Original Press Release:



15A NEMA Tamper Resistant Power Outlet



Qualtek and TLC Electronics have introduced part number 739W-X2/45, a 15A NEMA 5-15R tamper resistant convenience outlet.  The tamper resistant system features a built-in shutter system which prevents foreign objects from touching electrically live components when they’re inserted into the slots. The plugs can be inserted and removed just as with standard electrical outlets. This outlet has been designed with a quick snap-in mounting configuration and will work with panel thicknesses from 0.8mm to 2.0mm.  739W-X2/45 utilizes the same panel cutout as Qualtek’s popular 739W-X2/03 NEMA 5-15R outlet, so this outlet is compatible with existing applications. Insulation displacement connections (IDC) eliminate the need for special tools and are designed to be used with 14AWG solid copper conductors. 



The current carrying capacity of this outlet is up to 15A at 125VAC and is rated under the Component Recognition Program of UL File No. E139605.
