Cooper Wiring Devices 5269 NEMA 5-15R Grip Connector, 15A/125V

The Cooper Wiring Devices 5269 Grip Connector is a two-pole, three-wire grounding connector built for reliable cord-and-plug connections on 125V circuits. Rated 15A and configured to NEMA 5-15R, this connector combines brass contacts with a durable nylon housing to deliver dependable performance in commercial and industrial applications. This connector family is offered in Auto and Ultra types, covering both standard field-wiring assemblies and heavy-duty cord-set builds, while sharing the same 15A/125V electrical rating and NEMA 5-15R configuration across both. Its screw-terminal connection accepts #16 - #12 AWG wire, making it a versatile choice for field wiring and cord-set assembly wherever a code-compliant grounding connector is required.

Key Features

  • NEMA Configuration: 5-15R receptacle configuration for standard 15A/125V grounded plugs, shared across the Auto and Ultra types in this family.
  • Durable Construction: Nylon housing paired with brass contacts for long-lasting strength and reliable conductivity in demanding environments.
  • Screw Connection: Screw-terminal wiring accepts #16 - #12 AWG wire for secure, code-compliant terminations.
  • Electrical Rating: Rated 15A at 125V for standard general-purpose branch circuits, consistent across both available types.
  • Two-Pole, Three-Wire Grounding: Grounding design provides an added layer of safety for connected equipment and personnel.
  • Type Selection: Available in Auto and Ultra configurations to match the specific cord-connection application and durability requirements of the job.
  • Design Type: Purpose-built connector body for cord-connection applications, ideal for field-installed cord sets.
  • Finish: Black housing for a clean, professional appearance on completed cord assemblies.

Cooper Wiring Devices 5269N – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size wire can I terminate in the Cooper 5269 grip connector?
The Cooper Wiring Devices 5-15R grip connector takes #16 through #12 AWG on screw terminals. That covers the usual cord sizes for a 15A circuit, 16/3 SJ cord on light equipment up through 12/3 on a heavier extension or drop. Anything larger than #12 will not land in the terminals, and stranded cord conductors should be twisted tight before they go under the screw heads.
2) Will a standard three-prong 120V plug fit this connector?
Yes. It is wired to NEMA 5-15R, the same pattern as a standard household or commercial 15A receptacle, so any ordinary grounded three-prong 5-15P plug seats in it. It will not accept a 5-20P plug with the sideways neutral blade, and it is not for 240V or twist-lock cord caps.
3) Is this a female cord end or a plug?
It is the female end. A grip connector is the receptacle half of a cord set, the piece you attach to the end of a flexible cord so equipment can plug into it. If you need the male end that goes into the wall, you want a 5-15P plug cap instead, not this part.
4) What is an equivalent to the Cooper 5269 grip connector for a harsher environment?
The Eaton Arrow Hart severe duty straight blade connector shares the same NEMA 5-15R configuration at 15A 125V, so it lands on the same cord sets and the same 125V branch circuits as the Cooper 5269. The difference is the grade: Eaton lists that connector as severe duty, while the Cooper 5269 is built with a nylon housing and brass contacts. If the cord set is getting dragged across a jobsite deck or living in a wash-down area, the severe duty body is the one to spec; for in-plant equipment cords and general facility MRO the nylon-bodied Cooper 5269 covers the same electrical duty.
5) What is the difference between the Cooper 5269 and the 5269N grip connector?
Both are the same NEMA 5-15R, 15A/125V grip connector body. The difference is the type designation: 5269 is the Ultra and 5269N is the Auto. Order by the part number that matches what is already in your cord-set inventory so the bodies and terminations stay consistent across the fleet.
6) Does this connector have a ground, or is it two-wire only?
It is two-pole, three-wire grounding, so hot, neutral and an equipment ground. There is a ground terminal for the green conductor in your cord. That is what you need for grounded tools, appliance cords and any commercial cord set where the equipment has a three-prong cap.
7) What else could I use instead of the Cooper 5269 for a 15A 125V cord end?
The Eaton Arrow Hart Severe Duty straight blade connector is the same 15A 125V NEMA 5-15R configuration and is graded Severe Duty, which is the direction to go if the cord lives outdoors or gets abused on a construction site. The Cooper 5269 with its nylon body and screw terminals is the straightforward pick for in-facility cord sets and equipment cords.
8) Can I put this on a 20 amp circuit?
The connector itself is rated 15A at 125V, so it can sit on a 20A branch circuit the way a standard 15A receptacle does, but the cord and the load still have to stay within 15 amps. Do not use it as a 20A cord end, and match the cord ampacity to the connector rating rather than the breaker.
9) Will a NEMA 5-15R connector accept the same plugs as a wall receptacle?
Yes on the blade pattern. The Cooper 5269 is configured 5-15R, two-pole three-wire grounding at 15A 125V, which is the same face a standard grounded 15A plug mates with. The difference is what it mounts to: the 5269 is a connector body that terminates on the end of a cord under screw terminals taking #16 to #12 AWG, not a device that fits a wall box. The Eaton Arrow Hart severe duty connector is the same 5-15R cord-end style of device rather than a wall receptacle. If you need a box-mounted outlet, a connector body is not the substitute.
10) Will a nylon connector body hold up on a maintenance cart or shop cord?
Housing is nylon with brass contacts. Nylon takes the drops and drags better than a thermoplastic body, and brass keeps the contact resistance down over repeated plug-ins, which is what kills cheap cord ends on high-cycle carts and jobsite reels.
11) What color is the Cooper grip connector body?
Black. That matters mostly for fleet consistency, if you are standardizing cord ends across a building or a rental fleet, the black nylon body keeps the repaired cords looking like the rest and makes it easy to spot a mismatched replacement.
