Legrand Pass & Seymour SA993BKCC10 15-Amp 125-volt Straight Blade Connector Two Pole Three Wire, Black (1 Count)

Would be much easier to assemble wiring if it included #4 crimp style flag terminals with #6 stud size holes. But after finally measuring, striping wiring to proper size, and getting it assembled to secured into the outer housing, it works as intended.

This is a great value for converting an appliance cord, in my case from an old vacuum, into a perfect light-duty in-door, extension cord. Can’t believe the number of whining reviews. Yes, tinning the wires may help (I merely twisted the strands so they didn’t fray). If you think you'll really need instructions, then just spend a couple of more dollars, and purchase a new extension cord.With a little patience and following the helpful advice from other positive reviewers, I was able to install this plug in about 10 minutes. If you have a heavy-duty, 20amp, application which requires 16ga, or thicker wire, (remember: lower gauge # = thicker wire/more strands, higher gauge# = thinner wire), you’ll need a different and more expensive ($10+), plug.For less than $4, this light-duty plug provides an ideal fix. It works just great! I’ll try the male receptacle from Legrand-Pass & Seymour next, for a true equal opportunity experience.

Just love it

Easy to install to repair a shorted 3 prong extension cord.

I purchased this connector to make an extension cord out of an old 16/3 length of cord. It's a nice connector but requires some patience to get the outer insulation, inner insulation, and bare lengths of wire cut to the right lengths.Pros:- Inexpensive. About 3 bucks from an Amazon Warehouse deal.- The strain relief is nice. If one gets wire insulation captured into the strain relief channel properly, that channel is at such an angle that it would take considerable force to rip it out.- The terminals are color coded: Gold = hot; Silver = neutral; Green = ground.- While it doesn't come with instructions, one can get instructions from the manufacturer here: www dot legrand dot us/-/media/brands/passandseymour/resources/installation-instructions/other/ps-grounding-plug-and-connector-install-instructions-340824.ashx- The terminals are robust. They hold up to cranking down the screws very tightly.- The hole in the connector is .381 inches in diameter, so it can hold outer cord insulation at or below that size.- 14 gauge and smaller wire is no problem. 12 gauge might not fit the strain relief slots, depending on the thickness of the insulation.Cons:- There's no way I'd pay full price for this connector (10 dollars or more on Amazon): I can buy a brand new extension cord for that.- Everything is a really tight fit. That's a good thing after final assembly, but it does require patience getting all the wires and insulation cut to the correct length and installed.- Stranded wire, even if first twisted tightly, still frays out all over the place when the screw is tightened. I recommend tinning the wires if you have access to a soldering iron. That makes the job go much faster and provides a cleaner, more secure connection.- It's all plastic, and has a lightweight, hollow plastic feel to it. It doesn't have the nice feel of a rubber or rubber molded plug.Having used this plug and the  Leviton 3W102-E 2-Pole 3-Wire Grounding Cord Outlet , I prefer the Leviton plug. They're both pretty close to the same size, but the Leviton plug has more room for wire installation and has rings that compress and hold onto the outer insulation on the cord when the plug is screwed closed.

The plug on my extension cord was starting to fail as I would sometimes have to wiggle things to get the power to flow. I cut it off and replaced it with this. The unit is all lightweight plastic with a few metal bits inside for the electrical connections. I have purchased heavy duty versions of this but wanted to see what a lower cost piece would be like. It does work fine but the connections inside require creating a small hook in the braided wire to go around a screw, not the kind where you put the wire straight into a hole and the screw presses down a metal clamp on the wire, which I find easier and sturdier to assemble. The metal bits did easily come out of the plastic, which made the electrical connections easier but also made final assembly a bit more difficult as I had to hold the metal bits into their slots as the final cover was pulled into place. So still 4 of 5 stars as it seems to work and not have any safety issues, just took more fiddling to complete the swap.

Like the headline says - easy to install and very sturdy. But it does not fit into the receptacle for my leaf blower. No fault of the product, it just is too big for the receptacle.

It is typical about mid-winter to find which extension cords are damaged, so ordered these to replace old connector.I found the blade connection (with the wire) fairly straight forward and the fact that the blades can be removed to tighten the screw on the wire was a saving grace.My only negative was the hole to push the wire through on the back of the plug itself was too small for a "heavy duty" 120 volt extension cord (4/10 tenths of an inch thick) I was repairing. I had to drill the hole to make it larger and then it was successful.Otherwise, recommended

Very poor quality, not what I expected for the price. Very light plastic, not heavy duty.

I feel the product is made of material too brittle for use in cold climates

This plug was no good for braded wire. Would work well with regular copper wire.

This is a good little plug, very easy to install and is a great replacement for a damaged plug.
