What is a 5 20R NEMA receptacle?
A 5-20R is a straight blade, 125 volt, 20 amp, receptacle or outlet. In the case of the equipment in our problem, we would need a NEMA 6-15 configuration.
What NEMA is a standard outlet?
NEMA 1-15P (two-pole, no ground) and NEMA 5-15P (two-pole with ground pin) plugs are used on common domestic electrical equipment, and NEMA 5-15R is the standard 15-ampere electric receptacle (outlet) found in the United States, and under relevant national standards, in Canada (CSA C22.
Will a 6 15P plug into a 6 20R?
The fact that your NEMA 6-15 plug physically fits in a NEMA 6-20R receptacle tells me it is a supported configuration. Note how a NEMA 6-20 plug will not physically fit in a NEMA 6-15R receptacle. The outlet is not the fuse or the breaker, so as long as everything is rated it’ll be fine.
Will a 6 15P plug into a 6-20R?
What does a 5 15P plug look like?
The NEMA 5-15P is a 3 Wire grounded plug featuring two blades (can be equal or unequal widths due to the ground pin forcing polarity) and one ground pin rated up to 125V AC and 15 Amps. The ground pin can be either a rounded shape or a U Shape depending on the manufacturer, but both are functionally the same.
What kind of outlet is a NEMA 5-20R receptacle?

How do you access a NEMA ground receptacle?
Access the wire connection by opening the hinged housing. These connectors have screw terminals to create a secure connection; wire must be stripped before winding around the screw terminal. Protect computers and other sensitive equipment from electromagnetic interference (EMI). Also known as isolated ground receptacles.
Why do you need a NEMA receptacle for a McMaster Carr?
Minimize the risk of electric shock and electrical fires with a single receptacle. Receptacles protect sensitive equipment from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and spikes in voltage. Prevent damage to electronic equipment caused by spikes in voltage. When mated, connectors meet NEMA 6P, NEMA 12, and either IP67 or IP69K.
What kind of rating do NEMA connectors have?
When mated, connectors meet NEMA 6P, NEMA 12, and either IP67 or IP69K. Rated NEMA 6P and 13, IP66, and IP69K when mated, connectors withstand oil/coolant spraying, high- pressure, high-temperature washdowns, and are corrosion resistant so they can be used in marine environments.
