Direct Plug-In Surge Protection

The Tripp Lite SK6-0 is a direct plug-in surge suppressor offering six NEMA 5-15R outlets for 120V AC equipment. It is suited for personal computers, CAD workstations, network nodes, point-of-sale terminals and audio-visual devices needing basic outlet expansion and transient protection.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The unit handles continuous loads up to 15 amps and 1800 watts across its six receptacles. Its 540-joule absorption rating and 150-volt RMS clamping voltage provide full normal mode (H-N) and common mode (N-G / H-G) suppression that meets UL1449 and exceeds IEEE 587 category A&B specifications during extended operation.

Pre-Installation Checks

Verify the installation site has a grounded NEMA 5-15R wall receptacle and that the combined draw of connected equipment stays within the 15-amp, 1800-watt limit. Ensure the 4.25 by 3.5 by 1.25-inch housing fits the available wall space without blocking adjacent outlets or switches.

Questions about this item

Will the SK6-0 run hot or draw extra power when it protects my gear all day?

The suppressor is passive. It clamps at 150 V RMS and absorbs 540 joules or 27,000 amps during a surge, but it adds no heat or power draw during normal operation.

What outlet type and voltage must my wall socket provide for the SK6-0 to work?

The unit plugs straight into a 120 V AC NEMA 5-15R receptacle and offers six NEMA 5-15R outlets rated at 15 A and 1,800 W total.

Can I keep using my older 120 V equipment with the SK6-0 without changing plugs?

Yes. The six NEMA 5-15R outlets accept standard 120 V plugs, so legacy devices connect directly while gaining full normal-mode and common-mode surge suppression.
