Pass & Seymour 5276-BK – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Pass & Seymour 5276-BK plug be used as a replacement end on a 15 amp extension cord or stage cable?
That is one of its main uses. The 5276-BK is a field-wireable dead front plug rated 15A 125V, shipped ready-to-wire, with internal finger grips that clamp onto the cord jacket so the strain is taken off the terminations rather than the screws. Cut the damaged end off, strip, wire, and twist the dead front shell back together. It suits portable power cord sets, touring and temporary event power, and commercial or industrial cordage assemblies.
2) If a patient care room requires a hospital grade plug, what should be used instead of the 5276-BK?
Use a hospital grade device. The Bryant 8266T is a hospital grade plug in the NEMA 5-15P configuration, and the Leviton 8215-CAT is a tamper-resistant hospital grade plug in the same 5-15P configuration. The Pass & Seymour 5276-BK is a cULus Listed 15A 125V dead front plug intended for stage, entertainment, and portable power cord assemblies rather than patient care areas.
3) What is the closest equivalent to the Pass & Seymour 5276-BK 15A 125V plug from another brand?
The Eaton Arrow Hart AH5266 Ultra Grip straight blade plug is the nearest match, also rated 15A 125V in a straight blade configuration and built to industrial specification grade. The 5276-BK differs in that it uses an all-nylon black body with a dead front turn-and-twist assembly and internal finger grips that adjust to the cord jacket, which is why it is specified for stage and entertainment cord sets.
4) We need a 20A plug, not 15A. What are the options?
The Pass & Seymour 5276-BK is a 15A 125V device and will not serve a 20A cord set. For 20A, the Leviton 8315-CT is a tamper-resistant hospital grade plug in the NEMA 5-20P configuration, and the Bryant 8395T is an angle hospital grade plug, also 5-20P. Both carry hospital grade construction, so confirm that suits your application before standardizing on them.
5) What looks like a substitute for the 5276-BK but is not?
The Bryant 7516NC is a rubber bodied plug in the NM10-50P series - a different configuration entirely and not interchangeable with a 15A 125V straight blade cord cap. The Leviton 275-E is also easy to mistake for a match since it is a straight blade plug, but it is a 4-wire 3-pole commercial grade angle body. For a direct 15A 125V straight blade replacement, stay with the Pass & Seymour 5276-BK or the Eaton Arrow Hart AH5266.
6) Why is this plug all black instead of the usual yellow or orange?
The all-black nylon housing is specified for stage and entertainment work, where a low-profile, non-reflective plug is wanted so it disappears on a dark deck or in a lighting truss. Functionally it is the same 15A 125V dead front plug; the color is about sightlines, not rating.
7) Will a nylon plug body hold up to touring abuse, or should I use rubber?
Nylon is the right pick for most touring and industrial cord sets: the all-nylon body on the 5276-BK gives impact and chemical resistance, which is what kills plugs that get dropped, rolled over by cases, or exposed to solvents and fog fluid. If you specifically want a rubber-bodied plug, Bryant's 7516NC is a rubber electrical plug, though it is an NM10-50P series device and not a 15A 125V straight blade equivalent.
8) How is the 5276-BK plug assembled onto the cord, and do I need special tools?
It uses a dead front turn-and-twist assembly: the wiring terminations sit behind the face, and the body twists together over them, so installation is quick and needs minimal tooling beyond a screwdriver and strippers. The internal finger grips self-adjust to the cord jacket diameter, so there is no separate clamp to size.
9) The cord exits at a tight angle behind equipment. Is there an angle plug alternative to the 5276-BK?
Yes. The 5276-BK is a straight blade plug with a straight body, so where the cord must turn immediately, look at an angle body instead: the Leviton 275-E is a commercial grade 4-wire 3-pole straight blade angle plug, and the Bryant 8395T is an angle hospital grade plug in the NEMA 5-20P configuration. Note that the 275-E is a 4-wire 3-pole device and is not a drop-in for a 2-pole 3-wire 125V cord.
10) Is the Pass & Seymour 5276-BK suitable for wet or washdown locations?
The 5276-BK is an all-nylon dead front plug rated 15A 125V for stage, portable power, and industrial cordage assemblies, with no watertight claim. Where the connection is exposed to water, the Bryant 8666TSP is a watertight hospital grade plug in the N6-15P configuration; confirm that configuration matches your receptacle, since it is not a 125V straight blade match for the 5276-BK.
11) Is the Pass & Seymour 5276-BK sold individually or in a box?
Packaging is 10 each, so it comes as a 10-pack of the black 5276-BK plug. That works out well for crews re-terminating a batch of stage cables at once.
