Pass & Seymour TR63HW 20A 125V Hospital-Grade Tamper-Resistant Duplex Receptacle, White
The Pass & Seymour TR63HW is a 20A 125V hospital-grade, tamper-resistant duplex receptacle finished in white and built for back and side wire installation. Constructed with an impact-resistant nylon face and back body plus an extra heavy-duty one-piece brass mounting strap with integral ground, this receptacle is engineered for the demanding reliability standards required in hospital-grade applications. It is cULus Listed, giving electrical contractors and facility engineers a code-compliant option for high-use environments.
Key Features
- Amperage/Voltage Rating: 20A, 125V for standard duplex receptacle circuits.
- Durable Construction: Impact-resistant nylon face and back body with an extra heavy-duty, one-piece brass mounting strap with integral ground for long-term durability.
- Secure Assembly: Two drive screws anchor the strap to the back body and face; strap tabs wrap around and lock down on the face to prevent separation of strap from face and back body.
- Tamper-Resistant Design: Thermoplastic dual mechanism shutter system helps prevent insertion of foreign objects into the receptacle openings.

Pass & Seymour TR63HW – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Pass & Seymour TR63HW a true hospital-grade receptacle, and what makes it one?
The TR63HW is a hospital-grade 20A 125V duplex receptacle. The construction behind that designation is an extra heavy-duty one-piece brass mounting strap with integral ground, two drive screws anchoring the strap to the back body and face with strap tabs that wrap and lock onto the face so the strap cannot separate, and one-piece nickel-plated brass triple-wipe power contacts for plug retention. Face and back body are impact-resistant nylon. It is cULus Listed.
2) Can I use a 20 amp receptacle like the TR63HW on a patient-room circuit that also needs tamper resistance?
That is exactly what the TR63HW is built for. It combines hospital-grade construction with a thermoplastic dual mechanism shutter system that blocks insertion of foreign objects into the slots, so one device covers both the hospital-grade and tamper-resistant requirements on a 20A 125V branch circuit instead of specifying two separate parts.
3) Does the TR63HW back wire, or do I have to wrap conductors around the screws?
Both work. It uses external screw-pressure-plate back wire clamps with #10 brass terminal screws, so you can land the conductor straight in the clamp and see the connection, or side wire under the screw head. The ground terminal has its own patented external screw-pressure-plate back wire clamp. Note these are pressure-plate clamps, not push-in stab connections.
4) Is the Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W a direct replacement for a Pass & Seymour TR63HW?
No. The Eaton Arrow Hart 5262W is a heavy-duty industrial duplex receptacle rated 15A 125V with a 5-15R face in gray, while the Pass & Seymour TR63HW is a 20A 125V hospital-grade tamper-resistant duplex in white. The amperage, device face and color all differ, so the 5262W will not satisfy a 20A receptacle requirement or a hospital-grade specification. Use the 5262W only on 15A general-purpose industrial circuits where gray is acceptable.
5) What is the closest 20A 125V duplex receptacle to the Pass & Seymour TR63HW if hospital-grade and tamper-resistant are not required?
The Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle, matching the TR63HW's 20A 125V duplex configuration. The difference is construction class: the TR63HW is built to hospital-grade standards with a thermoplastic dual-shutter tamper-resistant mechanism and an extra heavy-duty one-piece brass mounting strap with integral ground, while the 5362B is rated heavy-duty without a tamper-resistant shutter system. Choose the TR63HW where a patient-care area or a tamper-resistant location is specified; the 5362B suits general heavy-use 20A commercial circuits.
6) Will the TR63HW hold up in a corridor or equipment room that runs hot or cold?
It is rated for continuous operation from -40C to +60C without impact, and holds a maximum 30C temperature rise at full rated current after 50 cycles of overload at 150 percent of rated current with direct current. That covers unconditioned mechanical spaces as well as patient areas.
7) I just need a tough 20 amp duplex for a commercial office, not a hospital. What else could I use instead of the TR63HW?
