174207 - Miller Duplex Receptacle 15A 125V NEMA 5-15R

Miller Electric Duplex Receptacle Overview

The Miller Electric Duplex Receptacle is a critical electrical component designed for use as an auxiliary power outlet on compatible welding power sources and generators. This unit is engineered to meet specific electrical standards, ensuring safe and reliable power delivery for external tools and accessories. It features a standard NEMA 5-15R configuration, which is the most common electrical interface for 120V equipment in North America.

Technically, this receptacle is rated for 15 Amperes at 125 Volts. It utilizes a 2-Pole, 3-Wire (2P3W) grounding configuration, which is essential for operator safety in industrial environments. The grounding pin ensures that any fault current is safely directed to the ground, reducing the risk of electrical shock. The "Straight Duplex" (STR DX) design indicates that it accepts straight-blade plugs and offers two outlets in a single gang footprint, maximizing the utility of the available panel space on the machine.

As a genuine OEM part, this receptacle is manufactured to Miller's strict quality specifications. It is designed to withstand the vibration, thermal cycling, and environmental conditions often encountered in welding workshops and field sites. Replacing a damaged or worn receptacle with this authentic component ensures proper fitment within the machine's chassis and maintains the integrity of the welder's electrical system. Proper installation is required to ensure continuity of the grounding path and adherence to electrical codes.
