Locking Power Cords

Name: Secure Retention Locking Power Cords | Twist Lock Power Cables - Frigate
Price: 249.00 USD
Availability: InStock

Locking Power Cords is designed with secure retention mechanisms that exceed 30N of pull-out resistance, ensuring stable electrical connection in environments with sustained vibration profiles, such as industrial enclosures or mobile server racks. The cord maintains IEC 60320-1 and UL 60320-1 mating integrity through positive locking features integrated into C13/C14 and C19/C20 assemblies, preventing micro-separation that leads to arcing or transient shutdown.

Connector Retention Force

≥ 30N (IEC C13/C19 with locking mechanism)

Contact Resistance

≤ 10 milliohms (after 10,000 mating cycles)

Dielectric Withstand Voltage

≥ 2,000V RMS for 1 minute (per UL 817, IEC 60320)

Operating Voltage

250V AC (IEC 60320-1 standard)

Rated Current

10A, 13A, or 16A (depending on plug configuration)

Product Description

Locking Power Cord nutzt low-resistance, high-conductivity contacts made from nickel-plated copper alloys capable of handling high inrush currents without thermal deformation. Termination systems pflegen sub-10 milliohm contact resistance under full load (up to 16A at 250V AC), reducing power losses and eliminating contact chatter during startup surges in power-critical environments such as blade servers and CNC control units.

Insulation Material

PVC or TPE rated 105°C, flame retardant VW-1 compliant

Housing Material

PA66, Glass-Filled 30%, UL94 V-0 rated

Cable Jacket Type

SJT, SJTO, or H05VV-F (Region-specific compliance)

Pull-Out Resistance Test

Passes 25 kg axial strain test per UL 817

Insertion/Withdrawal Cycle Durability

≥ 10,000 cycles without loss of retention or conductivity

Contact Plating

Nickel-plated brass or phosphor bronze, ≥ 3µm thickness

Flame Test Compliance

VW-1, FT2, or IEC 60332-1 compliant insulation

Environmental Temperature Range

-20°C to +105°C operating range

EMI/RFI Shielding Option

Optional braided copper shield with 85% minimum coverage

UL, CSA, VDE, PSE, RoHS, REACH, IEC 60320, ENEC

Technical Advantages

Locking Power Cord enables denser cable deployment by eliminating the need for redundant cable retention clips or external fasteners. The plug-to-inlet locking design maintains axial alignment and consistent insertion depth, minimizing contact wear and thermal interface variability. This promotes uniform current distribution in data center PDUs and high-density equipment racks operating at 60–75% continuous load capacity.

Locking Power Cord features reinforced PA66 glass-filled housing with strain relief molded to exceed 25kg axial pull tests. This structure maintains dimensional stability and dielectric strength above 2,000V RMS after repeated coupling cycles (>10,000 insertions), making it suitable for equipment requiring frequent reconnections, including field-serviceable instruments and lab-grade power analyzers.

Industry Applications

Data Centers

Prevents unintentional disconnections in high-density PDUs; supports 250V/16A loads under continuous uptime conditions with secure IEC locking interfaces.

Medical Equipment

Maintains stable power in mobile diagnostic carts and imaging systems; resists connector creep during equipment repositioning and field servicing.

Telecom Infrastructure

Secures AC input in remote base station enclosures; withstands high vibration and temperature fluctuations in outdoor communication installations.

Industrial Automation Panels

Provides fixed connection in control cabinets exposed to high EMI and motion; supports shielded cable configurations with locking terminations.

Broadcast and AV Systems

Ensures uninterrupted signal chain by locking power connectors in field-deployed broadcast racks and mobile studio environments with frequent relocation.

Laboratory Instruments

Delivers stable voltage to precision analyzers und spectrometers; prevents voltage dips caused by accidental cord displacement during calibration procedures.

Prevents Cable Creep in Mobile Powered Assemblies

Locking Power Cord uses twist-lock or detent mechanisms to maintain mechanical restraint in dynamic assemblies subjected to translational motion or angular stress. The locking interface remains secured under load displacement, ensuring no loss of terminal pressure or insulation failure during operation of mobile diagnostic carts, robotic arms, or transport racks in logistics systems.

Locking Power Cord conforms to regional and international safety certifications including UL 817, CSA C22.2 No. 21, IEC 60320, ENEC, and PSE. Conductor insulation is rated for 105°C continuous operation, with flame-retardant materials tested under VW-1 and FT2 standards. This guarantees safe deployment across cross-border manufacturing setups, reducing supplier qualification cycles for global OEMs.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure consistent contact resistance in Locking Power Cords over long-term use?

Fregatte uses nickel-plated copper alloy contacts with spring force optimized for less than 10 milliohm contact resistance. The locking mechanism prevents micro-movements that cause resistance increase over time. All units are tested under IEC 60512 mechanical endurance protocols. This ensures stable conductivity even after 10,000 insertion cycles.

What mechanical locking methods are used by Frigate for high-retention performance?

Fregatte Netzkabel employ integrated latch or twist-lock designs with retention force above 30 Newtons. These locks pflegen constant terminal pressure in high-vibration or movement-intensive environments. Retention is verified through pull testing per UL 817 and IEC 60320 standards. This eliminates the need for external cable clamps.

How does Frigate prevent dielectric breakdown in high-voltage applications?

Frigate uses insulation systems rated to withstand 2,000V RMS dielectric strength, even in compact connector profiles. Materials like PA66 GF30 and TPE are selected for high tracking index and thermal stability. Each cable undergoes hipot testing before shipment. This ensures compliance with UL, CSA, and VDE insulation standards.

Can Frigate Locking Power Cords be used in systems with thermal cycling?

Yes, Frigate designs cables with thermal-rated contacts and insulation stable up to 105°C. Materials resist expansion/contraction-induced micro gaps at the terminal interface. Locking features pflegen constant insertion depth under thermal load. This makes them ideal for servers, automation, and telecom systems experiencing frequent temperature variation.

What cable configurations does Frigate offer for Locking Power Cords in custom builds?

Frigate provides C13/C14, C19/C20, and custom molded connectors with locking features for various voltage and current ratings. Options include shielded cables, color-coded jackets, and high-flex conductors. All assemblies are manufactured with controlled impedance and EMI containment in mind. Custom lengths, plug orientations, and locking types are available on request.
