Pass & Seymour IG5362 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What makes the Pass & Seymour 5362 an isolated ground receptacle, and when do I actually need one?
On the IG5362, a plastic barrier isolates the grounding terminal from the mounting strap, so the equipment ground does not bond to a metal box or the raceway. That gives sensitive electronics a separate ground path back to the panel, which is why it is specified for data rooms, lab instruments, A/V production, telecom rooms and industrial controls. If your load has no ground-noise concerns, a standard heavy-duty 20A receptacle like the Bryant 5362B does the same power job without the extra isolated ground conductor you have to pull for an IG device.
2) Is the 5362 isolated ground receptacle rated 20 amps, and will it accept a 20A T-blade plug?
It is rated 20A at 125V, so it belongs on a 20A branch circuit and will take both standard 5-15 plugs and the 20A T-slot plug found on rack gear and larger lab equipment. Full-rated current produces a maximum 30 degree C temperature rise.
3) Is this isolated ground receptacle UL listed for a hospital project?
The 5362 is cULus Listed, which covers both US and Canadian installations. It is a heavy-duty spec-grade isolated ground device, not a hospital grade device. If your spec calls for hospital grade (the green dot), use a hospital grade receptacle such as the Leviton 16262-HGW instead; isolated ground and hospital grade are separate requirements and some drawings call for both.
4) Do I still get a reliable ground on the strap with the IG5362, or does the isolation break box grounding?
An auto-ground clip on the strap maintains a positive ground connection to the mounting yoke, while the plastic barrier keeps the receptacle's grounding terminal separate from that strap. In other words the box and strap are still grounded through the metal raceway, and the green IG terminal runs its own insulated conductor back to the ground bus. You must pull that separate insulated equipment ground for the isolation to mean anything.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Pass & Seymour IG5362 isolated ground receptacle?
The Bryant 5362B is the nearest match by rating and build: it is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle, the same amperage and voltage class as the Pass & Seymour IG5362, which is rated 20A at 125V. The difference that matters is the ground path. The IG5362 is an isolated ground duplex with a plastic barrier separating the grounding terminal from the mounting strap and metal box, and it carries the orange face that identifies it as such. The Bryant 5362B is a standard heavy-duty duplex, so if the drawing calls for an isolated ground run back to the panel, the Bryant will not satisfy it.
6) Is a hospital grade receptacle the same thing as the orange isolated ground IG5362?
No, and they are commonly confused because both show up in healthcare specs. The Leviton 16262-HGW is a hospital grade duplex receptacle, which speaks to contact retention and assembly integrity for patient care areas. The Pass & Seymour IG5362 is an isolated ground device, which speaks to the grounding path: a plastic barrier separates the ground terminal from the strap so the equipment ground returns separately to the panel. A drawing that calls for both will specify both; substituting one for the other leaves half the requirement unmet.
7) Why is the 5362 isolated ground receptacle orange?
Orange is the industry color code for isolated ground. The 5362 has an orange high-impact nylon face in a matte finish, so an electrician or facility tech can identify the IG circuit at a glance and avoid plugging a critical load into a normal-ground outlet. If you need white or gray on the same opening, you are looking at a standard receptacle, not this device.
8) Can I wire the Pass & Seymour IG5362 from the back instead of wrapping the screws?
Both. The IG5362 takes back and side wire terminations, and the ground terminal uses an external screw-pressure-plate back wire clamp, so you can land a straight conductor under the plate rather than forming a loop. Useful in a crowded 4-square box where you are also managing a separate isolated ground conductor.
9) Will the Pass & Seymour IG5362 hold up in an unheated or outdoor-adjacent location?
Rated for continuous operation from -40 C to +60 C, with a corrosion-resistant plated steel mounting strap and a high-impact nylon face that resists impacts and scrapes. That covers unconditioned mechanical rooms, parking structures and cold-storage anterooms, provided the device is in a suitable enclosure and cover.
10) What is the difference between the Pass & Seymour 5362 and a commercial grade 20A receptacle like the Leviton 16352?
