Straight-Blade Receptacles with USB Chargers
Charge mobile devices without an adapter. Receptacles have two USB ports to connect smartphones and tablet computers. The NEMA slots have internal shutters to prevent the insertion of foreign objects and accidental contact with power. All fit standard GFCI wall plates (not included).

EMI Filtering IEC Connectors
Bring power into electronic devices while protecting them from harmful electromagnetic interference (EMI). All of these connectors are compatible with standard IEC power cords. Often used to convey power from wall outlets, there’s no need to wire your devices to an external power source. Instead, wire these connectors into your device with the terminals on the back of each connector. When selecting a connector, make sure the current is at or slightly above the requirements of your device for the best EMI filtering performance.
All of these connectors meet U.S. and international standards for safety. They also meet UL 94 V-0, which means they self-extinguish within 10 seconds if they catch fire, and won’t spread the fire by dripping. Rated IP40, these connectors prevent objects larger than 1 mm, such as wire, from making contact with a live circuit and shocking you. They also include shock protection. Class II shock protection means there are two levels of insulation to prevent electrical shocks.
Snap-in connectors mount to devices with snap-in tabs—no fasteners needed—but require a specific panel thickness and a precisely cut hole for secure mounting.
Quick-disconnect terminal wire connections are faster to wire than tab terminal connections. The terminals slide together with the quick-disconnect terminals on your wiring and are easily disconnected by hand, but still provide a strong hold.

Nano M8 Connectors
Also known as pico connectors, these are for low-current devices such as 8 mm and smaller proximity switches and photoelectric switches.
To view wiring diagrams, select a part number and click Product Detail.
Receptacles thread into panels and walls, so they work well in stationary or permanent installations.
IP67 rated connectors protect against dust and temporary submersion. NEMA 6 rated connectors protect against dust, washdowns, and temporary submersion.
Note: Sockets and female receptacles may have extra holes on the face that are not used.

Convert one outlet into multiple outlets.
Styles E-J have USB ports to charge mobile devices.
Splitters with surge suppression protect devices from voltage spikes. Surge rating indicates how much energy the outlet strip can absorb before it needs to be replaced. The higher the number, the better the protection.
