Back-wire design enables fast, secure terminations with controlled torque, reducing installation time and the risk of loose contacts in vibration-heavy equipment. The AH5666BK supports 16-12 AWG conductors and is engineered for heavy-duty industrial use, making it ideal for control panels, motor starters, and power distribution enclosures where reliability directly drives uptime. Cord-range flexibility matters in retrofit projects and OEM integrations. With a 0.22 to 0.66 inch diameter range and back-wire compatibility, technicians can terminate wires quickly without multiple ferrules or adapters. This also supports standardized wiring practices across sites, lowering training needs and accelerating field service. Durability comes from brass contact materials and a nylon body designed for harsh environments. The combination minimizes wear, resists corrosion, and maintains low contact resistance even in dusty or humid plants. These qualities help sustain electrical performance over the life of the equipment. With a 15A, 250V rating and a torque specification of 12-14 lbf-in, secure screw connections reduce thermal issues and arcing, while the two-pole, three-wire grounding (6-15P) configuration aligns with common industrial circuits and improves safety in panel assemblies. Regulatory and compliance benefits are clear. RoHS compliance, UL NOM listing, and Federal Specification Classification 6221 02 simplify procurement and audit processes. The device is designed for industrial-grade service, delivering rugged performance without compromising conformance or traceability across multi-site deployments. Packaging as core pack supports streamlined stocking and bulk orders, minimizing handling and waste. When combined with Eaton's engineering support and compatible connectors, the AH5666BK offers a compelling total-cost-of- ownership advantage for OEMs and maintenance teams seeking reliable, long-life power connections.

FAQs

Power must be OFF before installation. Strip conductors to the recommended length and insert into the back-wire clamps, ensuring proper orientation and polarity. Tighten terminal screws to the specified torque of 12–14 lbf-in, then verify tightness with a torque tool. Check for secure seating and perform a continuity test to confirm a solid, low-resistance connection before energizing the circuit.
AH5666BK is RoHS compliant and UL NOM listed, with Federal Specification Classification 6221 02. These certifications confirm regulatory compliance, safety, and reliability for industrial installations, easing supplier audits, and ensuring compatibility with common plant safety and environmental requirements.
Yes. The plug is rated for 15A at 250V and uses a two-pole, three-wire grounding configuration (6-15P), making it well-suited for control panels, motor starters, and power distribution enclosures in typical 250V industrial applications. The back-wire design also streamlines field wiring in crowded panel spaces.
AH5666BK uses the NEMA 6-15P configuration, a two-pole, three-wire grounding standard. This affects compatibility by ensuring mating with compatible straight-blade receptacles and downstream equipment designed for 6-15P connectors, commonly found in industrial power distribution and equipment connections.
The nylon body and brass contacts offer durable, low-wear performance in harsh environments, reducing replacement frequency. Back-wire terminations simplify field service, lowering labor costs. The combination of RoHS/UL NOM compliance and robust torque reliability minimizes downtime, improving asset uptime and total cost of ownership over the equipment’s lifecycle.
