Eaton 5469 Ultra Grip Straight Blade Connector - UL NOM 6221 02
Part Number: 5469
Quick Summary
The Eaton 5469 Ultra Grip straight blade connector is designed to safely terminate #16-12 AWG wires in industrial control panels. Installers often struggle with secure back-wire terminations and reliable grounding in harsh environments. UL-listed and Federal Specification Classification 6221 02 provide essential compliance for industrial installations. Its nylon face, polycarbonate body, and brass contacts resist wear, heat, and corrosion, reducing field failures. Designed for industrial wiring devices and back-wire connections, it speeds assemblies and lowers total install costs while supporting compliance and traceability. This combination translates to shorter downtime, easier maintenance, and scalable panel builds for growing automation projects.

Eaton Specification Sheet - 5469
Feature → Business Impact → Application: Back-wire capability supports rapid terminations for #16-12 AWG wires, reducing installation time by up to 30%, which lowers labor costs across panel builds and service calls in industrial environments. This directly benefits OEM integrations and retrofit projects where downtime matters. Application: Use in control panels for motors, drives, and feeders where back-wire terminations improve field serviceability and reliability. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 6-20R NEMA configuration delivers a 20A, 250V rating, ensuring safe, code-compliant connections for demanding industrial circuits; enhances equipment protection and reduces risk of nuisance trips during peak loads. Application: Ideal for power distribution blocks and machine interfaces in manufacturing lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Two-pole, three-wire grounding with brass contacts provides durable, low-resistance paths and robust grounding; reduces contact wear and improves long-term performance in harsh environments. Application: Burdened with high-vibration applications or exposure to coolants where grounding integrity is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Nylon face with a polycarbonate body delivers impact resistance and thermal stability; lowers replacement frequency and total cost of ownership. Application: Suitable for harsh production floors and outdoor installations where material longevity matters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Core pack packaging minimizes waste and simplifies stocking; reduces handling time and packaging costs in warehouses and distributors. Application: Streamlines procurement workflows for distributors and system integrators. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Extra heavy-duty industrial specification grade and straight blade design ensure reliability under continuous operation; supports maintenance-intensive applications with higher uptime. Application: Best for continuous-process equipment and automated assembly lines that require predictable performance.

FAQs
To install, strip insulation to 0.33–0.66 inches, insert the conductors into the back-wire terminals, then tighten the screws to secure the wires. Verify the connection for proper contact and insulation clearance, and ensure the wiring matches the 6-20R receptacle configuration for a compliant, reliable fit in industrial panels.
The 5469 is rated for 20A at 250V. It uses brass contact material, with a nylon face and a polycarbonate body, delivering durability and corrosion resistance suitable for industrial environments and long service life in demanding applications.
Yes. The connector is a two-pole, three-wire grounding design (6-20R) rated for industrial use, providing a secure grounding path and reliable operation in control panels, motor controllers, and similar equipment.
The 5469 carries UL NOM Federal Specification Classification 6221 02, reflecting compliance with stringent safety and performance standards for industrial wiring devices. This helps ensure field reliability, safety, and regulatory conformity across industrial installations.
Durable materials (nylon, polycarbonate, brass) reduce wear and replacement costs, while back-wire design speeds terminations and minimizes labor. Core-pack packaging lowers waste and stocking costs, contributing to faster deployments and lower total cost of ownership on large panel builds.
