NEMA 5-15R Sockets

Why accept limitations in connectivity when your devices demand dependable current flow? Our NEMA 5-15R Sockets delivers steady 120V AC power with 15A capacity, built for long-term residential and light commercial performance. 

Voltage Rating

120V AC, 60Hz (240V/50Hz variants for export markets)

Current Rating

15A continuous (20A T-slot design available for commercial use)

IP Rating

IP20 (standard indoor) / Optional: IP55 (dust-resistant) for garage/outdoor use

Terminal Type

Side-wire (back-stab optional) / Heavy-duty screw terminals (12AWG solid-core compatible)

Material Construction

Thermoplastic (UL94 V-0) / Optional: Polycarbonate (impact-resistant) or metal-clad (stainless steel)

Product Description

Disruptions from low-grade sockets can cause overheating, arcing, or downtime. We use flame-retardant thermoplastics and heavy-duty screw terminals to reduce those risks and improve electrical continuity in regular or high-load conditions. 

Mounting Type

Standard duplex receptacle (fits NEMA wall plates) / Optional: Flush-mount or surface-mount kits

Safety Certifications

UL 498, CSA C22.2, RoHS (NOM-003-SCFI for Mexico on request)

Color Options

White, Ivory, Light Almond (custom colors min. 1,000 units)

Dimensions

1.36″ W × 2.74″ H × 1.46″ D (standard duplex) / Slim 1.1″ depth for shallow boxes

Operating Temperature Range

-30°C to 60°C (high-temp nylon version up to 90°C)

Lifespan Rating

5,000+ insertion cycles (15,000-cycle commercial-grade option)

Country/Region Compatibility

USA, Canada, Mexico / 220V versions for South America/Asia

Contact Resistance

<10 mΩ (gold-plated contacts for low-energy devices)

Backbox Compatibility

Fits standard 1-gang US electrical boxes (2″×4″) / Deep 4.5 cu. in. for smart modules

Breaking Capacity

1,500A (10kA available with integrated arc-fault protection)

Fire Resistance

UL94 V-0 (self-extinguishing) / Optional: Ceramic-filled for plenum spaces

Technical Advantages

Socket designs require secure wiring and fire-tested housings to prevent energy loss.
We use UL94 V-0 thermoplastics and 12AWG-rated screw terminals to match solid-core wiring expectations. 

Overloaded circuits can cause thermal stress in closed spaces. We include optional ceramic-filled back options for plenum use and offer T-slot models for 20A environments.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

Does this socket support both residential and commercial wall boxes?

Yes, it fits all standard 1-gang US electrical boxes, including flush and surface-mount kits. We also offer slim-depth versions for shallow wall cavities often found in commercial drywall partitions. This helps avoid installation delays in mixed-use projects.

Can I use this socket with solid and stranded copper wires?

Yes, the terminals support both 12AWG solid-core and 14AWG stranded copper wires. Side-wire and heavy-duty screw terminal options ensure stable contact under variable load conditions. This prevents loosening in high-vibration or frequent-use setups.

Is there a version suitable for garages or partially covered outdoor areas?

Yes, we offer an IP55-rated version with dust-resistant sealing for garages and semi-exposed walls. These sockets include reinforced enclosures and gasketed covers for added protection. They perform well in enclosed porches, tool sheds, or similar environments.

Can these sockets handle arc protection without adding external modules?

Yes, certain models come with built-in arc-fault capacity rated up to 10kA. This supports circuits where external AFCI breakers aren’t preferred or available. It helps meet code requirements in tighter retrofit or modular builds.

Are custom colors or finishes possible for project-based orders?

Yes, we provide color variants like white, ivory, and almond by default. For large-scale projects, custom finishes or branded colors are available. This allows visual integration with interior themes or panel designs.
