Cooper Wiring Devices 5461B Nema 6-20R 20A 250V Single Receptacle

Product Description

The COOPER WIRING DEVICES 5461B is a straight blade single receptacle rated for NEMA 6-20R service at 20 amps and 250 volts AC. Built for industrial environments, the 5461B features a self-grounding design, a two-pole three-wire configuration, and a flush mount body molded from nylon. The nylon construction provides chemical, heat, and impact resistance, making it suitable for demanding installations where standard-grade devices would be inadequate. Licensed electricians install this receptacle in commercial and industrial branch circuits requiring 250-volt single-phase power. It ships as a single unit and carries UL Listing, CSA Certification, NOM 426, and UL Federal Specification recognition.

The 5461B is appropriate for 20-amp, 250-volt single-phase circuits in industrial facilities, commercial workshops, and equipment rooms where NEMA 6-20R receptacles are specified. Its flush mount profile fits standard electrical boxes, and the back and side wiring method accommodates both quick-connect and screw-terminal field wiring. The brown color finish is a common indicator of 250-volt industrial-grade devices and aids visual identification in multi-voltage panel and outlet layouts. This receptacle is a single-gang, non-flanged device intended for permanent wall or box installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker and verify absence of voltage with a meter before wiring. Torque all screw terminals to the value marked on the device body or listed in the manufacturer documentation. Do not exceed the 20-amp circuit rating or connect to any circuit configuration other than a grounded 250-volt single-phase supply.
