.

FAQs
The 4524N supports both back-wire and screw termination methods, enabling flexible field installations. It is designed for #12-4 AWG conductors and backs up with a 6.938 in depth, facilitating straightforward panel wiring and secure terminations. This dual approach reduces wiring errors and speeds up commissioning in control cabinets and power distribution enclosures.
The plug is rated for 50 A at 125/250 V with a three-wire, three-pole configuration (NEMA 10-50P). Brass contacts provide low resistance and durable contact life, while the back-wire or screw termination options support reliable connections under demanding industrial loads, reducing voltage drop and improving overall equipment performance.
Yes. The 4524N is cULus Listed, indicating conformance to key safety standards for industrial equipment. Its thermoplastic body and neoprene gasket offer moisture and dust resistance, and brass contacts enhance durability under vibration. This combination makes it well-suited for factory floors, assembly lines, and rugged power distribution applications.
The 4524N is designed to integrate with Eaton Arrow Hart components and standard NEMA straight-blade receptacles, simplifying replacements and stocking. Its back-wire option plus screw terminals provide installation flexibility in control cabinets and power panels, while core-pack packaging supports efficient warehousing and faster procurement for ongoing projects.
By delivering secure terminations, repeatable torque, and durable materials, the 4524N reduces downtime, minimizes rework, and extends service life. Quick installation, fewer field returns due to mismatches, and lower maintenance costs contribute to a favorable total cost of ownership in high-demand automation lines.
