<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>The <strong>Pass Seymour PS5969-Y</strong> is a MaxGrip straight blade connector rated for 15 amperes at 125 volts. It features a NEMA 5-15R receptacle configuration with 2-pole, 3-wire grounding and is constructed from impact-resistant nylon for durability in commercial and residential environments. The yellow nylon housing provides visual identification and is backed by decades of Pass & Seymour engineering focused on field reliability.</p>
<h2>Key Features</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>MaxGrip M3 Design:</strong> <cite index="5-6">Tri-drive assembly and terminal screws with self-hinged nylon housings install quickly and easily.</cite></li>
<li><strong>Self-Hinge Housing:</strong> <cite index="1-2">Self-hinge swings wide open to make quick, easy work of light, clean connections.</cite></li>
<li><strong>Enclosed Terminals:</strong> <cite index="5-5">Enclosed terminals provide solid, internally-clamped connections.</cite></li>
<li><strong>High Retention Cord Grip:</strong> <cite index="5-7">Rugged construction and high retention cord grips help them shrug off impacts and constant use.</cite></li>
<li><strong>Impact & Crush Resistance:</strong> <cite index="10-10">Tough nylon construction with crush / impact resistance that exceeds hospital grade and fed Spec requirements.</cite></li>
