Pass & Seymour PTRA6STR PlugTail Right-Angle Stranded Connector, 6-in Lead

The Pass & Seymour PTRA6STR PlugTail Connector is a right-angle, stranded pigtail engineered for use exclusively with PlugTail Receptacles, streamlining device terminations on commercial and industrial electrical projects. It features a #12 AWG, THHN, stranded copper conductor with a 6-in pre-stripped lead, housed in an ultrasonically welded polycarbonate connector housing that keeps terminations and conductors secure inside a finger-safe enclosure. Backed by cULus and UL Listings, the PTRA6STR delivers a faster, more reliable alternative to standard pigtail wiring for electricians working with the PlugTail system.

Key Features

  • Right-Angle, Stranded Configuration: PlugTail Connector built at a right angle with stranded conductors for easier routing and dressing inside boxes and enclosures.
  • 6-in Lead Length: Pre-stripped 6-in lead simplifies termination versus standard pigtails; custom lengths up to 25 inches are available through Configurable Solutions ordering.
  • Conductor Specification: #12 AWG, THHN, copper conductor, stripped and stranded, designed for use with PlugTail Receptacles only.
  • Durable Connector Housing: Ultrasonically welded polycarbonate housing secures terminations and conductors inside a UL Listed, finger-safe enclosure.
  • Plated Steel Wrap Strap: Plated steel wrap strap design provides maximum durability and corrosion resistance for long service life.
  • Temperature Performance: 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 (without impact) to +60°C maximum continuous.
  • Faster Termination: Pre-stripped connector leads fasten to conductors more quickly and easily than standard pigtail wiring.

Pass & Seymour PTRA6-SOL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Pass & Seymour PTRA6 PlugTail connector be used with standard receptacles, or only PlugTail devices?
PlugTail only. The PTRA6 is built to plug into Pass & Seymour PlugTail receptacles and nothing else. If the device in the box has screw terminals or back-wire clamps, this connector won't mate with it and you need conventional pigtails or direct terminations instead.
2) Should I order the solid or stranded version of the PTRA6 PlugTail connector?
Match the connector lead to the branch circuit conductor you are splicing to. The PTRA6 comes two ways: PTRA6-SOL with a solid #12 lead and PTRA6-STR with a stranded #12 THHN copper lead. Most commercial branch circuits pulled in conduit are stranded, while romex rough-ins are solid, so pick the lead that pairs cleanly with what's in the box.
3) Is the PlugTail PTRA6 connector UL Listed for commercial work?
Yes, cULus Listed and UL Listed, with the polycarbonate housing itself being a UL Listed finger-safe enclosure. That covers both US and Canadian inspection on commercial and industrial installs.
4) Can an Ideal 30-1012 INSURE push-in connector replace the Pass & Seymour PTRA6 PlugTail connector?
No. The PTRA6 is a right-angle PlugTail connector with a pre-stripped #12 AWG THHN lead that plugs directly into PlugTail receptacles, so it only works within that system. The Ideal Industries 30-1012 is an INSURE wire connector rated for 12 AWG and sold in a 90-pack; it splices conductors to each other but has no PlugTail interface, so it cannot terminate a PlugTail device. Use the 30-1012 for conventional splices in the box and the PTRA6 where a PlugTail receptacle is being fed.
5) What wire gauge does the PTRA6 PlugTail connector terminate?
It's a #12 AWG copper lead, pre-stripped and 6 inches long. That makes it a 20-amp branch circuit part. If your home run is #10 or #14 this is not the right lead.
6) Why choose the right-angle PlugTail connector instead of the straight version?
The right-angle body turns the leads so they dress back into the box rather than straight out of the device, which helps in shallow boxes and crowded multi-gang installs. Configuration is listed as Right Angle. If you have depth to spare and want the simplest run, a straight PlugTail connector is the easier pick.
7) Is 6 inches of lead enough, or can I get a longer PlugTail connector?
The stock lead is 6 inches, measured pre-stripped. Pass & Seymour offers custom lengths up to 25 inches through Configurable Solutions ordering if you need to reach a deep box or a remote splice point.
8) Is a PlugTail connector a substitute for a twist-on wire nut or a split bolt?
No, they solve different problems. The PTRA6 is a system part that plugs into a PlugTail receptacle, so it replaces the pigtail between the box wiring and the device. For general splicing of #12 conductors in a box you'd use a twist-on type like the Ideal Industries 30-1012 INSURE connector, and for heavy conductor taps you'd use a split bolt such as the NSi N-4 copper split bolt. None of those will mate with a PlugTail device.
9) I need to tap a feeder, not land a receptacle - is the PTRA6 the right connector?
No. The Pass & Seymour PTRA6 is a device-termination pigtail for PlugTail receptacles, with a 6 inch pre-stripped #12 AWG copper lead. For tapping a conductor, the Burndy YHD series is an aluminum compression line tap connector, and NSi offers copper split bolt connectors including the tin plated N-SP series and the 2-wire N series. Those are the connectors intended for tap and splice work on larger conductors.
10) Is the Wiremold W30W30G pressure-type connector an alternative to the PlugTail PTRA6?
They do different jobs. The Wiremold W30W30G is a steel pressure-type wire connector from the 2000 Series raceway line, used for making connections within surface raceway runs. The Pass & Seymour PTRA6 is a cULus listed right-angle PlugTail connector in a grey polycarbonate housing, built to plug into PlugTail receptacles only. If the receptacle on the job is a PlugTail device, the PTRA6 is the mating part regardless of what raceway hardware is used elsewhere.
11) Between solid and stranded, which PTRA6 do I order, and does a generic 12 AWG connector cover both?
The PTRA6 is ordered by wire type: PTRA6-SOL for solid conductors and PTRA6-STR for stranded. Each has a pre-stripped #12 AWG THHN lead matched to the conductor type in the box. A general-purpose twist or push-in connector such as the Ideal Industries 30-1012 INSURE is also sized for 12 AWG, but it splices wire to wire rather than feeding a PlugTail receptacle, so it is not a substitute for choosing the correct PTRA6 version.
12) What temperature range can the PlugTail connector operate in?
Rated from -40 C minimum (without impact) to +60 C maximum continuous, with a maximum 30 C temperature rise at full rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150 percent of rated current with direct current. That covers unconditioned warehouses and mechanical rooms.
13) Will the PlugTail connector housing hold up in a damp or corrosive environment?
The housing is ultrasonically welded polycarbonate, sealed so the terminations and conductors stay enclosed, and the wrap strap is plated steel for corrosion resistance. The body is grey with a matte finish.
14) Does using PlugTail connectors actually save labor on a trim-out?
The value is in splitting rough-in from trim. You land the pre-stripped 6-inch leads on the branch conductors during rough-in, then at trim the device snaps on with no screw terminations at all. On renovation and new construction work that removes the per-device wrap-and-tighten step, which is the whole reason crews standardize on the system.
