Pass & Seymour PS5969Y MaxGrip M3 Cord Connector, Yellow Nylon

The Pass & Seymour PS5969Y is a MaxGrip M3 cord connector finished in high-visibility yellow nylon, built with enclosed, internally-clamped terminals for solid, secure conductor connections. A self-hinge housing swings wide open for quick, clean field wiring, and the tough nylon body is engineered with crush and impact resistance that exceeds hospital grade and Federal Specification requirements. The PS5969Y is cULus Listed, making it a dependable choice for cord connections on commercial and industrial equipment.

Key Features

  • Enclosed Terminals: Internally-clamped terminals provide solid, reliable conductor connections.
  • Self-Hinge Design: Hinge housing swings wide open to make quick, easy work of light, clean cord connections — insert conductors into terminals, tighten terminal screws, then close the hinge housing around the cord and tighten housing screws.
  • Durable Construction: Tough nylon housing offers crush and impact resistance that exceeds hospital grade and Fed Spec requirements, with arc resistance exceeding UL requirements.

Pass & Seymour PS5969-Y – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the MaxGrip M3 self-hinge housing actually do when you're wiring a cord in the field?
The Pass & Seymour PS5969Y cord connector opens on a hinge so the housing swings wide while you work. Sequence is: drop the conductors into the enclosed terminals, tighten the terminal screws, then close the hinge housing around the cord jacket and tighten the housing screws. The terminals are internally clamped, so the conductor is captured inside the body rather than pinched under an exposed screw head. Molded finger grips on the body give you something to hold while you cinch it down.
2) Our hospital spec calls for hospital grade cord connectors - can I use the PS5969Y?
Read the spec carefully before you substitute. The PS5969Y MaxGrip M3 has crush and impact resistance that exceeds hospital grade and Federal Specification requirements and is cULus Listed, but it is a cord connector body rather than a hospital grade receptacle-type connector. Where the spec calls for a listed hospital grade connector with a NEMA face, the Bryant 8269T is hospital grade in NEMA 5-15R and the Leviton 8319-C is hospital grade in NEMA 5-20R.
3) Is the Pass & Seymour PS5969Y the same thing as a NEMA 5-15R cord connector like the Bryant 8269T?
No. The PS5969Y MaxGrip M3 is a cord connector body with enclosed, internally-clamped terminals and a self-hinge housing that closes around the cord - it terminates conductors, it does not give you a receptacle face. The Bryant 8269T is a hospital grade NEMA 5-15R connector, meaning it presents a 15A 125V slotted receptacle to accept a matching plug. If the job is plugging equipment into a cord end, you want a NEMA-configured connector; if the job is making a clean, strain-relieved cord termination on commercial or industrial equipment, the PS5969Y is the part.
4) What is the difference between a cord connector like the PS5969Y and a straight blade connector body?
They solve different problems. The PS5969Y MaxGrip M3 is a cord connector, the wiring device that terminates and grips the cord itself, with internally clamped terminals and a hinged housing that clamps the jacket. A straight blade connector body is the mating female end that plugs onto a cord cap, specified by NEMA configuration and amperage, like the Eaton Arrow Hart severe duty NEMA 5-15R at 15A 125V or the Leviton 3-wire 2-pole industrial grade at 125V 20A. If what you need is a device that accepts a plug, order one of those; if you are terminating portable cord, the PS5969Y is the right class of part.
5) Will nylon hold up where a connector gets stepped on or dropped?
That is the case the PS5969Y is made for. The body is nylon rather than thermoplastic rubber, and it is specified with crush and impact resistance beyond hospital grade and Fed Spec levels, which is why it gets used on portable cord and equipment cord assemblies in commercial and industrial installations. Arc resistance also exceeds UL requirements.
6) I need the exact part number and manufacturer data to submit on an electrical package. What do I cite for this connector?
Order it as Pass & Seymour PS5969Y, MaxGrip M3 cord connector, yellow nylon, manufacturer part number PS5969-Y. It is cULus Listed and made in Mexico. The Pass & Seymour spec sheet is published with the product for submittal purposes.
7) For rough job-site and plant duty, how does the PS5969Y compare with the Eaton Arrow Hart severe duty connector?
Both are built for abuse but answer it differently. The PS5969Y MaxGrip M3 uses a tough nylon housing with crush and impact resistance that exceeds hospital grade and Federal Specification requirements, arc resistance exceeding UL requirements, molded finger grips, and a high-visibility yellow finish, and it is cULus Listed. The Eaton Arrow Hart 1547 is classed severe duty and is a straight blade NEMA 5-15R connector rated 15A 125V, so it gives you a mating receptacle face on the cord end. Pick the Eaton if the assembly has to accept a plug; pick the PS5969Y if you are terminating a cord into equipment.
8) Why is this cord connector yellow, and does the color change anything about the device?
Yellow is purely a visibility choice on the PS5969Y. The housing is yellow nylon so the connection point stands out on a job site or shop floor where cords run across the ground. Nothing about the terminals, the hinge housing, or the cULus Listing changes with the color.
9) Does the PS5969Y come in other colors or sizes?
The PS5969Y is a single configuration: yellow nylon MaxGrip M3 cord connector, part number PS5969-Y. There are no alternate color or size options under that number, so if a project calls for a different housing color you are looking at a different Pass & Seymour part number.
10) I only need a few pieces - the Leviton 8319-C comes as a pack of 100. What is the alternative?
The Leviton 8319-C is supplied as a pack of 100 hospital grade NEMA 5-20R connectors in black, which suits standardizing a whole facility. For small-count work the PS5969Y MaxGrip M3 cord connector is ordered as a single model, PS5969Y, in yellow nylon, and the Bryant 8269T hospital grade NEMA 5-15R connector is the single-piece option if you need a 15A receptacle face.
