A
power cable with plug is an electrical component that allows appliances to connect to an electrical utility or power supply. It consists of an insulated power cable with one or both ends molded with connectors. This type of power cord is used to connect and power appliances like computers, home audio equipment, televisions, DVD players, and more.
There are several types of power cables with plugs that are available. They are:
Four Pin Peripheral Power Cable
This type of power cable is the standard for computer peripherals like floppy drives and hard disks. It also supports supplemental motherboard power, add-on fans, case lighting, and more. It is a simple cable that dates back to the original PC and is still popular in many systems.
CEE 7/7 Power Cord
This power cord is a standard for European wall outlets. Its round shape has two rounded prongs that accept the grounding pin from a "Type F" European wall outlet. This is the same standard that is used in most countries in Europe, though some may use a different version of this power cord.
NEMA 5-15P Power Cord
This is the most common power cord used in the United States. It is commonly found in wall outlets and extension cords. It is also known as a NEMA 5 plug and the female mating outlet is called a NEMA 1-15-R.
It is important to understand how these power cords work and what they can be used for. It will help you avoid costly accidents and save your home from electrical fires.
Three 12-gauge High-Purity Copper Conductors
The power cord is made from three 12-gauge high-purity copper conductors. It is insulated with PVC and then covered with a black mesh outer jacket for extra durability. It has an over-wrapped foil shield, and is available in a variety of lengths.
There are a few ways to terminate the power cord, and you should be sure to choose the right one for your needs. The most common is with a male barrel plug, but it is possible to find power cords that have plugs pre-attached to the end of the cable, or with the plugs crimped onto the wire.
C7/C8 Power Cord
A Figure 8 connection is a common choice for older TVs and laptop power supplies. It comes in both non-polarized and polarized versions, and is typically paired with 1-15 NEMA connections. The non-polarized version uses a round connector, while the polarized one uses a flat connector.
Most power cords with C7/C8 connectors come in either standard NEMA 5-15P or NEMA 1-15P, but there are also a few special cables that come in a 1-15R version. These cables are typically found in larger devices and have a slightly wider blade than the standard version.
They are keyed differently so they will not fit the other type of cable. It is also important to check the plugs on any devices that you want to connect to these cables to make sure you get the correct ones.
A NEMA 6-30P plug power cord with a type JL-20 connector is a type of electrical cord used to provide power to appliances or other devices in North America. The "6-30" part of the code refers to the type of connector used on the plug. This type of connector has two flat parallel blades and a grounding pin, and is used for appliances and other devices that operate at a voltage of 240V and a current of 30 amps. It is commonly used for larger appliances, such as electric stoves or dryers.
The "JL-20"is a type of connector used on the other end of the cord, which is designed to be inserted into the appliance or device being powered. This type of connector is used on appliances and devices that are designed to be plugged into a standard NEMA 6-30 receptacle.
This is a standard power cord used in North America for providing power to larger appliances and devices that require a high voltage and current.
