Questions about this item

Will the #12–#10 AWG screw terminals need re-torquing after years of thermal cycling?

The back and side wired screw terminals accept #12–#10 AWG copper wire; periodic inspection and re-torquing to the manufacturer’s specification is recommended for long-term reliability.

What is the maximum continuous current the NEMA 5-20R contacts can carry before temperature rise becomes the limiting factor?

The receptacle is rated 20 A at 125 V AC; sustained loads at or near 20 A will cause the contact temperature to approach the 167 °F (75 °C) operating limit first.

How warm does the thermoplastic polyester face get when the outlet runs at 20 A all day?

At full 20 A load the device operates within its rated -40 °F to 167 °F (-40 °C to 75 °C) range, so the face temperature will not exceed 167 °F under normal conditions.
