Eaton 4229-BOX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Eaton 4229-BOX connector mate with a NEMA 6-20P plug on my equipment cord?
Yes. The Eaton 4229-BOX is a 6-20R female connector body, so it accepts a NEMA 6-20P straight blade plug. The 6-20R pattern is two-pole, three-wire grounding, rated 20A at 250V. A 6-15P plug will also enter a 6-20R, since the 15A plug blades are both vertical, but a 5-15P or 5-20P 125V plug will not fit.
2) What wire size can I land in the Eaton 4229-BOX connector?
The 4229-BOX takes #18 through #12 AWG conductors on back wire screw terminals. That covers 12 AWG for a full 20A circuit as well as smaller cord sizes on lighter equipment. Three conductors land: two hot and one equipment ground.
3) Can I use a 250V 6-20R connector on a 120V circuit?
No. The 4229-BOX is wired two-pole, three-wire with both poles hot, which is a 250V arrangement rated 20A. A 120V cord needs a 5-20R or 5-15R device with a hot, a neutral and a ground. Using the 6-20R pattern on 120V also leaves the cord able to accept 250V equipment, which is the reason the configurations are keyed differently.
4) Is the 4229-BOX a plug or a connector body?
It is a connector body, the female end of a cord assembly. A 6-20R connector goes on the load end of an extension or equipment cord so a 6-20P plug can be inserted into it. If you need the male end that goes into a 6-20R receptacle, you want a 6-20P plug instead.
5) What part number do I order for the Eaton Arrow Hart 6-20R connector?
Order Eaton Arrow Hart 4229-BOX. That single model number covers the yellow 6-20R, 20A 250V connector body with back wire screw terminals.
6) Why is this Eaton connector yellow, and does the color mean anything electrically?
The yellow thermoplastic housing is for visual identification on the jobsite, not an electrical rating. Crews use it to spot a 250V 20A cord end quickly in a pile of cords. The rating comes from the 6-20R configuration stamped on the device, so always read the pattern rather than relying on color.
7) Is the Eaton 4229-BOX tough enough for shop and jobsite cord repair?
It is built to commercial grade, with a thermoplastic housing and brass contacts for conductivity and corrosion resistance. Typical use is rebuilding worn or damaged cord ends on portable 250V equipment and commercial or light industrial power cords. For heavy abuse applications where the cord gets dragged and dropped constantly, an extra-hard-use or industrial-grade device is the step up.
