Hubbell Incorporated HBL5369VY Connector 5-20R 20A 125V Yellow video accessory

Industrial Connector for 20 A Circuits

The Hubbell HBL5369VY is a 5-20R straight-blade connector rated for 20 A at 125 V AC. It is built for industrial and commercial electrical installations where a grounded, polarised connection is required. The yellow thermoplastic elastomer housing and nylon construction provide moisture, dust and weather resistance with an IP20 rating for indoor dry locations. Electricians and facility managers specifying durable power connections will find it suited to harsh-environment demands.

Wiring Flexibility and Cord Compatibility

A hinged one-piece body opens for direct access during wiring and uses captive screw terminals for secure conductor attachment. The connector accepts stranded copper wire from 18 AWG to 12 AWG and accommodates cord diameters from .300" to .660". Offsetting cord grips hold individual conductors in place, reducing strain on the terminals. No special tools are needed beyond a standard screwdriver, and the design frees up time during panel assembly or field repairs.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Brass contacts and an insulated body maintain stable conductivity under continuous 20 A loading in dry indoor environments. The thermoplastic elastomer housing resists deformation and cracking during prolonged thermal cycling. IP20 protection limits ingress of dust that could increase contact resistance over time. Installations requiring extended duty cycles in fixed equipment benefit from the robust screw-terminal clamp force and captive hardware that resists loosening under vibration.
