Arrow Hart - Connecting Safety to Reliability since 1890
Eaton Specification Sheet - 5269
Back-wire termination reduces field assembly time and minimizes loose connections, translating to lower labor costs and improved reliability in panel wiring. This design addresses common issues where screw terminations loosen under vibration, ensuring stable connections for industrial equipment. The 5269 supports #18-12 AWG conductors with a 0.33-0.66 inch cord range, enabling flexible wiring layouts in compact enclosures and control cabinets. A two-pole, three-wire grounding receptacle with an extra heavy-duty industrial specification grade provides dependable performance in demanding environments, reducing downtime and replacement costs. The brass contact and nylon face paired with a thermoplastic, polycarbonate housing deliver durable, corrosion-resistant performance, improving long-term maintenance intervals. Color-coded white and black aids quick identification, decreasing wiring errors during installations and field retrofits. Compatible with standard 5-15R NEMA configurations, it integrates smoothly with common wiring devices and control panels. The back-wire method also simplifies retrofits, making upgrades faster and more cost-effective for equipment operators and electricians alike.
