Eaton 4862 Plug - UL NOM Federal Specification 6221 02
Part Number: 4862
Quick Summary
Eaton 4862 straight blade plug is a reliable 15A, 125V wiring device designed for commercial applications. Engineers often confront slower installs and miswiring when terminations aren’t optimized for back-wire use or when parts fail under load. This plug carries UL listings, NOM certification, and Federal Specification Classification 6221 02, helping you meet strict code requirements and supplier expectations. With a vinyl body, brass contacts, and a back-wire connection for #18-12 AWG conductors, it delivers durable, low-resistance performance in high-traffic installations. In practice, this supports faster turnarounds, reduces field rework, and aligns with standard commercial wiring devices while supporting reliable, repeatable builds.
