  • Isolated Terminal Compartments: Terminal compartments are isolated from each other for positive conductor containment.
  • Auto-Ground Clip: Assures positive grounding on every installation.
  • Split-Circuit Wiring: Easily accessed break-off, line-contact connecting tab allows fast, easy split-circuit wiring.
  • Temperature Rise Rating: Maximum 30°C temperature rise at full-rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150% of rated current with direct current; operating temperature range of -40°C minimum to +60°C maximum continuous without impact.

Pass & Seymour 5651-W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes will the Pass & Seymour spec-grade single receptacle accept, and can I back-wire it?
It takes #14 to #10 AWG solid or stranded copper or copper-clad conductors. Terminations can be made either at the side screws or through the internal screw-pressure-plate back wire terminals, so you can run it in a crowded box with the conductors landing straight back instead of looping around screws. The pressure-plate design is a clamp, not a push-in stab, so stranded wire is fine.
2) Can I use this receptacle in a hazardous or explosionproof location?
No. This is a standard spec-grade wiring device for ordinary commercial and industrial locations. For classified areas you need a factory-sealed or explosionproof device such as the Appleton FSQC Series interlocked explosionproof receptacle or the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set.
3) Can I use the Pass & Seymour spec-grade single receptacle in a patient care area?
For patient care spaces where hospital grade is required, use a device listed to that grade, such as the Leviton 16262-HGW hospital grade duplex receptacle in white. The Pass & Seymour heavy-duty device is cUL Listed and built for commercial and industrial wiring, but hospital grade is a separate designation your inspector will look for on the green dot.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Pass & Seymour spec-grade single receptacle from another brand?
The Eaton Heavy-Duty Industrial Specification Grade Decorator Single Receptacle is the nearest match: it is also a single (not duplex) receptacle and also accepts #14-10 AWG conductors, the same wire range the Pass & Seymour back wire terminals take. The Pass & Seymour device uses back and side wire terminals, so if your crew terminates on the side screws, confirm the Eaton's termination method suits the box.
5) I need a duplex outlet, not a single. What should I order instead?
The Pass & Seymour heavy-duty spec-grade device is a single receptacle, so for two outlets in one yoke look at the Bryant 5362B heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle, the Bryant 5362BI in the same heavy-duty grade, or the Leviton 16352-1PW commercial grade heavy-duty straight blade duplex in 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R. All three put two devices in the same single-gang opening.
6) My equipment has a locking or twist plug. Is this the right receptacle?
No. The Pass & Seymour heavy-duty spec-grade single receptacle is a straight-blade device for standard plugs. For twist-lock cord caps, the Eaton 7379 industrial locking receptacle is rated 50A, 600V/250V AC/DC in extra heavy duty grade. For hazardous locations the Appleton FSQC series interlocked explosionproof receptacle and the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set are the explosionproof options, and neither interchanges with a standard wall device.
7) Can I use this single receptacle for split-circuit wiring off two breakers?
Yes. There is a break-off line-contact connecting tab on the terminal side; snap it and the two line terminals are independent, which is what you need to feed from two circuits or put one half on a switch. The terminal compartments are also isolated from one another, so conductors stay contained once broken out.
8) Will this receptacle ground properly in a metal box without a bonding jumper?
It has an auto-ground clip on the mounting strap, which bonds the device to a properly grounded metal box through the mounting screw. The strap itself is corrosion-resistant plated steel locked into both the nylon face and the thermoplastic back body so it will not pull away from the assembly. Standard practice still calls for running the equipment grounding conductor to the green terminal where one is present.
9) Is a single receptacle the right choice, or should I be using a duplex here?
A single receptacle gives one outlet on the strap, which is what you want when a piece of equipment must have the circuit to itself, or where a duplex would invite a second load on a dedicated branch circuit. If you want two outlets on the same yoke, go to a duplex instead, such as the Bryant 5362B heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex or the Leviton 16352-1PW commercial grade 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R duplex.
10) Will the contacts hold up to plugs being pulled in and out all day in a shop?
The power contacts are .032 inch thick brass, triple-wipe, which is the construction spec-grade devices use for plug retention over repeated insertions. Face is impact-resistant nylon over a thermoplastic back body, so it tolerates knocks in a shop or plant environment rather than cracking like a residential device.
11) Can this receptacle be installed in an unheated warehouse or a cooler?
Operating range runs from -40 C minimum to +60 C maximum continuous without impact, which covers unheated storage and refrigerated spaces. It also holds to a maximum 30 C temperature rise at full rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150 percent of rated current with direct current.
12) Is this Pass & Seymour receptacle approved for use in Canada?
It is cUL Listed, so it carries the Canadian certification mark alongside its use in US commercial and industrial work. Country of origin is Mexico.
13) How does this compare to an Eaton single receptacle if I am standardizing a facility?
Both are single-outlet devices built for spec work. The Eaton 6450W is an industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle taking the same #14-10 AWG range, so it fits a decorator-style wall plate rather than a standard one. The Eaton 816W-BOX is a commercial specification grade single at 15A. The Pass & Seymour here is a heavy-duty spec-grade single with brass triple-wipe contacts and back and side wiring, offered in six colors for matching existing devices across a building.
14) Is there a lighter-duty alternative if I do not need full spec-grade construction?
Yes. The Eaton 816W commercial specification grade single receptacle is a 15A single device in commercial spec grade, and the Leviton 16251W is a commercial grade heavy-duty impact-resistant straight blade receptacle. Both sit a step below the Pass & Seymour heavy-duty spec-grade build, which uses .032 inch brass triple-wipe contacts and a plated steel strap locked into the face and back body.
15) What should I use if I need more than two outlets at one location or a 277V motor circuit?
For four outlets on one yoke, the Bryant 21254IGO quad straight-blade receptacle is NEMA 5-20R, 20A. For a 277V motor circuit, the Bryant 430R9W is a 4750DR series 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle. The Pass & Seymour heavy-duty device is a single receptacle with a break-off connecting tab for split-circuit wiring, which covers two circuits but not a quad or a 277V load.
16) I need a gray 15A industrial receptacle to match existing devices. How does the Eaton Arrow Hart compare?
The Eaton Arrow Hart heavy-duty industrial duplex receptacle is 15A 125V, 5-15R, in gray and industrial specification grade. The Pass & Seymour heavy-duty spec-grade single receptacle is also offered in gray as well as ivory, light almond, white and brown, so you can match a device run in either direction; the difference is single versus duplex configuration.
17) Is there a decorator-style alternative if the finished space needs a rectangular opening?
Yes. The Leviton 16342 Decora Plus commercial grade duplex receptacle is 20-Amp 125-Volt NEMA 5-20R in white, and the Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle taking #14-10 AWG. Both use a decorator opening, while the Pass & Seymour heavy-duty spec-grade single receptacle has a matte nylon face for a standard single-receptacle plate.
18) What colors does the Pass & Seymour heavy-duty single receptacle come in?
Six color choices: brown (5361), ivory (5261I), light almond (5351-LA), gray (5361-GRY), white (5651-W), and the standard 5361-I. All carry the same matte face finish, so mixed-color openings in one building still look consistent in sheen.
19) How many receptacles come in a box?
Packaging is 10 each, so quantities work out in tens when you are pricing out a floor or a tenant fit-up.
