Hubbell Incorporated SNAP5362BKTRA Straight Blade Receptacle 5-20R

Electrical Receptacle for Commercial Wiring

The Hubbell SNAP5362BKTRA is a straight-blade 5-20R receptacle built for new construction and renovation projects. Its SNAPConnect modular design replaces conventional pigtail wiring with a factory-terminated connector that snaps into place during trim-out. The audible snap confirms a solid connection every time, reducing installation time for electricians and maintenance crews. Tamper-resistant shutters add a safety layer required in many commercial settings.

Practical Limits of the SNAPConnect System

The system relies on a dedicated modular connector installed at rough-in, so the rough-in phase must account for this specific component. Device change-outs are simplified because the connector stays in the box, but the initial installation still requires standard box mounting and circuit wiring. The product ships with restrictions for certain states, so local code adoption should be verified before specifying. No additional wiring technologies or communication protocols are involved.

Upgrade from Traditional Pigtail Wiring

This receptacle replaces standard devices that rely on field-made pigtail splices and screw-terminal connections. The jump is worth it when project schedules demand faster trim-out or when maintenance teams need to swap devices without re-terminating conductors. Assembled in the USA, it suits contractors who prefer a consistent, repeatable connection method over traditional hand-wired approaches. Buyers who need a different NEMA configuration or a non-modular device should look elsewhere.
