Snapconnect 20 A 5-20R Modular Receptacle
The Snapconnect SNAP5362A is a 20-amp, 125 VAC duplex receptacle built for modular wiring systems. Its SNAPConnect® design lets installers fit the connector during rough-in and snap the device on after the wall is finished. The brown nylon face and housing suit residential or light-commercial flush-mount applications.
Thermal and Power Characteristics
The receptacle carries a UL94 V-2 flammability rating and withstands a minimum 2,000 V dielectric test. It is rated for continuous operation from -40 °F to +167 °F without impact. Brass contacts and a galvanized steel mounting strap maintain conductivity across that temperature span. No active cooling or fan is involved, so the device runs silently.
NEMA 5-20R Configuration Decides Fit
The single specification that determines suitability is the NEMA 5-20R straight-blade, polarised, grounded configuration rated for 20 A at 125 VAC. It accepts #12 AWG conductors via modular back-wired terminals and includes a grounding clip, staple and mounting hardware. Buyers needing a different NEMA pattern, higher amperage or a non-modular wiring method must select another device.

Questions about this item
How do I install the SNAPConnect SNAP5362A receptacle and what step is often missed?
Install the connector during rough-in, then attach the receptacle after the wall is finished. The grounding clip, staple and mounting hardware are included for flush mounting.
What maintenance or replacement will this receptacle need over time?
The nylon face, brass contacts and galvanised steel strap are rated for -40°F to +167°F operation. Inspect contacts periodically; replace the unit if discolouration, heat damage or loose plug fit appears.
What is the first limit reached under sustained heavy load?
The 20 A, 125 VAC rating and 2,000 V dielectric strength define the continuous operating ceiling. Exceeding 20 amps or the temperature range triggers the safety limit first.
