SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Pass & Seymour/Legrand (P&S), a leading manufacturer of electrical wiring devices and home systems, today unveiled its redesigned Straight Blade Plug and Connector offering, featuring the Commercial/Industrial Grade Plug PS5266-X. This Plug is part of P&S's best selling extra hard use (EHU) products - the most durable product line ever.

The products range in applications from residential and light commercial to indoor and outdoor industrial, and many of the devices are ideal for use in the MRO market.

"We gathered input from electrical contractors and other Industrial/MRO clients, to develop a product line that truly meets their needs," said Jeff Mehrer, Product Manager for Pass & Seymour/Legrand. "Each product's enhanced safety features ensure optimal performance and save time with every use. These redesigned bestsellers and new products give P&S the most complete plug and connector offering in the marketplace."

Commercial/Industrial Grade Plug PS5266-X
The PS5266-X Plug is perfect for numerous applications, including use with power tools, extension cords, heavy machinery and lighting. A new 2-piece cord grip with off-set jaws holds conductors in place for superior retention of terminations. A dust seal has been added to the cord grip, for unparalleled contaminant protection, and P&S changed the cord grip screw from a #6 to a #8, increasing torque capabilities for installers using battery powered and pneumatic drivers.

Additional features include an enclosed terminal, a durable, comfort-grip nylon back body and single plane terminal screws. With all terminals on the same side, the Plug can be wired quickly and easily. This allows for hours of potential labor savings.

Another notable product in the Plug and Connector lineup is P&S's new PS5965Y Max Grip M3 Plug and Connector Body. The Max Grip M3 replaces P&S's Max Grip 2 and Hippo Hinge products. The Max Grip 3 features a 1-piece hinged body for speedy installation, an open terminal design for visual identification, and a clamping cord grip for better conductor retention.

One new product being introduced into the P&S Plug and Connector lineup is the new 4867Y. With a durable nylon body, 2-piece cord grip and open terminal design, this product is ideal for residential and light commercial jobs.
