Leviton’s new 50A heavy-duty EV charging receptacle (+datasheet)

Leviton has announced the launch of its new industrial grade 50 Amp Heavy Duty EV Charging Receptacle.

This device is designed to power plug-in Electric Vehicle Charging Stations, with a robust design that can sustain extended charge times and high frequency of insertions. A weather-resistant model is also available for outdoor use.

The Leviton 50A Heavy Duty EV Charging Receptacle is constructed from durable high impact nylon and features heavy-gauge, high performance copper contacts. The pressure wire terminal connections ensure full contact with the conductors, and a high torque value is necessary for proper connection; terminals require 75 in-lbs. The device is compatible with #4, #6, or #8 AWG copper wire only, and installers may use #10 AWG solid or stranded copper wire for the ground connection. The receptacle comes with a Two-Year Limited Warranty.
