Eaton 183BK-BOX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Eaton 183BK-BOX plug work on a three-wire grounded cord?
No. The 183BK-BOX is a 2-pole, 2-wire non-grounding plug in the NEMA 1-15P configuration, so it has two blades and no ground pin. There is no terminal for an equipment grounding conductor. If the cord you are repairing has a green ground wire, or the equipment requires a ground path, you need a NEMA 5-15P grounding plug instead.
2) What wire gauge does the Eaton 183BK-BOX straight blade plug accept?
It takes #18 through #10 AWG conductors, which covers typical 18/2 and 16/2 light-duty cord sets right up through 10 AWG. Wires land on screw terminals with a back-wire connection, so you strip and clamp rather than form loops around the posts.
3) Can I use a 15A 125V non-grounding plug to replace a two-prong lamp or appliance cord end?
That is exactly what the 183BK-BOX is for. It is rated 15A at 125V on a standard 120V branch circuit and is sold for commercial cord-and-plug assemblies and light-duty equipment cord replacement where no grounding conductor is present. Do not use it to replace a three-prong plug on grounded equipment.
4) Is the Eaton 183BK-BOX polarized, and does that matter for how I wire it?
It is a NEMA 1-15P two-wire device, so wire the hot (black or smooth-jacket) conductor and the neutral (white or ribbed) conductor to their matching screw terminals and keep polarity consistent with the equipment you are feeding. There is no third terminal, so nothing goes to ground.
5) What are the blades on the Eaton 183BK-BOX made of, and will they hold up in a receptacle that gets plugged and unplugged a lot?
The contact blades are brass at 0.328 inch, housed in a black thermoplastic body with thermoplastic rubber elements. Brass blades in a commercial-grade body are what a facility maintenance crew wants for repeated cord connections, rather than a residential plated-steel plug.
6) What is the Eaton part number to order for this black 15A two-wire plug?
Order Eaton 183BK-BOX. One part number covers it, black thermoplastic, 15A 125V, NEMA 1-15P non-grounding, with no finish or size options to specify.
