Type A NEMA Power Cords

Name: Shielded Type A NEMA Power Cords | NEMA 1-15P Power Cable - Frigate
Price: 249.00 USD
Availability: InStock

Type A NEMA Power Cords conform to the NEMA 1-15P specification with two flat parallel blades, supporting 125V AC operation at 10A or 15A. Blade dimensions follow ANSI/NEMA WD-6 tolerances to ensure proper insertion force and secure retention within NEMA Type A receptacles. Polarized and non-polarized variants pflegen compatibility with legacy and modern U.S. and Japanese power interfaces, eliminating mismatched plug concerns in cross-border installations.

Product Description

Type A NEMA Power Cords use multi-stranded Class B bare copper conductors with nominal resistance below 10.4 ohm/km, ensuring minimal voltage drop under rated load. Conductor insulation is PVC thermoplastic rated for 105°C continuous operation with 300V dielectric withstand. Dielectric thickness and conductor spacing comply with UL 62 and CSA C22.2 standards, providing insulation integrity against transient overvoltage and thermal stress.

Insulation Type

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), 105°C, UL 62 compliant

Dielectric Strength

≥2000V AC for 1 minute between conductors

Jacket Material

PVC or TPE, VW-1 Flame Test Rated

Maximum Flex Cycles

≥10,000 cycles at 90° bend angle, 1 kg weight load

Plug Blade Material

Nickel-plated brass, per NEMA WD-6 mechanical tolerances

Terminal Pull Strength

≥30N per UL 486A test method

Certification Standards

UL 817, CSA C22.2 No. 21, RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU

Ambient Temperature Range

-20°C to +60°C operating, up to 105°C insulation rating

±1% or ±10 mm (whichever is greater), measured tip-to-tip

Technical Advantages

Type A NEMA Power Cords feature jackets extruded from high-durability PVC or thermoplastic elastomer with VW-1 flame resistance and 60°C or 105°C temperature ratings. Jacket diameter is maintained within ±0.2 mm to support consistent bend radius and minimize fatigue in repeated flex cycles. Cable geometry remains stable during torsion, protecting inner conductor alignment in dynamic-use applications such as movable instruments or embedded systems.

Type A NEMA Power Cords are lab-tested to exceed 10,000 bending cycles at a 90° flex angle, with tensile strength of molded terminations maintained above 100N. Strain relief systems at the plug end are molded with controlled durometer TPE to suppress conductor migration during repeated mechanical loading. Cordsets maintain jacket integrity under 50N elongation, ensuring dimensional and electrical stability during equipment repositioning.

Industry Applications

Consumer Electronics

Used in Class II ungrounded devices such as televisions, radios, and audio systems requiring 125V AC at 10A input.

Medical Diagnostic Equipment

Powers low-current devices like digital thermometers, portable monitors, and analyzers in non-patient-contact areas within regulated voltage limits.

Test and Measurement Instruments

Supports oscilloscopes, signal generators, and multimeters that require stable low-current AC input through NEMA 1-15P interface.

Laboratory Equipment

Connects centrifuges, mixers, and benchtop devices rated below 1.5 kW operating on 2-conductor, ungrounded power configurations.

Office Automation Systems

Supplies power to printers, scanners, and low-power copiers using standardized Type A plug and IEC C7 or C5 termination.

Networking and Telecom Devices

Used with external power adapters for routers, modems, and switches rated under 125V, especially in rack-mount applications.

Termination and Interface Options

Type A NEMA Power Cords are available with IEC 60320 connectors (C7, C5, C13), unterminated stripped/tinned wire ends, or ring/spade terminals for direct termination to internal power blocks. Pin-crimp terminations use semi-automated press-fit tooling with pull-force tested to >30N to ensure contact stability under vibration and thermal expansion. Conductors are color-coded per UL and international harmonized standards to minimize assembly error risk.

Type A NEMA Power Cords are capable of sustaining full rated current at 40°C ambient temperature without exceeding a 30°C rise in conductor temperature. Voltage drop remains within 2.5% across maximum length configurations due to low-resistance copper cores and optimized strand lay. Dielectric strength between conductors and ground insulation exceeds 2000V AC, preventing insulation breakdown under fault or surge conditions.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

Does Frigate offer Type A NEMA Power Cords with custom overmolded strain reliefs for high flex applications?

Frigate manufactures Type A NEMA Power Cords with precision-molded strain reliefs rated for over 10,000 flex cycles at 90° bending. The overmolding uses thermoplastic elastomers with Shore A hardness between 75 and 85 for optimale cable retention and bend resistance. Custom geometries can be tool-fabricated based on end-application housing clearance. These cords are suitable for dynamic environments such as portable medical or kiosk equipment.

What insulation materials does Frigate use for Type A NEMA Power Cords in high ambient temperature environments?

Frigate uses PVC insulation rated for 105°C and 300V for standard applications, compliant with UL 62 and CSA C22.2. For extended thermal performance, TPE or thermoset jackets can be used based on customer specifications. These materials maintain dielectric integrity and resist softening or flow under thermal load. The insulation system passes flame resistance per VW-1 vertical flame test.

Can Frigate supply Type A NEMA Power Cords with integrated EMI/RFI suppression components?

Yes, Frigate offers Type A NEMA Power Cords with integrated ferrite cores or external inline filters upon request. These are particularly useful in environments with strict electromagnetic compliance (EMC) requirements, such as test labs or sensitive instrumentation. Ferrites are selected based on impedance curves for common-mode noise in the 1–100 MHz range. All assemblies undergo continuity and leakage testing before shipment.

How does Frigate ensure conductor crimp integrity in mass-produced Type A NEMA Power Cords?

Fregatte uses semi-automatic crimping machines with force-monitoring sensors to maintain uniform crimp height and width. Each crimped terminal is pull-tested per UL 486A standards to exceed 30N retention force. Inspection protocols include visual and microsection analysis for batch verification. This ensures consistent electrical contact and long-term performance under mechanical and thermal cycles.

Are Frigate’s Type A NEMA Power Cords traceable to individual production batches?

Frigate marks each Type A NEMA Power Cord with a lot code and date code printed on the jacket during extrusion. This traceability links back to raw material certificates, tooling records, and in-process inspection data. Cordsets are serialized in the quality system for up to 5 years. This supports root cause analysis and compliance documentation in regulated industries.
