As for a heavy duty Spec Grade or Hospital Grade Hubbell, they are built like a tank when compared to a Commercial Grade AC plug. True Audio Grade AC outlets include a more rigid plastic body and face that sometimes involves a fiber-reinforced polymer and dielectric dissipation materials which contributes to better electrical, rigidity and resonance control; heavy duty, larger mass conductive contacts that contribute to better conductivity and resonance control; a high-mass solid brass backstrap for greater rigidity and resonance control. A true Audio Grade AC outlet must perform a big step further than ordinary AC outlets.
Apples and oranges. I never said the Hubbell HBL5362 Extra Heavy Duty Industrial Series duplex receptacle was an Hi-end audio grade outlet.
As for an audio grade duplex receptacle's durability under pressure compared to the HBL5362 it would be interesting to install one in an industrial plant and see how it holds up to the everyday abuse it would be subjected to. It would be interesting to see how the male plug blade to female contact holding pressure of the receptacle holds up after just a few years of service, let alone 40 years. Plugging a plug straight in and pulling it straight out is one thing. Applying excessive side to side pressure to the female contacts of a receptacle is quite another.
Best regards,
Jim
