Eaton 4509-BOX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Eaton 4509-BOX plug fit a NEMA 6-20R receptacle?
Yes. The 4509-BOX is a 6-20P configuration, which is the plug half of the NEMA 6-20 pattern, so it mates with a 6-20R receptacle. That pattern is two-pole, three-wire grounding at 250V, so it is for a dedicated 240V circuit, not a 125V 5-20 outlet. If the receptacle on the wall has two angled blade slots plus a ground, you are in the right family.
2) What size cord and wire does the Eaton 4509-BOX 20A plug accept?
Conductors from #18 through #12 AWG, with a cord outside diameter of 0.25 to 0.66 inches for the strain relief to grip properly. That covers typical 12/3 SJ and SO cord down to light 18/3 flexible cord. If your cord jacket is larger than 0.66 inches, the clamp will not close on it and you need a different plug body.
3) Can I use this Eaton plug to replace the end on a 20A 240V tool cord?
That is one of its intended uses. The 4509-BOX is a cord-end replacement plug with back wire screw terminals, rated 20A at 250V, so it suits repairing or building 240V equipment cord sets and shop tool cords. You cut back the jacket, land the two hots and the ground under the screws, and clamp the jacket.
4) Is the 4509-BOX wired with back wire or side screw terminals?
Back wire with screw terminals. Conductors enter from the back of the body and clamp under the screws, which is faster to land than a side-wrap and holds stranded cord conductors more securely. No crimp lugs or special tool needed, just a screwdriver.
5) How many wires do I need to land in the Eaton 4509-BOX?
Three: two ungrounded (hot) conductors and an equipment ground. It is a two-pole, three-wire grounding device, so there is no neutral terminal. If your equipment needs both 240V and a neutral for 120V controls, this plug is the wrong configuration.
6) Why is this Eaton Arrow Hart plug yellow, and does the color affect the rating?
The yellow body is for visibility and quick identification of 250V cord ends on a jobsite or in a plant, where crews often color-code by voltage. It has no effect on the electrical rating: 20A, 250V either way. The housing is vinyl with brass contacts.
7) What is the exact Eaton part number to order for this yellow 6-20P plug?
Eaton Arrow Hart 4509-BOX. The BOX suffix is the boxed packaging of the vinyl plug body; the device itself is the 6-20P, 20A, 250V yellow straight blade plug.
