Eaton 224-BOX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Eaton 224-BOX connector accept a standard two-prong 15A plug?
Yes. The 224-BOX is a NEMA 1-15R female cord connector, so it mates with any standard two-pole, two-wire non-grounding straight blade plug (NEMA 1-15P) rated 15A at 125V. It will not accept a three-prong grounding plug, since there is no ground slot.
2) Can I use the Eaton 224-BOX on equipment that needs a ground wire?
No. It's a two-pole, two-wire non-grounding device, so there is no equipment ground path. Use it only on cord sets and portable equipment that are not required to be grounded, such as double-insulated tools or two-wire lamp and appliance cords. If the equipment has a three-conductor cord, you need a grounding 5-15R connector instead.
3) What wire size does the Eaton 224-BOX connector take?
It terminates #18 through #10 AWG conductors, which covers typical 18/2 lamp cord up to 10 AWG flexible cord. Termination is by screw, with back wire capability, so stranded cord conductors can be landed without a crimp terminal.
4) Is this an in-line cord connector or a receptacle I mount in a wall box?
The 224-BOX is a cord-mounted female connector, not a wall device. It gets wired onto the end of a flexible cord to make a 1-15R outlet at the cord end, which is what you want when repairing an extension cord or building a portable equipment cord set. For a wall opening you need a flush or surface receptacle instead.
5) Is the Eaton 224-BOX tough enough for commercial maintenance work?
It's built to commercial grade: brass current-carrying parts, a black thermoplastic housing and a thermoplastic rubber body, which is what lets it take cord flexing and handling on portable equipment. Typical use is field replacement of damaged connectors and general commercial cord repair.
6) Can I put the 224-BOX on a 20 amp circuit or a 240 volt cord?
No. The rating is 15A at 125V only. Don't use it on 250V equipment or as a 20A device; a 20A load needs a 5-20 configuration and 240V needs a 6-series device. On a 20A branch circuit it can still be used for a 15A cord-connected load, which is normal practice, but the connector itself is a 15A device.
7) What is the exact part number to order this Eaton two-wire cord connector?
Order Eaton 224-BOX. That's the manufacturer part number for the 15A 125V, NEMA 1-15R two-pole two-wire non-grounding black cord connector.
