Thomas & Betts 8703 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What amperage and voltage is the Thomas & Betts 8703 receptacle rated for?
The Thomas & Betts 8703 is a 20 amp, 250 volt receptacle wired 3-pole, 2-wire. That configuration covers two hot legs plus a third pole with no separate equipment grounding conductor, so it suits older 250V equipment circuits rather than modern grounded 3-pole 4-wire setups. If your equipment requires a dedicated ground wire, you need a 3P 4W device instead.
2) What is the housing on the Thomas & Betts 8703 receptacle made of?
Heavy gauge plated steel. That is a metal-housed device rather than a molded thermoplastic one, which is why it gets specified for industrial and MRO work where the device takes mechanical abuse, not for finished residential walls.
3) Can I use the Thomas & Betts 8703 on a 120V circuit?
No. The 8703 is a 250 volt, 3-pole 2-wire device intended for two-hot-leg 250V circuits at 20 amps. For a standard 120V single-phase load you need a 125V-rated wiring device; installing this one on 120V gives you a configuration no standard 120V plug will mate with.
4) Does the 8703 receptacle come as a single piece or in a multi-pack?
Sold individually. The 8703 selling unit is each, so one order quantity equals one receptacle. Facilities standardizing a run of 250V equipment drops order the count they need rather than a carton.
5) Is the Thomas & Betts 8703 part of the locking connector line?
Yes. The 8703 falls in the Thomas & Betts DuraTite and Ever-Lok locking connection family of plugs and connectors, so it is intended for connections that stay made under vibration and pull rather than straight-blade general-purpose outlets.
