FAQs
The 60W48BK supports both back-wire and screw terminal connections, with panel-mount installation. This dual-terminal approach simplifies field terminations, enables secure, vibration-resistant connections, and reduces the time required for wiring multiple receptacles in industrial enclosures. It is compatible with #18-10 AWG conductors and designed for reliable long-term operation in demanding environments.
This receptacle is rated for 20A at 250V and uses a NEMA 6-20R two-pole configuration with three wires. Its compatibility includes industrial loads that require a single watertight receptacle with robust sealing and panel mounting. It supports standard control panels, motors, and equipment enclosures while meeting cULus safety standards.
Yes. The 60W48BK is IP66-rated for damp/wet environments, providing ingress protection against water and dust. Its glass-filled nylon body and nickel-plated brass contacts offer corrosion resistance, making it suitable for outdoor installations, washdown areas, and harsh factories where moisture exposure is common.
The receptacle is cULus Listed, underscoring compliance with North American safety standards. Its IP66 rating further demonstrates performance in damp/wet conditions. This combination supports regulatory acceptance in industrial facilities and helps streamline procurement and audits for electrical panel assemblies.
Expect long service life due to the nickel-plated brass contacts and glass-filled nylon housing, which resist wear and corrosion in tough environments. For maintenance, inspect the panel mounting and terminations during routine preventive checks, ensure the back-wire screws remain tight, and verify the IP66 seals remain intact after washing or exposure to moisture. Replacement parts are readily available from Eaton.
