Tool-Free Terminations Brought to you by Legrand

June 1, 2026

The PowerHold™ receptacle device maximizes contractor productivity, reduces errors, and enhances profitability while delivering faster, more reliable results. With fast terminations, superior wiring retention and color-coded levers that ensure accurate connections, this standard receptacle makes the installation process quick, easy, and safe. Unlike traditional receptacles that require multiple tools and longer termination times, PowerHold allows for rapid terminations in 10 seconds or less.  Best suited for MDU, hospitality, prefab, and commercial applications.

The PowerHold receptacle introduces several innovative design elements that distinguish it from conventional wiring devices:

Fast Terminations.

With terminations in 10 seconds or less, PowerHold  significantly boosts your productivity, enabling you to take on more projects and complete them ahead of schedule.

Easy Wiring.

PowerHold makes the wiring process easier and safer with no exposed live components. Easily-accessed break-off tab on both hot and neutral side for fast and easy split-circuit wiring.

Superior Wire Retention.

With a retention force greater than 30 lbs, PowerHold’s custom wire retainer geometry ensures consistent, reliable connections that are twice as strong as the competition.

Sleek, Space-Saving Design.

Shallower than competitors, PowerHold offers a streamlined design without compromising on performance.

Error-Free Installation.

Color-coded levers (white/neutral, black/hot, green/ground) reduce the risk of miswiring, while an audible snap confirms the lever is securely closed.

Tamper-Resistant.

Dual mechanical shutter system to help prevent insertion of foreign objects.

Built for Tomorrow.

Dependable connections that stay secure during use, yet are easily changeable for future updates or renovations.

Perfect for a Variety of Applications.

Ideal for light commercial, hospitality, commercial office, multi-dwelling units, prefabrication and residential applications.
