FAQs
To install AH5969Y, first verify the rating and ensure the circuit is de-energized. Prepare the conductors for back-wire termination, strip to the recommended length, and insert into the back-wire clamp. Tighten the screw to the specified 12-14 lbf-in torque, then test for continuity and proper grounding. Use appropriate PPE and verify consistent contact before commissioning the panel.
AH5969Y is rated for 15A at 125V, designed for 18-12 AWG conductors, with brass contact material and a nylon body. These specs ensure reliable conduction and resistance to wear in industrial environments. The 12-14 lbf-in torque requirement provides consistent clamping force, reducing loosening from vibration and improving long-term connection integrity in control panels and equipment.
Yes. AH5969Y is a two-pole, three-wire grounding connector configured for NEMA 5-15R receptacles, aligning with common US and Canadian wiring conventions. Its back-wire termination and screw connection support straightforward field assembly on 18-12 AWG cables, making it a practical choice for typical industrial power and control circuits.
AH5969Y carries RoHS compliance and cULus listing, indicating adherence to substance restrictions and UL-listed safety standards for the US and Canada. These certifications help facilities meet regulatory requirements, simplify vendor qualification, and reduce risk during audits, especially in regulated industries and equipment with stringent safety and environmental controls.
The ROI comes from faster wiring and fewer field reworks thanks to back-wire terminations and a secure screw connection. The 18-12 AWG compatibility, 15A/125V rating, and durable nylon/brass construction extend service life and reduce maintenance costs. Core-pack packaging also lowers stocking and logistics costs, improving overall project and asset uptime.
