Straight Blade Plug for 15 A Circuits

This yellow straight blade plug carries a 15 A, 125 V AC rating with a NEMA 5-15P configuration. It suits installers wiring residential or light-commercial branch circuits where a grounded, polarized connection is required. The screw-terminal design accepts conductors up to 0.655 in. maximum cable diameter. Builders needing higher amperage or a locking blade style should select a different device.

Dust Tight Housing with V-2 Flammability Rating

The housing meets an IP20 dust-tight rating and a UL 94 V-2 flammability classification, helping limit ingress and flame spread in normal indoor use. Yellow colour aids visual identification in panels or on job sites. The device is also listed as moisture resistant and weather resistant for covered exterior locations. No active cooling or fan noise is involved in this passive component.

Screw Terminals and 2 hp Motor Rating

Screw terminals provide a secure wire connection without specialised crimp tools. The plug carries a 2 hp motor rating, allowing direct connection of compatible single-phase equipment. No software, drivers or configuration utilities are bundled with this wiring accessory. Users requiring quick-disconnect or push-in terminals will need an alternative product.

Questions about this item

How do I wire the screw terminals on the HBL1447 plug, and what step is often missed?

Strip each conductor to the correct length, insert fully into the brass, silver and green screw terminals, then tighten each screw firmly; the step often missed is verifying no stray strands bridge the terminals before snapping the housing shut.

Which part of the HBL1447 will need replacement first in a dusty, damp workshop?

The yellow V-2 rated housing resists dust and moisture, but the screw-terminal contacts can oxidise over time; inspect and retighten them periodically, and replace the plug if the blades show pitting or the housing cracks.

What is the first limit reached when the HBL1447 runs a 2 hp motor continuously?

The 15 A, 125 V rating and 2 hp motor rating set the thermal ceiling; sustained loads near 15 A will heat the screw terminals and V-2 housing first, so monitor temperature and ensure the cable diameter stays within 0.655 in.
