Leviton 5362-sw 20A 125V Duplex Receptacle White

Product Description

The LEVITON 5362-sw is a heavy-duty duplex receptacle rated at 20 amps and 125 volts, designed for demanding commercial and industrial wiring applications. It features a 5-20R straight-blade configuration with a self-grounding strap, eliminating the need for a separate ground wire connection to the device. The body and face are molded from impact-resistant thermoplastic nylon, while the contacts are brass and the mounting strap is galvanized steel. Licensed electricians install this receptacle where robust, long-service-life outlets are required. It supports both back-wire and side-wire terminations and carries a 1 HP motor load power rating.

This receptacle is suited for industrial facilities, commercial construction, and specification-grade electrical installations where standard residential-grade devices are not acceptable. The narrow duplex form factor fits standard single-gang boxes. The 5-20R configuration accepts both 5-15P and 5-20P plugs, making it appropriate for workshop circuits, equipment drops, and dedicated branch circuits in commercial occupancies. It is commonly specified in electrical construction documents calling for heavy-duty or specification-grade receptacles.
