Eaton Specification Sheet - SA940
Back-wire terminations for #16 AWG provide fast, secure connections with reduced field wiring errors, delivering measurable installation time savings and improved reliability in panel builds. This translates to lower labor costs and less rework in control cabinets and industrial equipment. Polarized design and a dedicated cord clip ensure correct mating orientation and robust strain relief, minimizing mis-wiring and cord movement during vibration-heavy operations. The brass contact material delivers dependable conductivity with durable, low-resistance performance, while the impact-resistant thermoplastic housing protects the assembly in dirty or collision-prone environments, reducing replacement cycles. A compact straight-body form with a 0.33 inch cord diameter compatibility supports tight panel layouts and quick field swaps. Compatibility with back-wire screws and standard core-pack packaging streamlines stocking and reduces procurement complexity.
