FEATURES
• ArrowLink modular plug and connector provide
high quality circuit connections and incorporate a
first make/last break grounding design.
• Wire leads are crimped and resistance welded
to plug and connector terminals for maximum
durability.
• Audible “click” when mating plug and connector
indicates proper assembly during final device
installation.
• Pre-wired plugs provide 100% inspected and
consistent torque settings for reliable connections
to base devices.
• Connectors shipped with re-usable protective
covering that allows circuit testing while
protecting the connection from foreign matter.
• Exclusive screw terminal guards provide a
protective barrier from conductive surfaces.
• Hospital Grade models UL Listed, fully compliant
with all latest UL943 (4th edition) Class A GFCI and
UL498 Hospital Grade requirements.
• Tamper Resistant models comply with 2008
NEC® Article 406.11 requiring all dwelling
unit receptacles to be tamper resistant.
• ShockSentry™ lock-out function prevents miswired
line-load connections and GFCI circuitry damage.
• Large visual indicator light provides quick visual
reference of a tripped or “end of life” condition.
• 20A feed through rating.
• Longer, wider “bridged” strap provides 40% more
contact area with wallboard, virtually eliminating
floating installations.
• Matching standard size thermoplastic wallplate
included.

Application
GFCI receptacles are designed with the safety of the user in mind. In commercial and industrial areas like public bathrooms, breakrooms
and food service areas, the NEC® requires GFCI receptacles. Arrow Hart ArrowLink GFCI receptacles are UL Listed and fully compliant with
all of the latest UL943 (4th Edition) Class A GFCI and UL498 requirements. Additionally, ArrowLink GFCIs incorporate our ShockSentry™
lock-out function to protect against mis-wired line-load connections and GFCI circuitry damage. Safety barriers provide insulation from
conductive surfaces. Patent-pending modular plug and connector provide consistent high quality circuit connections and reduce overall
installation time on the job.
