The 15A, 125V rating paired with a back-wire method reduces field assembly time and minimizes miswiring in tight panel spaces, delivering measurable productivity gains on every installation. Brass contact material and a nylon body provide robust wear resistance and corrosion protection, extending service life in harsh manufacturing environments and lowering maintenance costs over the plug’s lifecycle. Compatibility with 5-15P receptacles and a two-pole, three-wire grounding configuration ensures seamless integration into common control panels, power distribution racks, and machine wiring, speeding up design validation and reducing rework. The cord range of 0.22-0.66 inches and screw termination support a wide variety of field cables, enabling flexible stocking and simplified procurement. A core-pack packaging approach and Arrow Hart ecosystem compatibility further streamline inventory and installation workflows for high-volume builds.

FAQs
AH5965Y uses back-wire termination compatible with #18-12 AWG conductors, simplifying field wiring by allowing push-in or screw-assisted connections. The design supports secure, code-compliant terminations within the 15A, 125V rating, and the torque range ensures a reliable connection without over-tightening. This makes installation faster and reduces the risk of loose wires in dense panel environments.
RoHS compliance ensures that the plug is free from restricted substances, supporting sustainability and regulatory conformity in many markets. cULus listing confirms compliance with electrical safety standards for North American installations. Together, these certifications provide confidence for panel builders seeking reliable, regulator-approved components for industrial control applications.
Yes, AH5965Y supports the NEMA 5-15P configuration as a two-pole, three-wire grounding plug. This compatibility simplifies panel design by aligning with common, widely available receptacles and cords, reducing custom wiring needs and enabling interchangeable components across equipment and control panels in manufacturing environments.
The torque rating for AH5965Y is 12–14 lbf-in, guiding proper tightening of the screw terminals to ensure a solid, conductive path. During installation, verify wire size, strip length, and clean contacts, then secure back-wire connections with the specified torque to prevent loosening in vibration-prone industrial settings.
In high-volume builds, AH5965Y offers fast, repeatable terminations with back-wire connections, reducing labor time per connection. Durable nylon construction minimizes wear and replacement costs, while RoHS and cULus certifications reduce warranty and compliance risk. Overall, expect lower installation labor costs and higher panel reliability across thousands of assemblies.
