Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about NEMA NEMA 5-50R cords and connectors
The NEMA 5-50R is a NEMA connector rated 50 A at 125 V, 2-pole, 3-wire (grounded), for single-phase circuits. It uses the standard NEMA non-locking straight-blade configuration. The trailing R identifies it as a female receptacle; it pairs only with the matching NEMA 5-50P.
The 50 A 125 V NEMA 5-50R is typically used for general household and commercial power in North America, including computers, monitors, appliances, power tools and office equipment. Selecting the correct 50 A 125 V connector ensures the contacts and cable can carry the load without overheating and that the single-phase supply is connected with the proper grounding and polarity.
The NEMA 5-50R is the female receptacle (socket-outlet or cord connector) and accepts only the matching NEMA 5-50P male plug. It is rated 50 A at 125 V in a 2-pole, 3-wire (grounded) configuration, and it supplies power to the connected cord or equipment only when the correctly keyed 50 A plug is inserted.
No. NEMA connectors are keyed by voltage, current, phase and grounding, so the NEMA 5-50R mates only within its own 50 A 125 V family. 5-series connectors are 125 V only and must never be forced into 250 V 6-series or higher-voltage connectors; the different blade layouts prevent cross-voltage mating. When two configurations must be joined, use a properly rated, UL-listed adapter or cord set, and never exceed the lowest current rating in the chain.
Yes.