If the job has no healthcare or tamper-resistant requirement, a heavy-duty commercial duplex is the closer match. The Bryant 5362B is a heavy-duty 20A/125V duplex receptacle, and the 5362BI is the same heavy-duty 20A/125V device in ivory. Neither is described as hospital-grade, so if your spec or the AHJ calls for hospital-grade in a patient care area, stay with the TR63HW.
8) Will the TR63HW fit a standard single-gang box and wall plate?
Yes. It is a standard duplex receptacle body measuring 2.75 in high, 1.625 in wide and 0.9 in deep, mounted on a one-piece brass strap, so it drops into a normal single-gang device box and takes a standard duplex wall plate. Check box fill and depth if the box is shallow or already crowded.
9) What should I use instead of the TR63HW if the opening needs a single receptacle rather than a duplex?
The Pass & Seymour TR63HW is a duplex device, so it will not serve an opening specified for one outlet. The Eaton 6450W is an industrial specification grade decorator single receptacle accepting #14-10 AWG conductors, and the Eaton 816W-BOX is a commercial specification grade single receptacle rated 15A. Both are single-outlet devices; neither carries the TR63HW's hospital-grade tamper-resistant shutter construction, so confirm the drawing does not call for hospital grade before substituting.
10) Can I use the Bryant 5362BI where a TR63HW is specified in ivory?
The Bryant 5362BI is a 20A/125V heavy-duty duplex receptacle, so it matches the TR63HW on amperage and voltage. It does not match on appearance or construction class: the TR63HW is a white matte hospital-grade tamper-resistant device, while the 5362BI is a heavy-duty grade device. If the specification is driven by the hospital-grade and tamper-resistant requirements, the 5362BI is not an equivalent; if it is driven only by 20A 125V duplex capacity, it is.
11) Which receptacles look like alternatives to the TR63HW but serve a completely different purpose?
Several devices in the same family are not straight-blade 125V duplex outlets at all. The Bryant 70520FR is a NEMA flanged locking receptacle, the Eaton 7379 is an industrial locking receptacle rated 50A at 600V/250V AC/DC, the Bryant 430R9W is a 2-pole 3-wire 277V motor-duty receptacle, and the Appleton FSQC3430 is an interlocked explosionproof receptacle. None of these accept a standard 125V straight-blade plug the way the Pass & Seymour TR63HW does, and none are hospital-grade tamper-resistant duplex devices.
12) For a hazardous or wash-down area where the TR63HW cannot be used, what receptacle covers 20A service?
The Pass & Seymour TR63HW is a cULus Listed hospital-grade duplex receptacle intended for healthcare and institutional interior wiring, not classified locations. For a hazardous area, the Appleton U-Line ECS factory-sealed 15 and 20 amp plug and receptacle set is a 3-pole factory-sealed assembly covering 20A, and the Appleton FSQC Series interlocked explosionproof receptacle is built for the same class of environment. Both are cord-and-plug style devices rather than a flush duplex, so the box and cover requirements differ from a TR63HW installation.
13) What color and finish is the TR63HW, and will it match standard white wall plates?
White with a matte face, so it sits alongside standard white device plates without the gloss mismatch you get from some older ivory or gloss-white devices. Only the white version carries the TR63HW catalog number.
14) If I am standardizing receptacles across a facility, how do the specification grades of these receptacles rank against the TR63HW?
The Pass & Seymour TR63HW is built to hospital-grade construction with triple-wipe nickel-plated brass power contacts and an extra heavy-duty one-piece brass strap. Among the alternatives, the Eaton 7379 is rated extra heavy duty, the Eaton 5262W and 6450W are industrial specification grade, the Bryant 5362B and 5362BI are heavy-duty, and the Eaton 816W-BOX is commercial specification grade. Patient-care and tamper-resistant locations call for the TR63HW; the others let you match grade to traffic in offices, corridors and back-of-house areas.
15) Where is the Pass & Seymour TR63HW made?
Mexico. That matters on public projects with country-of-origin or procurement-clause requirements, so it is worth confirming against your contract language before you submit.
