FAQs
The AH5965BK uses back-wire terminals designed for #18-12 AWG conductors. Strip insulation per conductor, insert into the back-wire clamp until the conductor seats, and tighten the screw to the specified torque of 12-14 lbf-in. Verify conductors are fully seated and re-check torque after initial energization to ensure a secure, code-compliant connection.
Key specs include a 15A amperage rating and 125V voltage rating, brass contact material for reliable conductivity, and a two-pole, three-wire grounding configuration. These specifications support standard industrial power distribution while meeting RoHS and cULus certifications for safety and compliance.
Yes. With its straight blade design, back-wire capability, and NEMA 5-15P configuration, AH5965BK is well-suited for control panels and equipment enclosures where quick, durable power connections are required. Its nylon body and robust terminals withstand industrial environments, reducing maintenance frequency.
AH5965BK is RoHS compliant and cULus listed. RoHS ensures restricted hazardous substances are managed, while cULus listing confirms adherence to safety standards for electrical equipment used in North America. These certifications simplify procurement and support regulatory compliance across manufacturing facilities.
Benefits include faster installation due to reliable back-wire terminations, reduced rework from secure connections, and standardized components with broad compatibility (NEMA 5-15P). Over time, these factors translate into lower labor costs, fewer field failures, and improved overall equipment uptime in high-volume manufacturing environments.
