Safety Certifications

UL 498, CSA C22.2 No. 42, NEMA WD-6, NOM-003-SCFI for Mexico

Color Options

Standard: Ivory, Gray, Black • Custom colors available upon request

Dimensions

1.5″ W × 2.8″ H × 1.6″ D (T-slot design), low-profile 1.3″ depth version

Operating Temperature Range

-40°C to 75°C (125°C with ceramic housing)

Lifespan Rating

10,000+ insertion cycles, hospital-grade versions exceed 20,000 cycles

Country/Region Compatibility

India/Canada compliant, BS 1363 adapters for UK compatibility

Contact Resistance

<8mΩ, silver-nickel alloy contacts standard

Backbox Compatibility

Fits 4.5 cu. in. boxes, gangable for multi-receptacle configurations

Breaking Capacity

10kA interrupting rating, arc-fault interruption on GFCI models

Fire Resistance

UL94 V-0, ceramic-filled option for plenum spaces

Technical Advantages

Our NEMA 5-20R sockets come with silver-nickel alloy contacts to hold current strong and resist wear. The screw terminals accept 12AWG and 10AWG wires for high-load wiring setups. 

Housing uses flame-rated nylon or ceramic-fill for plenum safety and high-heat zones. You can mount in low-profile boxes or gang for multi-socket layouts, with options for weather resistance.

Industry Applications

Food Equipment

Powers ovens and fryers in kitchens without melting or breaking under peak cooking heat. 

Industrial Tools

Runs drills and sanders in workshops, holding firm through constant machine vibrations. 

Portable Generators

Connects heavy-duty tools in mobile setups, standing up to field conditions. 

Medical Carts

Powers diagnostic devices and patient monitors, where failure is not an option. 

Construction Sites

Supports saws and mixers with high surge loads, even in rugged outdoor settings. 

Server Racks

Delivers steady power to cooling fans and control units, keeping data centers active. 

Durable Socket for Demanding Loads

Heavy draw from tools or machines puts regular sockets at risk of overheating and early damage. Our NEMA 5-20R keeps current stable under continuous load without cracks or arc faults.  

It handles rough use in workshops, labs, or field gear without slowing down. We build it to stay safe, last long, and keep your equipment powered every day.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

Can this socket handle inductive loads like motor tools or HVAC starters?

Yes, it supports 25A peak for inductive loads without contact degradation. Silver-nickel alloy contacts reduce wear from surge currents. This makes it reliable for power tools, compressors, and fan-driven systems.

How does the socket prevent overheating in high-use zones?

The UL94 V-0 nylon body resists thermal buildup under continuous draw. It also supports airflow with its low-profile build. These reduce the chances of heat soak in tight spaces.

Is this socket suitable for low-clearance wall boxes?

Yes, the 1.3-inch low-profile version fits shallow or crowded boxes easily. It maintains T-slot compliance while reducing mounting depth. This helps in tight installs without cutting back walls.

Can this be used for global equipment with adapters?

Yes, it’s India and Canada standard but supports BS 1363 adapters for UK gear. Its terminal layout stays stable under conversion loads. This makes it useful for export-compliant builds.

Does this model support multi-gang setups in panels?

Yes, it fits 4.5 cu. in. boxes and allows gangable alignment. You can mount several side by side without overheating risk. That makes it a fit for industrial and commercial panels.
