Value Collection BD-18741 Straight Blade Connector 5-15R

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18741 is an industrial-grade straight blade connector rated for 15 amps at 125 volts AC. It features a NEMA 5-15R configuration with 2 poles and 3 wires, making it a self-grounded female connector designed for standard grounded circuits. The no-angle (straight) body style suits panel-mount and in-line wiring applications. The yellow housing provides quick visual identification on job sites where color-coding by circuit or voltage class is standard practice. This connector is installed by licensed electricians and maintenance technicians in industrial and commercial settings.

This connector is suited for industrial power distribution, machine wiring, portable equipment hookups, and maintenance-replacement applications where a NEMA 5-15R female receptacle connector is required. The self-grounding design simplifies termination and supports code-compliant wiring on 125-volt, single-phase circuits. The yellow color distinguishes it from standard white or black residential connectors, which is useful in facilities that follow color-coded wiring practices for circuit identification.

Key Features

• NEMA 5-15R configuration for standard 125-volt grounded circuits
• 15-amp rating supports typical single-phase industrial loads
• Self-grounded design simplifies installation and supports NEC compliance
• Straight blade, no-angle body for panel-mount and in-line use
• Yellow housing for easy visual identification and color-coded circuit management
• 2-pole, 3-wire construction with ground path built in

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation connector for industrial and commercial 125-volt, 15-amp grounded circuits using NEMA 5-15R female connector configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any wiring. Ensure conductor sizing matches the 15-amp rating of the connector. Do not exceed the rated voltage or amperage for this device.
