Industrial Panel-Mount Inlet
The Hubbell HBL5678C is a straight-blade flanged inlet rated for 15 A at 250 V AC. It mounts directly into a panel and accepts #18–#10 AWG copper conductors via back-wired screw terminals. The nylon and polycarbonate housing surrounds brass blades in a NEMA 6-15R configuration. Mounting screws are supplied for immediate installation.
NEMA 6-15R Configuration
This inlet uses the NEMA 6-15R pattern, a two-pole three-wire grounding layout that only mates with a matching 6-15 plug. If your equipment or cord set uses a different NEMA code the inlet will not connect. The rating of 15 A and 250 V AC is fixed by that configuration.
Capacity and Environmental Limits
The device carries a 15 A continuous current rating and is dielectric-tested to 2 000 V. It operates from –40 °C to +75 °C, making it suitable for unheated industrial spaces. UL listing (E2186) and CSA certification to C22.2 No. 42 confirm compliance for permanent wiring. No cover, weather seal or tamper resistance is provided, so outdoor or wet locations require a separate enclosure.
