Pass & Seymour PTRA6STRBP PlugTail Right Angle Wire Connector, 12 AWG Stranded, 6-Inch
The Pass & Seymour PTRA6STRBP is a PlugTail Right Angle Wire Connector built with an IDEAL connector for fast, reliable terminations on PlugTail Receptacles. It features a #12 AWG, THHN, stranded copper conductor with pre-stripped 6-inch leads, housed in an ultrasonically welded polycarbonate connector body that is cULus Listed and finger-safe. The right-angle profile helps route conductors cleanly in tight box and device locations while maintaining a secure, code-compliant connection for commercial and residential electrical work.
Key Features
- Wire Specification: #12 AWG, THHN, stranded copper conductor with pre-stripped 6-inch leads for use with PlugTail Receptacles only.
- Right Angle Configuration: Right-angle connector design with IDEAL connector for compact, easy-access terminations.
- Durable Housing: Ultrasonically welded polycarbonate connector housing secures terminations and conductors in a UL Listed, finger-safe housing.
- Corrosion-Resistant Strap: Plated steel wrap strap design for maximum durability and corrosion resistance.
- Easier Termination: Pre-stripped connector leads fasten to conductors more easily than standard pigtails.
- 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 to +60°C maximum continuous without impact.
- Finish: Matte grey finish for a clean, professional appearance.

Pass & Seymour PTRA6-STRBP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Pass & Seymour PTRA6STRBP connector work with any standard receptacle, or only PlugTail devices?
PlugTail devices only. The PTRA6STRBP is a pigtail-style lead assembly whose connector body mates with Pass & Seymour PlugTail receptacles; it is not a general-purpose wire connector and will not terminate to a conventional receptacle's screw or back-wire terminals. If the devices on the job are standard receptacles, you need normal pigtails and wire nuts instead.
2) What wire size and insulation type are the leads on the PTRA6STRBP PlugTail connector?
Leads are #12 AWG stranded copper with THHN insulation, pre-stripped and 6 inches long. Stranded 12 AWG matters on a 20 amp branch circuit pull: if your box is wired in solid 12 AWG, the pre-stripped stranded leads still splice fine with an appropriately rated connector, but confirm your splice device accepts a solid-to-stranded combination.
3) Can a Leviton ML2-C midget connector be used in place of the Pass & Seymour PTRA6STRBP?
No. The PTRA6STRBP is a PlugTail right angle wire connector with pre-stripped 6-inch #12 AWG THHN stranded copper leads, and it is intended for use with PlugTail receptacles only - the plug end mates to the receptacle's PlugTail connector. The Leviton ML2-C is a midget connector for general electrical wiring and is supplied in packs of 100; it has no PlugTail plug interface, so it will not land on a PlugTail device. If the device in the box is a PlugTail receptacle, the connector has to be a PlugTail connector.
4) We need to splice two 2 AWG copper runs in a pull box - is the Pass & Seymour PTRA6STRBP the right connector?
No. The PTRA6STRBP is built around #12 AWG stranded copper leads and is a device-connection part for PlugTail receptacles, not a conductor splice. For a bolted copper run-and-tap splice, the Burndy KVS34 is a 2-bolt copper run and tap splice connector. For medium-voltage work up to 35 kV on 2 or 1 AWG, the 3M SC0001 is a stem connector in the SC series. Those address large-conductor splicing; the PTRA6STRBP addresses branch-circuit device terminations.
5) Why choose the right angle PlugTail connector over a straight one?
The right angle body turns the leads off to the side instead of straight back, so conductors fold into a crowded box without forcing the device out of the plane of the wall. That is the reason to pick it on shallow boxes, boxes stuffed with multiple circuits, or where a conduit entry sits directly behind the device. If you have depth to spare, a straight PlugTail lead is simpler to dress.
6) Can I use the PTRA6STRBP as a general splice or tap connector?
No. It is a PlugTail lead assembly with a factory IDEAL connector on one end, built to plug a device in, not to splice conductors to each other. For run-and-tap or splice work you want a dedicated splice connector such as the Burndy KVS34 two-bolt copper run and tap splice, or for small-conductor wiring the Leviton ML2-C midget connector.
7) What is the difference between the Pass & Seymour PTRA6STRBP and a general-purpose connector like the Leviton ML2-C when wiring a tight device box?
The PTRA6STRBP has a right angle configuration, which routes the leads flat against the back of the box instead of straight out of the device, and its polycarbonate housing is ultrasonically welded, cULus Listed and finger-safe with pre-stripped leads that fasten to branch conductors more easily than standard pigtails. The Leviton ML2-C is a midget connector for electrical wiring in the ML2 series, sold 100 to a pack as a loose connector rather than a leaded, device-specific assembly. The choice comes down to whether you are landing on a PlugTail device or making a conventional wire-to-wire connection.
8) What temperature range can the PlugTail right angle connector handle?
Continuous operating range runs from -40 C minimum to +60 C maximum without impact, and the assembly holds 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 -40 C floor is what makes it usable in unconditioned spaces and exterior-wall boxes in cold climates.
9) Does the PlugTail connector come in a bulk pack, and what does it look like installed?
The PTRA6STRBP is ordered as a single model, in a matte grey polycarbonate body. If you are standardizing hundreds of devices across a building, the grey body is consistent across the PlugTail leads, so what the next electrician pulls off the shelf matches what is already in the walls. For high-count small-connector buys, the Leviton ML2-C ships in packs of 100, but that is a different type of connector, not a PlugTail lead.
10) Is there corrosion protection on the PlugTail right angle connector strap?
The strap is a plated steel wrap design, chosen for durability and corrosion resistance. Combined with the sealed, ultrasonically welded polycarbonate body, that is what holds the terminations captive in damp or temperature-cycling locations rather than relying on a screw that can back out.
11) Where is the Pass & Seymour PTRA6STRBP made, and what part number should I order?
Order it as Pass & Seymour PTRA6-STRBP (catalogued PTRA6STRBP). Country of origin is Mexico, which is the detail government and institutional buyers need for trade-compliance documentation on an electrical submittal.
