Maybe I missed it. It's the all brass contacts that people "should" be looking for in the Hubbells I suspect. T456If you are comparing the HBL5262/5362 duplex receptacle to the everyday residential grade or an average commercial spec grade receptacle there is a lot more to the Hubbell receptacle than just the brass contacts.
The surface area and thickness of the brass contacts.
The material used for the body that holds the contacts in place. The bracing and thickness of the material used. Most residential grade and many commercial spec grade receptacle bodies are made of plastic. The Hubbell uses a deep nylon design. That includes the face plate.
The metal used for the mounting back strap. Residential and most commercial spec grade receptacles the back straps are made from galvanized steel. The Hubbell is made of heavy brass.
The Hubbell is built like a tank.
