Nickel-plated brass pins for corrosion resistance

Dielectric Strength

2.0 kV AC for 1 minute between conductors and ground

Insulation Resistance

>100 MΩ at 500V DC across conductor and sheath

Temperature Rating

-25°C to +70°C operating; peak up to +125°C

Flammability Rating

IEC 60332-1 compliant (flame retardant)

Bending Radius

Minimum 6 × outer diameter under dynamic flex

Cable Jacket Material

PVC / H05RR-F / H07RN-F / LSZH (application dependent)

Insertion/Withdrawal Endurance

>10,000 cycles tested per IEC 60884-1

VDE, CE, RoHS, REACH, EN 50525, IEC 60884-1

VDE, CE, RoHS, REACH, EN 50525, IEC 60884-1

Technical Advantages

Type F Power Cords feature dual grounding via side metal strips and socket earth contact, maintaining protective earth continuity under all insertion orientations. This design complies with CEE 7/4 and CEE 7/7 grounding standards, ensuring system-level safety. 

Type F Power Cords use Schuko plug architecture with symmetrical pin geometry and recessed socket engagement, which reduces arc exposure and mechanical wear. Contact pins are nickel-plated for corrosion resistance and consistent conductivity.

Industry Applications

Laboratory Equipment

Used to power analytical instruments requiring stable 230V AC with grounded connection for electrical noise suppression and personnel safety compliance. 

Medical Devices

Supports diagnostic and monitoring systems operating under IEC 60601, ensuring grounding continuity and minimizing leakage current in clinical environments. 

Industrial Automation Panels

Powers PLCs, HMIs, and motor controllers with 16A-rated connectors, maintaining electrical reliability under continuous duty and thermal loading. 

Commercial Refrigeration Units

Provides high-current delivery to compressors and fans in freezers and chillers, ensuring proper grounding and thermal insulation in humid environments. 

Broadcasting Systems

Connects audio-video processing hardware in EMI-sensitive environments using shielded variants for reduced electromagnetic interference and signal integrity maintenance. 

3D Printers and CNC Machines

Delivers consistent current to heating elements and motor drivers under cyclic temperature loading, avoiding conductor fatigue or connector deformation. 

 

Type F Power Cords

Strain Relief and Cable Retention

Type F Power Cords incorporate molded strain relief that maintains conductor integrity under repeated bending and torsional stress. Strain relief dimensions are optimized to prevent cable slippage and conductor fatigue in dynamic use environments. 

Type F Power Cords utilize multi-stranded Class 5 copper conductors with high conductivity and low resistive loss. This construction supports efficient current delivery, reduced power loss, and minimal heat generation over extended cable runs.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure conductor integrity in Type F Power Cords under mechanical stress and flexing?

Frigate uses Class 5 fine-stranded copper conductors to maintain flexibility and reduce fatigue under bending. Each cord includes molded strain relief tested under cyclic bending loads. This prevents insulation cracks and copper breakage during dynamic use. The cords are compliant with IEC 60228 and verified through flexing endurance tests. 

What insulation materials does Frigate use in Type F Power Cords for high-heat environments?

Frigate manufactures Type F Power Cords with PVC, H05RR-F, or H07RN-F rubber insulation based on the required thermal profile. For applications with sustained temperatures up to 90°C, H07RN-F is preferred due to its thermal and oil resistance. All materials are flame-retardant and compliant with IEC 60332. The insulation maintains dielectric strength even under prolonged load conditions. 

How does Frigate address EMI concerns in Type F Power Cords for sensitive electronic equipment?

Frigate offers shielded Type F Power Cords using foil or braided copper shielding under the outer jacket. These reduce conducted and radiated emissions in equipment like broadcast and test devices. The shield is grounded through the plug’s earth connection to maintain shielding continuity. Shielding effectiveness is tested per CISPR 11 and EN 55011. 

How are Frigate’s Type F Power Cords tested for insertion durability in industrial applications?

Frigate performs mechanical insertion cycle tests simulating >10,000 mating/unmating operations on each plug model. Contact resistance and retention force are checked after every 1,000 cycles. This ensures consistent electrical contact and mechanical integrity over time. Plug pins are nickel-plated to resist oxidation during repeated use. 

 

What certification processes does Frigate follow for international use of Type F Power Cords?

Frigate certifies Type F Power Cords under VDE, CE, RoHS, and REACH standards for EU compliance. Each cord undergoes high-voltage testing, insulation resistance checks, and grounding continuity verification. Certificates include traceable batch numbers and full technical documentation. This supports customs clearance and use in regulated industrial sectors.
