Has anybody looked at these yet? http://www.passandseymour.com/whatsnew/plugtail.html . I wonder what the long term reliablity will be, and how well that thing in the back stays in.

Our usual rocker crew will have a hay day with those! Guarranteed to have every wire, and that plug tore up, bag and plug full of mud.

Did everyone notice that in the picture the outlet is installed gound pin up?

I wonder if they'll eventually come in "audio grade"...

Sorry folks, I just couldn't resist!

Actually, it does look pretty slick.

So do you think they use 12 or 14 awg wire on the pigtail, and how would that affect the install if put on a 20 amp circ?

"Did everyone notice that in the picture the outlet is installed gound pin up?"

Yes, I noticed that it was upside down, too! It even has writing on it that's right reading when it's rightside up, and they still got it wrong.

shows a different method of connecting to outlets using insulation displacement connectors

The cut sheet says the PlugTail conductors are #12 THHN copper conductor, 6" leads, stripped, solid or stranded and rated as permanent part of the device.

It looks a little odd at first, but thinking about it further it should be all right so long as the actually connectors are tight.

It looks as though they might be a slight variation on the 1/4-inch spade terminals which are common in automotive applications. The latter stand up to high-ish currents at low voltages, with lots of movement and vibration.
