Pass & Seymour EHU GCM Plug, 15A 125V, Black and White

The Pass & Seymour EHU GCM Plug is a 3-wire, 15A 125V straight blade plug built with Ground Continuity Monitoring (GCM) technology for continuous safety feedback on portable cord sets and industrial power connections. Its dual, bright LED indicators offer 360-degree visibility, while industrial-strength brass alloy blades and connector contacts deliver dependable conductivity. This EHU GCM plug is cULus Listed and finished in black and white for clear field identification.

Key Features

  • Electrical Rating: 15A, 125V, 3-wire straight blade configuration for standard portable power applications.
  • Ground Continuity Monitoring: Dual LED indicators with 360-degree visibility — green LEDs confirm proper ground continuity and power status, red LEDs signal ground continuity loss or reversed polarity, and no LED indicates an open hot, open neutral, or hot-to-ground cross.
  • Durable Construction: Industrial-strength brass alloy plug blades and connector contacts resist heat rise and maintain excellent conductivity.
  • Internal Dust Shield: Keeps terminals free of contaminants for a more reliable connection over time.
  • Fast, Safe Wiring: Color-coded terminal screws are positioned on the same plane and backed out for quick installation, and the recessed cord-grip screw reduces screwdriver slippage.
  • Cord Retention: Exclusive two-piece cord grip accepts a wide range of cord widths and provides consistent pressure for superior conductor retention.
  • Housing: Chemical- and impact-resistant nylon housing with horizontal, easy-grip ribs on the back body; quick-thread tri-drive assembly and cord-grip screws come backed out, ready to wire.
  • Finish: Black and White color combination for easy identification in the field.

Pass & Seymour PS5266-XGCM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the PS5266X spec-grade, GCM, and hospital grade versions?
Three grades of the Pass & Seymour PS5266X extra-hard use plug are offered: spec-grade (PS5266-X), GCM (PS5266-XGCM), and hospital grade (PS5266-XHG). All are 15A 125V 3-wire straight blade plugs. The GCM version adds Ground Continuity Monitoring with dual LED indicators that give 360-degree visibility, so an operator can see ground status at a glance on a cord set. Pick the hospital grade version when the application calls for a hospital grade cord cap; pick spec-grade when you just need a durable industrial replacement plug with no indication.
2) What do the green, red, and dark LEDs mean on the GCM plug?
On the PS5266-XGCM, green LEDs confirm proper ground continuity and that power is present. Red LEDs mean ground continuity has been lost or polarity is reversed. No LED at all means an open hot, an open neutral, or a hot-to-ground cross. That is the whole point of the GCM version on a jobsite cord set: the cord tells you it is still safe before someone plugs a tool into it.
3) Will this plug work on a 20 amp circuit or a 250 volt tool?
No. The PS5266X is rated 15A at 125V, 3-wire, so it is for standard 125V single-phase portable power only. It can be used on a 20A branch circuit the way any 15A cord cap is, but it is not a 20A device and it must not be fitted to equipment drawing more than 15A. For 250V service, a 2-pole 3-wire 250V plug such as the Leviton 5666-C industrial grade straight blade plug is the right family instead.
4) If a hospital-grade 5-15P plug is required, what alternatives exist besides the PS5266XHG?
The PS5266-XHG is the hospital grade version of the Pass & Seymour extra-hard use plug. Comparable hospital-grade options include the Bryant 8266T, a hospital grade NEMA 5-15P plug, and the Leviton 8215-CAT, a tamper-resistant hospital-grade NEMA 5-15P plug supplied in packs of 100. The Leviton adds tamper resistance and comes only as a 100-piece pack, so for a single replacement the Bryant or the Pass & Seymour hospital grade unit is the simpler buy.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Pass & Seymour PS5266X 15A 125V straight blade plug from another manufacturer?
The Eaton Arrow Hart Ultra Grip straight blade plug is the closest match: it is also rated 15A 125V and is an industrial specification grade device, the same rating the PS5266X carries at 15A, 125V. Both are cord-mounted straight blade plugs for portable cord sets. The Pass & Seymour part adds a nylon housing and, in the GCM version, dual LED ground continuity monitoring, which the Eaton plug is not described as having.
6) Can I use this plug on a thick SOW jobsite extension cord?
Yes, within reason. The PS5266X uses a two-piece cord grip that accepts a wide range of cord widths and applies consistent pressure for conductor retention, which is what lets one cord cap serve several cord sizes in a shop. The cord-grip screw is recessed to cut screwdriver slippage and ships backed out, so the plug is ready to wire out of the box. Match the plug to the actual OD of your cord before you build the set.
7) Is this plug tough enough for outdoor temporary power and daily abuse?
It is an extra-hard use plug built for that. The housing is chemical- and impact-resistant nylon with horizontal easy-grip ribs on the back body for handling with gloves, the blades and connector contacts are industrial-strength brass alloy to resist heat rise, and an internal dust shield keeps the terminals clear of contaminants. Typical use is construction temporary power, portable cord sets, and facilities maintenance work.
8) What should be used instead of the PS5266X for a wet or washdown location?
The PS5266X has a chemical- and impact-resistant nylon housing with an internal dust shield, but for a wet location the Bryant 8666TSP is a watertight hospital-grade plug in the N6-15P configuration. Note that the 6-15P pattern is a different blade configuration from a 125V 5-15P cord cap, so confirm the receptacle before substituting.
9) When is the GCM version worth specifying over a standard industrial-grade plug like the Eaton Arrow Hart Ultra Grip?
Choose the PS5266-XGCM when crews need visual confirmation of ground integrity at the plug: its dual LEDs give 360-degree indication, green for proper ground continuity and power, red for ground continuity loss or reversed polarity, and no LED for an open hot, open neutral, or hot-to-ground cross. The Eaton Arrow Hart Ultra Grip is an industrial specification grade 15A 125V straight blade plug without that indication, so it suits cord sets where ground monitoring is not part of the work procedure.
10) How fast is this plug to wire in the field?
The terminal screws on the PS5266X are color-coded, sit on the same plane, and come backed out, so you are not hunting for terminals or backing screws out before you start. Assembly uses a quick-thread tri-drive, and the cord-grip screw is recessed to keep the driver from slipping. For a crew building or repairing cord sets, that is the practical difference against a basic cord cap.
