Pass & Seymour 5197-2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the Pass & Seymour 5197-0 and 5197-2 pin and sleeve inlets?
Amperage is the only difference called out. The 5197-0 is the 16 ampere version and the 5197-2 is the 3 ampere version. Both are 110/120V, 2 pole 3 wire splashproof inlets with the same chemical-resistant thermoplastic housing and nickel-plated brass pins, so you pick by the current draw of the equipment you are feeding.
2) Is the Pass & Seymour 5197 an inlet or a receptacle? Which one do I need?
It is an inlet, meaning it is the pin-carrying device mounted on the equipment or enclosure that accepts a connector on the end of a cord. If you need the device that cord-mounts and plugs into a wall outlet, or the panel-mounted receptacle that accepts a plug, the 5197 is not it. Specify the mating connector separately; it is not supplied with the inlet.
3) Can the 5197 splashproof inlet be used outdoors or in wet areas?
Yes, it is built as a watertight, splashproof inlet for wet and damp working environments, indoors or out. The housing is chemical-resistant thermoplastic and the solid-brass pins are nickel plated and shrouded for corrosion protection, which is why it gets used on outdoor power connections, job site temporary power, and splash-prone marine locations.
4) Will the Pass & Seymour 5197 work on 208V or 480V three phase equipment?
No. The 5197 is rated 110/120V only and is a 2 pole 3 wire device, so it is a single phase, two current-carrying conductor plus ground inlet. For higher voltage or three phase loads you need a different pin and sleeve configuration, such as a 3 pole 4 wire or 4 pole 5 wire device at the matching voltage rating.
5) Is the Pass & Seymour 5197 inlet IEC international style or North American pin and sleeve?
It is the international splashproof style in the P&S Watertight Pin & Sleeve line, and it is made in France. International pin and sleeve devices only mate with devices of the same international configuration, amperage and voltage band, so a 16A international connector will not couple to a North American pin and sleeve device. Match the mating cord connector to the same international 110/120V family and the same amperage as the inlet you order.
6) Does the 5197 pin and sleeve inlet qualify for government and institutional purchasing?
It is Trade Agreement Act compliant, which is what federal and many institutional buyers need to see for country-of-origin eligibility. Country of origin is France.
7) Can I standardize on one inlet design across equipment with different current draws?
Yes, that is the practical reason to buy the 5197 family. The 3 ampere and 16 ampere versions share the same thermoplastic body, nickel-plated solid-brass pins, 110/120V rating and 2 pole 3 wire wiring, so maintenance crews see one installation method and one spare-parts style across both. Keep in mind the mating connectors still have to match each device's amperage.
8) How does the cord grip on the Pass & Seymour 5197 work during installation?
It uses P&S's hinged cord grip, so the clamp stays attached to the device instead of coming apart into separate pieces you can drop or lose in a panel or on a lift. The inlet ships ready to wire, so terminating the three conductors and closing the grip is the whole job.
