Industrial Flanged Receptacle
The Hubbell HBL5256 is a 15 A 125 V AC straight-blade receptacle designed for industrial panel mounting. Its phenolic body and brown finish suit equipment builders and maintenance crews wiring single-outlet power points in controlled indoor environments.
Panel Mount Integration
The side-wire terminals accept three conductors and the flanged face secures to a panel cut-out with screws, freeing DIN-rail space for other modules. No tamper-resistant shutters or weather sealing are fitted, so the device is not for public-access or outdoor locations.
Thermal and Electrical Behaviour
Rated for 15 A continuous at 125 V AC, the phenolic housing dissipates heat without a fan and operates silently. The 1/2 hp motor rating indicates suitability for small inductive loads, while the absence of surge suppression means external protection is required for sensitive electronics.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum continuous current the HBL5256 can handle before its 15 A rating becomes the limiting factor?
The receptacle is rated for 15 A at 125 V AC, so sustained loads above 15 amps will exceed its design limit.
How much heat does the phenolic body generate when the receptacle carries a full 15 A load all day?
Phenolic material resists heat buildup, and the device is built for industrial panel mounting where normal 15 A operation stays within safe temperature limits.
Which panel cut-out dimensions and mounting hardware must I already have to install this flanged receptacle?
The HBL5256 mounts in a standard panel opening with side-wiring terminals; you need the matching cut-out and screws for a secure fit.
