Eaton AH5266BK Straight Blade Plug - RoHS Compliant
Part Number: AH5266BK
Quick Summary
The Eaton Arrow Hart ultra grip straight blade plug provides secure, robust power connections for industrial panels. In field installs, back-wire terminations can loosen under vibration or temperature swings, leading to intermittent power or downtime — this plug addresses that risk with a proven clamping design and reliability-first construction. This product carries RoHS compliance and cULus listing, with NOM classification supporting regulatory adherence in North American and global projects. By integrating a nylon body with brass contacts and precise torque specs, it delivers consistent performance in demanding environments. Designed for back-wire installations with 18-12 AWG conductors in a 0.33-0.66 inch cord range, it reduces wiring errors and speeds panel commissioning, benefiting maintenance and procurement teams.

FAQs
AH5266BK supports back-wire terminations designed for #18-12 AWG conductors. To terminate, strip the conductors per the insulation guidelines, insert into the back-wire terminals until firmly seated, and tighten to the specified torque. This method provides a reliable, vibration-resistant connection suited for industrial panels and equipment enclosures.
Yes. AH5266BK is rated for 15A at 125V and uses the NEMA 5-15P configuration. This makes it compatible with common North American power systems and standard control panel wiring, enabling straightforward integration with existing 15A/125V circuits and equipment.
AH5266BK is RoHS compliant and cULus listed, with NOM classification indicating conformance to specific safety standards for electrical components. These certifications support regulatory compliance in North American markets and bolster reliability for industrial deployments in stringent environments.
Absolutely. The nylon body and brass contacts are designed for durability, with a back-wire termination and a robust torque specification that resist loosening under vibration. This makes AH5266BK well-suited for equipment racks, automation cabinets, and other applications prone to operational shocks and temperature variations.
The back-wire design minimizes field labor during installation, reducing commissioning time. High durability and RoHS/cULus compliance lower long-term maintenance costs and regulatory risk, while standard 15A/125V ratings and easy sourcing of #18-12 AWG conductors improve uptime and total cost of ownership for control panels and wiring devices.
