Type D Power Cords

Name: Triangular Type D Power Cords | Round pin plug power cable - Frigate
Price: 249.00 USD
Availability: InStock

Type D Power Cords employ rigid, high-tolerance brass pins with a diameter and spacing conforming strictly to BS 546 standards. These pins ensure stable contact pressure within legacy socket interfaces, significantly reducing contact resistance and minimizing transient voltage drops under continuous 5A load conditions. The pin plating, typically nickel or tin, enhances surface conductivity and prevents oxidation, maintaining low insertion force and reliable electrical continuity over prolonged operational cycles.

Rated Voltage

220–240 V AC

Rated Current

5 A

Conductor Material

High-purity electrolytic copper, stranded

Conductor Cross-Section

0.75 mm² to 1.5 mm² (as per IEC 60227 / IS 694 standards)

Insulation Material

PVC or Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) with thermal stability

Product Description

The conductor configuration within Type D Power Cords consists of finely stranded copper wires optimized for low electrical resistance and minimal joule heating during extended current flow. Conductors are sized according to IEC 60227 or IS 694, typically ranging between 0.75 mm² to 1.5 mm², ensuring thermal stability at rated current. The cable insulation system, either PVC or thermoplastic elastomer, supports continuous operation at elevated temperatures up to 90°C without degradation, thereby preserving dielectric integrity and mechanical flexibility.

Operating Temperature Range

-10°C to +90°C continuous

Dielectric Withstand Voltage

≥ 2000 V AC for 1 minute between conductors and earth

Insulation Resistance

> 100 MΩ at 500 V DC

Pin Material

Brass with nickel or tin plating

Pin Dimensions

Diameter: 6.35 mm (±0.05 mm), Length: 19 mm (±0.2 mm), per BS 546 standards

Contact Resistance

≤ 10 milliohms

Strain Relief Endurance

> 50,000 bending cycles (IEC 60884-1 standard)

Flame Retardancy

UL94 V-0 rated (optional for enhanced safety)

Cable Jacket Thickness

≥ 1.2 mm (varies by insulation type)

Foil or braid shielding for EMI/RFI reduction (if specified)

Technical Advantages

Type D Power Cords feature molded strain relief components designed to withstand repeated flexural stress and torsional forces commonly encountered in industrial and retrofit installations. The boot and plug assembly use high-impact thermoplastics with superior abrasion resistance and fatigue endurance, conforming to IEC 60884-1 mechanical standards. This engineering reduces conductor fatigue failures near termination points, a frequent failure mode in power cords exposed to mechanical cycling.

Electrical Performance Validation and Testing Protocols

Each Type D Power Cords undergoes stringent electrical testing, including insulation resistance measurements exceeding 100 MΩ at 500 V DC, continuity checks, and polarity verification to ensure correct phase and earth alignment. High-pot testing at voltages above operational levels confirms dielectric integrity, while current cycling tests simulate load conditions to verify conductor and connector endurance. These protocols ensure consistent quality and operational safety across production batches.

Type D Power Cords can be custom-engineered with varied cable lengths, insulation compounds, and conductor gauges tailored to specific application demands. Full batch traceability is maintained through serialized manufacturing records, supporting compliance with RoHS, REACH, and CE directives. Custom configurations may include halogen-free insulation for low smoke toxicity environments or enhanced shielding for EMI reduction, fulfilling precise technical and regulatory requirements.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure the electrical safety of Type D Power Cords in high-humidity environments?

Frigate manufactures Type D Power Cords using PVC and TPE insulation compounds specifically tested for moisture resistance. The insulation maintains dielectric strength even in 90% relative humidity conditions, preventing leakage currents. All cords undergo insulation resistance testing above 100 MΩ at 500V DC before shipment. This ensures safe and reliable operation in humid industrial and tropical environments.

What testing protocols does Frigate follow to verify the mechanical durability of Type D Power Cords?

Frigate subjects Type D Power Cords to IEC 60884-1 mechanical fatigue testing, including over 50,000 bend cycles on the strain relief area. The plugs and molded boots are tested for impact resistance to simulate field handling stresses. Conductor continuity and insulation integrity are verified after testing to ensure no degradation. These tests guarantee long-term durability in demanding applications.

How does Frigate manage conductor resistance to minimize voltage drop in Type D Power Cords?

Frigate selects high-purity copper conductors with controlled stranding to maintain low DC resistance, typically below 25 mΩ per meter for 1.0 mm² conductors. The conductor sizing aligns with IEC 60227 and IS 694 standards for 5A rated cords. This reduces I²R losses, ensuring voltage at the equipment end remains within operational limits. Consistent conductor quality is ensured through batch-wise resistance testing.

What standards and certifications do Frigate Type D Power Cords comply with for international markets?

Frigate Type D Power Cords meet BS 546 dimensional and electrical requirements and comply with IEC 60320 insulation and safety standards. The cords carry RoHS and REACH certifications to meet environmental compl

How does Frigate customize Type D Power Cords for specific industrial applications?

Fregatte offers tailored conductor gauges, cable lengths, and insulation materials based on customer requirements and application environment. Options include halogen-free and low-smoke insulation for use in confined or critical spaces. Customized plug molding with color coding or enhanced strain relief is also provided. Each custom solution undergoes full electrical and mechanical testing to pflegen quality standards.
