Eaton 4887-BOX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Eaton 4887-BOX accept a standard household plug?
Yes. The 4887-BOX is a 5-15R female connector, the same two-pole three-wire grounding configuration as a standard 125V household receptacle, rated 15A at 125V. Any ordinary 5-15P grounding plug mates with it. It is the cord-end body, not a wall receptacle, so it goes on the end of a flexible cord to feed a tool or appliance.
2) What size cord will fit the Eaton 4887-BOX connector?
The ED box housing clamps cable with an outside diameter of 0.25 to 0.66 inches, and the terminals take #18 through #12 AWG conductors. That covers common 16/3, 14/3 and 12/3 flexible cord. Anything with a jacket larger than 0.66 inches will not clamp properly, and solid or stranded conductors heavier than #12 will not land in the terminals.
3) Can I use this connector on a 20 amp circuit or with 12/3 cord on a 20A tool?
The 4887-BOX is rated 15A at 125V, so it must not be used as a 20A device even though it accepts #12 AWG conductors. Feeding it from a 20A branch circuit is normal practice for a 15A cord-connected load, but the connector itself limits the attached equipment to 15A. A 20A load needs a 5-20R body instead.
4) How does the 4887-BOX terminate, back wire or screws?
Both. The 4887-BOX offers back wire and screw termination, so you can push the conductor into the back wire pocket and clamp it, or wrap it under the terminal screw. Back wiring is faster on a cordset run and gives a flat clamp on fine-stranded cord.
5) Do I need a plug as well, or is one included with this connector?
Only the connector body is supplied. A 5-15R connector is the female cord end; if you are building a complete cordset you also need a 5-15P male plug for the supply end, plus the SJ-type flexible cord in a 0.25 to 0.66 inch jacket diameter with #18 to #12 AWG conductors.
6) Is a vinyl connector body like this good enough for shop and maintenance use, or do I need a rubber one?
Vinyl bodies with brass contacts are commercial grade and hold up to routine shop, facility maintenance and portable tool duty, including extension cord repair. Where a cord end gets dragged over concrete, dropped repeatedly, or exposed to oils and cold, a thermoplastic rubber or elastomeric body is the more impact and abrasion tolerant choice. For indoor 15A 125V equipment connections, this one is the usual fit.
7) Can I use the Eaton 4887-BOX outdoors or in a wet location?
Treat it as a general-purpose indoor connector. The data covers it as a commercial grade vinyl-housed 5-15R for cordsets, portable equipment and cord repair, with no weatherproof or wet-location construction. For outdoor or damp duty, specify a connector built as a weather-resistant or wet-location device with a sealing boot.
8) Is the yellow on this Arrow Hart connector painted or molded in?
The yellow is the vinyl housing itself, not a coating, so scuffing on a job site will not expose a different color underneath. The high-visibility yellow is why electricians and facility crews use it on temporary power and portable equipment cords where the cord end needs to be spotted on a floor.
9) What is the exact Eaton part number for the yellow 5-15R Arrow Hart connector?
Order it as Eaton 4887-BOX, Arrow Hart straight blade series, yellow, 5-15R, 15A 125V.
