Eaton AH8462N Plug - Extra Heavy-Duty 60A 250V UL 6233

Part Number: AH8462N
Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
AH8462N

Quick Summary

The AH8462N plug from Eaton is a heavy-duty auto grip plug designed for industrial range and dryer connections. Too many terminations loosen under vibration, causing downtime and safety concerns. This model carries UL Federal Specification Classification 6233 01, reinforcing reliability for harsh environments and long service life. The rugged nylon/thermoplastic body and brass contacts support consistent, low-resistance connections in demanding facilities, while the back-wire, four-wire configuration simplifies installation and reduces wiring errors. For engineers and procurement teams, this translates to faster maintenance cycles, reduced field calls, and scalable compatibility with Arrow Hart accessories and standard NEMA configurations.

Feature: extra heavy-duty auto grip design and brass contact material. This combination delivers low contact resistance and robust current handling, which directly reduces overheating and maintenance costs in high-load cycles. Application: industrial power connections for heavy-use environments like ovens, dryers, and large-range appliances in manufacturing settings. Feature: back-wire wiring method supporting #12-4 AWG. This approach speeds installation and minimizes the chance of loose terminations caused by terminal screws, improving safety. Application: back-wire connections in 60A circuits for industrial ranges and dryers on production lines. Feature: nylon body with nylon/thermoplastic face. Impact: chemical resistance, UV stability, and lighter weight for easier handling, reducing risk of damage during shipment and installation. Application: harsh factory floors and remote installations. Feature: three-pole, four-wire grounding with 15-60P configuration. Benefit: ensures proper grounding and compatibility with standard equipment, simplifying OEM integration. Application: heavy-duty plug assemblies in commercial and industrial environments. Feature: torque rating of 30–35 lbf-in. Effect: promotes repeatable terminations and long-term contact integrity, lowering service calls after maintenance. Application: field servicing and OEM installs where reliable clamping force matters. Feature: core pack packaging. Benefit: minimizes waste and streamlines stocking for distributors and large projects. Application: distribution centers and manufacturing lines with high-volume component reuse.

FAQs

AH8462N supports back-wire connections for #12-4 AWG conductors, is a 60A, 250V three-pole four-wire grounding plug with NEMA 15-60P configuration, and aligns with Arrow Hart compatibility. It is ideal for industrial range and dryer circuits, offering secure terminations in vibration-prone environments and straightforward field service.
Key performance specs include a 60A amperage rating, 250V voltage rating, brass contact material, nylon/thermoplastic body, back-wire wiring method, four conductors, three poles, and a torque rating of 30-35 lbf-in. These specs support reliable power delivery in industrial settings and meet UL 6233-01 criteria for durability.
Yes. The unit uses a nylon/thermoplastic body with brass contacts designed for high-load, harsh environments such as range and dryer applications in manufacturing. Its back-wire design minimizes loose-term termination risks, while the 60A/250V rating supports robust continuous operation in industrial facilities seeking dependable power connections.
AH8462N is listed under UL Federal Specification Classification 6233 01, which supports reliability and safety for industrial receptacles. Its grounding, three-pole four-wire configuration, and back-wire method align with established industrial wiring practices, helping facilities meet regulatory and electrical codes during installation and maintenance.
The auto grip design reduces miswiring risk and downtime, while brass contacts maintain low contact resistance over time. Coupled with rugged materials and efficient back-wire installation, this plug lowers field service calls, extends service intervals, and provides predictable maintenance costs for OEMs and maintenance teams managing high-volume installations.