Two differences that matter. The Pass & Seymour IG5362 is isolated ground, so its grounding terminal is barriered off from the strap for a dedicated ground path; the Leviton 16352-1PW is a commercial grade heavy-duty 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R straight blade duplex with a conventional bonded ground. Use the IG device only where the drawings call for an isolated ground circuit; for general 20A commercial receptacles the commercial grade part is the normal choice and does not require the extra insulated ground conductor.
11) I need more than two isolated ground outlets at one location - what should I look at instead of the IG5362?
The Bryant 21254IGO is a quad straight-blade receptacle, NEMA 5-20R, 20A, which gives four 20A openings at a single location instead of the two on the Pass & Seymour IG5362 duplex. Both are 20A straight-blade devices. Confirm box volume and plate opening before ordering, since a quad needs a two-gang opening while the IG5362 fits a standard single-gang duplex opening.
12) Will the IG5362 work in a hazardous or wet location, or do I need a different device?
The Pass & Seymour IG5362 is a general-purpose cULus Listed 20A 125V isolated ground duplex with a nylon face, intended for standard commercial and industrial interior boxes. For classified hazardous areas, the Appleton FSQC Series interlocked explosionproof receptacle and the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set are built for that duty instead. Those are different device families with their own enclosure and plug requirements, not drop-in replacements for a standard duplex opening.
13) Can I use a 15A commercial receptacle in place of the Pass & Seymour IG5362?
Not where the branch circuit and the spec call for a 20A device. The Pass & Seymour IG5362 is rated 20A at 125V. The Eaton 5262W is a heavy-duty industrial duplex at 15A 125V with a 5-15R face, and the Eaton 816W-BOX is a commercial specification grade single receptacle at 15A. Both are 15A devices and will not accept a 20A NEMA 5-20P cord cap, and neither provides the isolated ground path the IG5362 is built around.
14) We standardize on Decora style device plates - is there a 20A alternative to the IG5362 that matches?
The Leviton 16342 Decora Plus commercial grade duplex receptacle is 20A 125V NEMA 5-20R and takes a Decora style plate, while the Pass & Seymour IG5362 is a traditional duplex face that takes a standard duplex plate. The ratings line up at 20A 125V, but the IG5362 is the isolated ground device with the orange identification color; the Leviton 16342 is a standard-ground commercial grade part in white.
15) What size wall opening does the 5362 need?
The device body measures 2.635 in height, 1.322 in width and 0.922 in depth, so it is a standard duplex-size strap that mounts in a normal single-gang or multi-gang box with a standard duplex wall plate. No oversized plate or special box needed.
16) What exact part number do I order for the Pass & Seymour orange isolated ground 20A duplex?
Order Pass & Seymour IG5362, the 5362 series heavy-duty isolated ground duplex in orange, 20A 125V. It ships as a single configuration, so there are no finish or color choices to specify.
17) What is the difference between the IG5362 and a locking or motor-duty receptacle for equipment feeds?
The Pass & Seymour IG5362 is a straight-blade 20A 125V duplex with an isolated ground, so cord caps plug and unplug freely. The Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A at 600V/250V AC/DC, and the Bryant 430R9W is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle. Those are higher-voltage, twist-or-latch style connections for fixed equipment, not interchangeable with a 125V duplex opening or its plate.
18) Is a commercial grade impact-resistant receptacle tough enough to replace the IG5362 in a plant?
The Leviton 16251W is a commercial grade heavy-duty impact-resistant straight blade receptacle, and the Pass & Seymour IG5362 is a heavy-duty spec-grade device with a high-impact nylon face and a corrosion-resistant plated steel strap rated for continuous operation from -40C to +60C. Both are built for abuse. The deciding factor is not toughness but the ground: only the IG5362 carries the isolated grounding terminal separated from the strap, so on an IG-designated circuit the Leviton is not a substitute.
19) I only need one outlet at the device box - is there a single receptacle alternative to the IG5362 duplex?
The Eaton 6450W is a heavy-duty industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle accepting #14-10 AWG conductors, which gives one outlet in place of the two on the Pass & Seymour IG5362 duplex. Note that the Eaton is a decorator-style single with a standard ground, while the IG5362 is the orange isolated ground duplex with back and side wire terminations.
