            Wiring Devices—Dimensional Specifications

            ANSI/NEMA WD 6-2021 | Status: Active | ID: 100208

            Covers the plugs, receptacles, and wall plates used in most electrical installations in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Two new configurations were added to offer increased safety for IT and datacenter applications and one configuration was modified.

            Included in the online version is a new navigation tool that allows one to go from the Table of Contents to the selection chart for each of the three main wiring devices configuration categories.
