Pass & Seymour PlugTail Switch Right Angle Connector, 3-Wire

The Pass & Seymour PlugTail Switch Right Angle Connector is a 3-Wire connector engineered for fast, tool-free termination of PlugTail switch systems used in commercial and residential wiring device installations. Its ultrasonically welded, yellow Thermoplastic (polycarbonate) housing is cULus Listed and finger-safe, and the connector is available in wire lengths up to 25 inches to suit a range of box depths and installation configurations. Large crimped and welded brass contacts, paired with pre-stripped connector leads, make PlugTail wiring faster and more consistent to install than standard pigtail connections, while an audible snapping latch confirms the connector is fully seated.

Key Features

  • Right Angle Connector Configuration: 3-Wire design built specifically for PlugTail switch wiring systems, allowing switches to be pre-wired off-site and connected in the field.
  • Durable Construction: Ultrasonically welded polycarbonate (Thermoplastic) connector housing secures terminations and conductors in a UL Listed, finger-safe housing that resists accidental contact with live parts.
  • Audible Snapping Latch: A positive, audible latch confirms a secure connection has been made, while still allowing the connector to be released for rework or troubleshooting.
  • Large Crimped and Welded Brass Contacts: Provide a solid, low-resistance electrical connection between the connector and the switch device.
  • Pre-Stripped Connector Leads: Conductors are pre-stripped and fasten to the connector more easily and consistently than standard pigtail-style connections, reducing installation time.
  • Wire Length Options: PlugTail connectors of this type are available in wire lengths up to 25 inches to fit varying box and enclosure depths.
  • Housing Color: Yellow housing for easy visual identification of the connector type in the field.

Pass & Seymour PTS6-STR3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the PlugTail PTS6-STR3 and PTS6-STR4 right-angle switch connectors?
Wire count is the only choice to make. PTS6-STR3 is the 3-wire version (hot, neutral/traveler set for a standard single-pole PlugTail switch arrangement), and PTS6-STR4 is the 4-wire version for switch devices needing a fourth conductor such as three-way or a separate ground/traveler. Both are the right-angle body in the same yellow polycarbonate housing. Order by the number of conductors the switch device and the circuit require.
2) Will a Pass & Seymour PlugTail connector work with any switch, or only PlugTail devices?
Only PlugTail devices. The PTS6-STR right-angle connector plugs into the molded tail port on a Pass & Seymour PlugTail switch; there are no screw terminals or push-ins on a standard switch for it to mate with. If the devices on the job are conventional switches, this connector has nothing to plug into and you want standard pigtail splices instead.
3) Is the PlugTail switch connector UL Listed for commercial work?
It carries a cULus Listing, which covers both US and Canadian installations. The polycarbonate housing is ultrasonically welded and finger-safe, so the terminations and conductors are enclosed against accidental contact with live parts. For institutional and commercial specs that call for a Listed wiring device accessory, the cULus mark is the one to reference.
4) Can a Leviton ML2-C midget connector be used in place of a Pass & Seymour PlugTail switch right-angle connector?
No. The Pass & Seymour PlugTail PTS6-STR3 and PTS6-STR4 right-angle connectors are device-specific: they plug into the matching PlugTail switch body through an audible snapping latch, with pre-stripped leads and large crimped and welded brass contacts in a yellow polycarbonate housing. The Leviton ML2-C is a midget connector for general electrical wiring, sold in packs of 100, and has no PlugTail interface, so it cannot terminate a PlugTail switch. Use the ML2 type only for general wire-to-wire work where no device plug is involved.
5) Why choose the right-angle PlugTail connector over a straight-body one?
The right-angle body turns the conductors sideways as they leave the connector, so the wire bundle lies against the side of the box instead of pushing straight back. That matters in shallow boxes and in crowded multi-gang boxes where a straight connector forces the device out of the plaster line. If box depth is not a problem, the straight version is fine; where you are fighting fill and depth, the right angle is what keeps the switch seating flat.
6) Do I need tools to terminate a PlugTail switch connector?
No tools for the device end. The leads come pre-stripped and the connector snaps onto the PlugTail switch with an audible latch that tells you it is fully seated. You still make up the branch circuit conductors to the connector leads the usual way in the box. The latch releases, so a device can be pulled for troubleshooting or swapped without re-splicing.
7) Can I pre-wire boxes before the switches are installed with PlugTail?
That is the point of the system. The connector is made up to the branch circuit conductors in the box during rough-in, and the switch is plugged in later at trim-out, or pre-wired off-site and connected in the field. On large commercial and multi-family jobs it lets you close up boxes and keep expensive devices out of the building until finish.
8) Is a Leviton midget connector or a Burndy splice an alternative to a PlugTail switch connector?
No, those solve a different problem. The Leviton ML2-C is a midget wiring connector and the Burndy KVS34 is a 2-bolt copper run and tap splice for conductor-to-conductor connections. Neither plugs into a wiring device. The PlugTail PTS6-STR exists to mate with a Pass & Seymour PlugTail switch, so there is no cross-brand substitute for it.
9) We need a tap splice on a feeder, not a switch connector - is the PlugTail right-angle connector the wrong part?
Yes, that is a different family of product. The Pass & Seymour PlugTail right-angle connector is a cULus Listed, finger-safe plug-in lead assembly for PlugTail switch devices in commercial and residential wiring device installations. For a run-and-tap copper splice, the Burndy KVS34 is a 2-bolt copper connector built as a run and tap splice. Specify the KVS34 type for conductor splicing and keep the PlugTail connector for switch terminations.
10) Is the PlugTail switch connector rated for medium-voltage work?
No. The Pass & Seymour PlugTail right-angle connector is a cULus Listed line-voltage wiring device accessory in a thermoplastic polycarbonate housing, intended for switch terminations in commercial and residential installations. For medium-voltage conductor work the 3M SC0001 stem connector is rated up to 35 kV on 2 and 1 AWG. The two serve entirely separate parts of an electrical system and are not interchangeable.
11) How many PlugTail right-angle switch connectors come in a box?
They ship 25 each per package, which is how PlugTail accessories are bought on production work where every switch opening needs one. Count one connector per PlugTail switch when you are figuring quantities for a floor.
12) Why is the PlugTail switch connector yellow?
The yellow housing is a field identifier. Pass & Seymour color-codes the PlugTail connector families so an electrician reaching into a box can tell a switch connector from a receptacle or GFCI connector at a glance, which cuts mis-plugged devices during trim. The body material is thermoplastic polycarbonate.
13) Where are Pass & Seymour PlugTail connectors made?
Country of origin is Mexico. That is the detail procurement groups with domestic-content or origin-reporting requirements usually need for the submittal package.
