Eaton Specification Sheet - 4862-BOX
Back-wire termination enables fast, reliable field terminations with fewer loose conductors and less risk of wiring damage. The 4862-BOX uses a two-pole, two-wire non-grounding configuration for common NEMA 1-15P applications, making it ideal for commercial circuits where quick replacement is needed. Brass contact material delivers low contact resistance and good conductivity across vibration and cycling scenarios, while the vinyl face and body resist deformation in busy installation environments. This combination supports long-term performance in back-wire installations and reduces maintenance calls. With a 15A, 125V rating, it fits most lighting and general-purpose receptacle circuits found in offices, retail spaces, and process areas. The 18–12 AWG compatible wiring method ensures secure terminations without exotic tools. ED Box packaging simplifies on-site handling and mounting, helping installers align the plug with standard wiring enclosures. The yellow color provides quick visual identification, aiding safety checks and circuit tracing during commissioning. Compliance is reinforced by UL and NOM standards under Federal Specification 6221 02, reducing risk in regulated facilities and helping procurement avoid compliance gaps. The device is designed for commercial specification grade environments, balancing cost with reliability. Compatibility with Eaton Arrow Hart line supports streamlined spares and stocking, and the back-wire approach minimizes labor time in dense installation bays. Installing in ED boxes streamlines labeling with color-coded components. Field feedback indicates customers value predictable torque ratings (15 lbf-in) and screw terminal reliability in busy electrical rooms.
