Pass & Seymour 5850-W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire size can I land on the Pass & Seymour 5850-W receptacle?
It takes #14 through #10 AWG, solid or stranded, copper or copper-clad. Terminations are side-wire screws, and each terminal compartment is isolated from the next so a strand pushed out of place can't bridge to the neighboring conductor.
2) What is the closest equivalent to the Pass & Seymour 5850-W if I need a 125V circuit instead of 250V?
The Pass & Seymour 5850-W is rated 20A 250V, so it is not usable on a 125V general-purpose circuit. For 20A at 125V, the Leviton 16352-1PW is a commercial grade heavy-duty straight blade duplex receptacle rated 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R, and the Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle. Both are duplex devices rather than a single outlet, so if you need one receptacle per strap you will want a single-outlet device instead.
3) Can I use the Pass & Seymour 5850-W in a hazardous or explosionproof location?
No. The 5850-W is a standard flush-mount commercial spec-grade receptacle with a nylon face and thermoplastic back body, intended for ordinary commercial and industrial locations. For classified areas, the Appleton FSQC Series interlocked explosionproof receptacle is the device built for that duty, and the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set covers 3-pole factory-sealed applications.
4) I need a single receptacle, not a duplex - what are my options besides the Pass & Seymour 5850-W?
The Pass & Seymour 5850-W is a single receptacle rated 20A 250V with side-wire terminals. If you need a single-outlet device at a different rating, the Eaton 816W is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A, and the Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle that accepts #14-10 AWG conductors, the same wire range the 5850-W takes.
5) Is the Pass & Seymour 5850-W acceptable for patient care areas in a hospital?
The 5850-W is a commercial spec-grade device and is cULus Listed, but hospital-grade devices are a separate category with their own listing requirements. Where a hospital-grade receptacle is called for, the Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital grade duplex receptacle in white. Use the 5850-W for commercial and industrial installations rather than patient care spaces.
6) What should I use instead of the Pass & Seymour 5850-W for a 277V motor circuit?
The 5850-W tops out at a 250V rating, so a 277V load needs a different device. The Bryant 430R9W is a 4750DR series 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle built for that voltage. Keep the 5850-W on 250V branch circuits.
7) Is this a duplex or a single outlet?
Single. The 5850-W has one 250V outlet on the face, which is typical for a dedicated 240V load like a piece of shop equipment or an appliance circuit. If you need two outlets on the strap, you want a duplex device instead.
8) Can I split-circuit this receptacle?
Yes. There is a break-off line-contact connecting tab on the device, so snapping the tab lets you feed the outlet from a split circuit without any extra parts.
9) Does the 5850-W ground through the metal box or do I need a separate jumper?
An auto-ground clip on the strap bonds the device to a grounded metal box through the mounting screw, so grounding is positive on every install. The strap itself is plated steel, corrosion resistant, and locked into both the face and the back body so it won't pull away from the assembly.
10) I need a hospital grade or isolated ground outlet instead of this one. What should I look at?
The 5850-W is a commercial spec-grade device, not hospital grade and not isolated ground. For a patient-care area, the Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital grade duplex; for an isolated ground run, the Bryant 21254IGO is a NEMA 5-20R quad straight-blade device. Both are 125V-class devices, so they are not drop-ins for a 250V circuit.
11) If I need a locking receptacle rather than the straight-blade Pass & Seymour 5850-W, what covers 250V?
The 5850-W is a straight-blade single receptacle rated 20A 250V and will not retain a twist-lock plug. For a locking connection, the Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A at 600V/250V AC/DC in black. That is a higher amperage device, so confirm your breaker and conductor sizing before specifying it in place of a 20A outlet.
12) I have one 250V circuit but need more than one outlet position - what are the alternatives to the Pass & Seymour 5850-W?
The 5850-W gives one outlet per strap, though it does include a break-off line-contact tab for split-circuit wiring. If you need more outlet positions on a 125V circuit, the Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle, NEMA 5-20R, 20A, which puts four positions in a two-gang opening. Keep in mind that is a 125V configuration, not a 250V replacement for the 5850-W.
13) How does the Pass & Seymour 5850-W compare to industrial-grade receptacles from Eaton?
The 5850-W is a commercial spec-grade device with an impact-resistant nylon face, plated steel strap locked into the assembly, and an auto-ground clip, rated 20A 250V. Eaton's industrial tier includes the 5262W Arrow Hart heavy-duty industrial duplex rated 15A 125V in NEMA 5-15R gray, and the 6450W industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle. Those are 125V devices in the industrial grade category, so the comparison is about grade tier and voltage configuration rather than a direct swap.
14) For a high-traffic commercial space, how does the Pass & Seymour 5850-W stack up against Leviton commercial grade receptacles?
The 5850-W uses an impact-resistant nylon face with a thermoplastic back body and a corrosion-resistant plated steel strap locked into the face and back body. Leviton's 16251W is a commercial grade heavy-duty impact-resistant straight blade receptacle, and the 16352-1PW is a commercial grade heavy-duty straight blade duplex rated 20A 125V. All three sit in the commercial grade tier with impact-resistant bodies; the deciding factor is the voltage and outlet configuration your opening needs.
15) How tough is the face on the Pass & Seymour 5850-W for an industrial space?
The face is impact-resistant nylon with a thermoplastic back body, finished matte white. That is the spec-grade build for areas where carts, tools, and plugs knock around, as opposed to a residential-grade thermoset face.
16) How does the Pass & Seymour 5850-W ship, singly or in a box?
It is packaged 10 each, which is how a contractor wiring a run of 240V equipment drops would normally buy it. The orderable model is 5850-W in white.
17) Is there a decorator-style alternative if the Pass & Seymour 5850-W face does not match the other devices on the wall?
The 5850-W has a white matte nylon face in a standard receptacle opening. If the rest of the devices use a decorator or screwless-style plate, the Leviton 16342 Decora Plus commercial grade duplex receptacle is rated 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R in white, and the Eaton 6450W is an industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle. Both are 125V devices, so match the circuit voltage before standardizing on them.
