Eaton Specification Sheet - 5517N
The plug's extra heavy-duty auto grip mechanism delivers a secure grip that resists vibration, reducing connection failures and maintenance costs in demanding environments. This translates to faster commissioning and fewer field repairs on panel feeders and industrial equipment. The 60A, 120/208V rating supports high-load devices without oversized harnesses, improving efficiency and reducing the need for multiple parallel connections in motor control centers and manufacturing lines. Brass contact material and a thermoplastic body provide durability and corrosion resistance, enhancing conductivity and lifespan in dirty or humid plant settings used in control panels and power distribution enclosures. A torque rating of 30-35 lbf-in ensures proper termination with screw connections, while back-wire capability for #12-4 AWG simplifies field installs and minimizes rework during startup. The non-grounding four-pole, 18-60P configuration guarantees compatibility with standard 4-wire systems, ensuring regulatory compliance in factory environments. Gray thermoplastic construction offers visibility and ease of handling, while core-pack packaging supports organized stock and controlled distribution in large facilities.

FAQs
To install the 5517N, prepare #12-4 AWG conductors, loosen the back-wire terminals, insert conductors fully, and tighten to achieve a secure connection within the specified torque range of 30-35 lbf-inch. Verify correct polarity and ensure the four-pole configuration matches the 18-60P receptacle. This back-wire method simplifies field terminations and reduces installation time in control panels.
Yes. The 5517N is rated for 60A at 120/208V and features a four-pole, four-wire non-grounding design with back-wire capability, making it compatible with standard industrial power distribution and 18-60P NEMA configurations.
The 5517N carries UL and NOM certifications and aligns with Federal Specification 6233, Class 01, providing assurance of safety and industrial compatibility in demanding environments.
It is ideal for heavy machinery, motor control panels, and other industrial equipment requiring a robust 4-wire, 60A connection. Its back-wire capability and four-pole design support reliable power distribution in harsh manufacturing settings.
The auto grip mechanism reduces the risk of secondary looseness due to vibration, speeds up installations, and lowers rework rates during commissioning, delivering consistent, durable terminations in industrial environments.
