FAQs
AH5469 accepts #16-12 AWG conductors, aligning with common industrial wiring schemes. The back-wire method supports efficient terminations for these gauges, while the 0.33-0.66 inch cord diameter specification helps ensure a snug fit in standard strain reliefs. This compatibility simplifies sourcing and minimizes the need for transformer or adapter accessories in most control-panel applications.
Begin by de-energizing the panel and preparing the conductors to the #16-12 AWG range. Insert wires into the back-wire terminals, then tighten to the 14 lbf-in torque rating to ensure a secure connection. Verify polarity and grounding continuity, then mount the connector in its two-pole, three-wire receptacle location. A final inspection for proper clearance and insulation completes the installation.
Yes. AH5469 is designed for industrial environments with an extra heavy-duty specification grade and a 20A, 250V rating. Its two-pole, three-wire grounding receptacle, combined with brass contacts and a Nylon body, provides robust durability and reliable grounding in control panels, motor drives, and automation equipment.
AH5469 carries UL NOM and Federal Specification Classification 6221 02. These certifications indicate compliance with rigorous electrical safety and performance standards, easing procurement for regulated facilities and ensuring consistent, code-aligned installation across industrial sites.
The back-wire design reduces installation time and improves termination reliability, lowering labor costs and rework. The high-quality nylon body and brass contacts resist environmental wear, extending service life in harsh plants. Overall, users typically experience reduced downtime, stable electrical connections, and predictable maintenance intervals in Wiring & Connectivity applications.
