-15°C to +105°C

Dielectric Withstand Voltage

≥ 2000V AC for 1 minute

Contact Resistance

≤ 0.05 ohms (at mating interface)

Plug Pin Material

Solid brass with nickel or tin plating

Ground Continuity Resistance

≤ 0.1 ohms

Insertion/Withdrawal Force

30N–75N (per AS/NZS 3112 specifications)

Flexing Endurance

≥ 25,000 cycles at 60° bend (IEC 60884 test)

Leakage Current

≤ 0.25 mA (for medical/laboratory-grade cords)

Flammability Rating

UL 94 V-0 or IEC 60332-1 compliant jacket

Typically 7.5mm–9.5mm (varies with conductor size)

Typically 7.5mm–9.5mm (varies with conductor size)

Technical Advantages

Type I Power Cords are equipped with a flat three-pin plug molded to specification, with pin materials compliant to AS/NZS conductivity and corrosion standards. Connectors are rated for repeated mating cycles without mechanical deformation or contact loss. 

Type I Power Cords use thermoplastic or rubberized compounds meeting V-0 flammability and RoHS/REACH directives. Outer jackets maintain dielectric integrity under mechanical strain, moisture ingress, and thermal cycling conditions up to 105°C.

Industry Applications

Data Centers

Type I Power Cords deliver regulated 250V AC to rack-mounted servers and network switches using IEC 60320 C13 or C19 connectors. 

Telecommunications

Used for powering telecom base stations and signal processing units where AS/NZS 3112-compliant connections are mandatory for equipment certification.

Laboratory Equipment

Connects Type I plugs to analytical instruments requiring stable grounding, high dielectric strength, and thermal-resistant cable sheathing. 

HVAC Systems

Supplies AC power to air handling units and condensers, supporting long-term vibration exposure and mechanical flex without conductor fatigue. 

Medical Electronics

Type I Power Cords interface with compliant medical-grade IEC inlets, meeting leakage current limits under IEC 60601-1 standards. 

Industrial Automation

Provides secure power to control cabinets, PLCs, and servo drives in compliance with local safety and electrical code requirements. 

 

Type I Power Cords

Strain Relief Engineering

Type I Power Cords incorporate overmolded strain reliefs with extended flex-life tested to IEC 60227 standards. These designs prevent conductor fatigue and insulation shear at termination points under repetitive motion or tension load. 

Device-end options on Type I Power Cords include IEC 60320 C13, C15, C19, or custom terminations. These configurations enable direct interface with power supplies, servers, HVAC panels, and laboratory equipment without intermediate adapters.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

Does Frigate manufacture Type I Power Cords with high-temperature insulation for industrial use?

Yes, Frigate offers Type I Power Cords with insulation rated up to 105°C. These cords are ideal for environments with continuous thermal stress, such as industrial ovens or control cabinets. The materials used meet IEC 60227 and AS/NZS thermal aging standards. This ensures long-term electrical and mechanical stability under heat. 

 

Can Frigate provide Type I Power Cords with custom IEC connectors for different devices?

Frigate supports custom builds with IEC C13, C15, C19, and other device-end terminations. Each connector is molded and tested for dimensional accuracy and electrical contact reliability. This flexibility helps meet equipment-specific inlet designs without the need for adaptors. All configurations maintain full compliance with IEC 60320 and AS/NZS 3112. 

How does Frigate ensure mechanical durability of Type I Power Cords under repeated flexing?

Frigate tests strain reliefs on Type I Power Cords to over 25,000 bend cycles. This testing follows IEC 60884 and verifies flex-life at the plug-to-cable interface. High-strand copper and flexible jacket compounds prevent internal breakage. This makes the cords suitable for moving equipment or serviceable installations. 

 

Are Frigate’s Type I Power Cords compliant with safety standards for use in Australian and Chinese markets?

Yes, Frigate’s Type I Power Cords are fully compliant with AS/NZS 3112 and GB2099. Each batch is tested for continuity, insulation resistance, and high-voltage dielectric strength. Certification markings such as SAA and CCC are applied after inspection. Compliance ensures legal and safe use across both regions. 

 

Does Frigate offer outdoor-rated Type I Power Cords for moisture-prone environments?

Frigate provides Type I Power Cords with UV-resistant jackets and IP-rated enclosures for damp or outdoor applications. These cords resist environmental degradation like insulation cracking and water ingress. Materials are tested for resistance to ozone, sunlight, and thermal cycling. This makes them reliable for outdoor panels and equipment sheds.
