Pass & Seymour CRB5362 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes will the Pass & Seymour CRB5362 receptacle accept, and can I pigtail stranded copper into it?
The CRB5362 takes #10 through #14 AWG solid or stranded copper. Its 8-hole internal screw-pressure-plate terminals are back and side wire, so you can push conductors straight back into the pressure plates or wrap under the side screws. Stranded is fine on the pressure plates, which is what makes it workable on a feed-through where you are landing two conductors per terminal.
2) Is a 20A 125V duplex receptacle like the CRB5362 right for a 20-amp commercial branch circuit?
Yes. Rated 20A at 125V, so it matches a 20-amp, 120V branch circuit on #12 copper. A 15-amp device cannot be used as the only receptacle on a 20-amp individual branch circuit, which is why spec-grade 20A duplexes are the default in commercial offices, retail, and multi-unit work.
3) Can I use the Pass & Seymour CRB5362 in patient care areas of a hospital?
The CRB5362 is a commercial spec-grade device with a cULus listing and Federal Spec compliance, and it is commonly specified in healthcare facilities generally. Where the drawing calls specifically for hospital grade, the Leviton 16262-HGW is the hospital grade duplex receptacle in that set, supplied in white and packaged 100 per box. Hospital grade is a separate qualification from commercial spec grade, so match whichever the specification names.
4) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Pass & Seymour CRB5362 20A 125V duplex receptacle?
The Bryant 5362B is the nearest match by rating: it is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle, the same 20A amperage and 125V voltage the CRB5362 carries. Bryant also lists the 5362BI, a 20A/125V heavy-duty duplex. The CRB5362 is brown with a matte finish and a nylon face; confirm color separately on the Bryant devices if you are matching existing devices in the space.
5) I need a white 20A 125V commercial duplex receptacle instead of brown - what are my options?
Leviton covers that in two forms. The 16352-1PW is a commercial grade heavy-duty straight blade duplex receptacle, 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R. The 16342 is a Decora Plus commercial grade duplex, also 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R in white, if you want the decorator opening rather than a standard duplex face. Both hold the same 20A 125V rating as the Pass & Seymour CRB5362, which is supplied in brown with a matte finish.
6) Is the Pass & Seymour CRB5362 suitable for a hazardous or explosionproof location?
No - the CRB5362 is a commercial spec-grade duplex receptacle with a nylon face and thermoplastic back body for general commercial interiors, not a hazardous-location device. For those areas, Appleton offers the FSQC Series interlocked explosionproof receptacle and the U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set, 3-pole. Those are not drop-in substitutes for a standard wall box device.
7) Can I wire the CRB5362 as a split-circuit outlet with one half switched?
Yes. There is a break-off connecting tab on the line side, accessible without pulling the device apart. Snap it off and the two halves are independent, so you can switch the top half and leave the bottom hot, or feed each half from a separate circuit. Standard practice is to break the brass line tab only, leaving the neutral side bonded unless you are running two separate circuits.
8) Does the CRB5362 ground itself to a metal box, or do I still need a bonding jumper?
It has an auto-ground clip, so the mounting strap bonds to a grounded metal box through the mounting screw without a separate jumper. That only works with a properly grounded metal box; in a plastic box or on a nonmetallic enclosure you land the equipment grounding conductor on the green screw.
9) Will this receptacle hold up in an unheated warehouse or a loading dock area?
Temperature-tested for continuous operation from -40 C to +60 C, with a plated steel strap for corrosion resistance and an impact-resistant nylon face. That covers unconditioned interior spaces and light industrial work. It is not a wet-location or hazardous-location device, though. For classified areas you need an explosionproof unit like the Appleton FSQC Series interlocked receptacle.
10) Does the CRB5362 have a GFCI built in?
No. It is a standard duplex receptacle with no GFCI or AFCI protection built in. In locations requiring GFCI protection, protect the circuit upstream at the breaker or at a GFCI device feeding this one. Nothing in the device itself provides fault protection beyond the auto-ground clip bonding.
11) Is the CRB5362 an isolated ground receptacle?
No. The CRB5362 bonds the strap to the box through an auto-ground clip, which is the opposite of an isolated ground design. If your spec calls for an orange isolated-ground device for sensitive equipment, the Bryant 21254IGO is an isolated-ground straight-blade NEMA 5-20R unit, though it is a quad rather than a duplex.
12) What impact-resistant commercial receptacle alternatives exist if durability in a high-traffic corridor is the concern?
The Pass & Seymour CRB5362 uses an impact-resistant nylon face over a thermoplastic back body with triple-wipe brass contacts for that reason. On the comparable side, the Leviton 16251W is a commercial grade heavy-duty impact-resistant straight blade receptacle, and the Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty grade 20A/125V duplex. All three are built for commercial traffic; choose on color and face style to match the rest of the devices in the building.
13) What should I order if the circuit is 15A rather than 20A?
The Pass & Seymour CRB5362 is a 20A 125V device. For 15A 125V work, the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W is a heavy-duty industrial duplex receptacle rated 15A 125V with a 5-15R face in gray. If a single receptacle rather than a duplex suits the opening, the Eaton 816W-BOX is a commercial specification grade single receptacle at 15A.
14) I need more than two outlets at one box - is there a 20A alternative to the CRB5362?
Yes. The Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle, NEMA 5-20R, 20A, which puts four outlets in place of the two on the Pass & Seymour CRB5362 duplex at the same 20A rating. Verify box volume and plate requirements, since a quad device occupies a larger opening than a standard duplex.
15) The 5362 number looks familiar - does a higher-voltage or locking device cover the same job?
Not interchangeably. The Pass & Seymour CRB5362 is a 125V straight-blade duplex at 20A. The Bryant 430R9W is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle, and the Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A at 600V/250V AC/DC in black. Neither accepts a standard 125V straight-blade cord cap, so they serve different circuits entirely.
16) Do any comparable devices accept the same wire range as the Pass & Seymour CRB5362?
The CRB5362 uses 8-hole internal screw-pressure-plate back and side wire terminals accepting #10 through #14 AWG solid or stranded copper. The Eaton 6450W, a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle, is rated for #14-10 AWG conductors, so the same conductor sizes land in either device. The Eaton is a single decorator-style receptacle rather than a duplex.
17) Will a brown receptacle match the rest of my devices, or should I order a different color?
The CRB5362 is brown with a matte finish, which is the traditional color for older commercial and multi-family interiors with brown or almond trim. If your building is standardized on white or gray devices, it will stand out behind a white plate. For a white 20A commercial duplex instead, the Leviton 16352-1PW or the Decora Plus 16342 in white cover the same 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R duty.
18) Will a 15-amp plug work in this 20-amp receptacle?
Yes. A 20A 125V duplex of this type takes both standard parallel-blade 15A plugs and the 20A plug with the sideways neutral blade. The triple-wipe brass contacts grip the blades on either, so standard office and appliance cords plug in normally.
