Back-wire termination simplifies field wiring and minimizes miswirings, reducing installation time and labor costs in industrial panels and healthcare equipment. The AH8315HG supports #18-12 AWG conductors and uses a screw termination for a secure, consistent connection, improving long-term reliability in demanding environments. The 125V, 20A rating and NEMA 5-20P compatibility ensure you can standardize power delivery across mixed equipment footprints while maintaining safety margins. A durable nylon body with brass contacts delivers corrosion resistance and high conductivity, translating to lower maintenance needs and fewer replacement parts over the life of the installation. The device is rated for hospital-grade duty with a 14 lbf-in torque specification, enabling repeatable terminations and reduced installer variance. Packaging as a core pack supports efficient stocking, quick replacements, and streamlined procurement for large projects. This combination of features helps facilities meet regulatory requirements while optimizing total cost of ownership.
