Technical Advantages

Type C Europlug Power Cords maintain a maximum thickness of 13.5 mm at the plug head, making them suitable for flush-mounted or recessed sockets. This profile allows for tight clearance integration in wall-mounted appliances, flat-back installations, or rack-based systems with rear power entry points. 

With current capacity up to 2.5 A at 250 V AC, Type C Europlug Power Cords are tailored for low-power, continuous-load environments. Their conductor sizing and thermal behavior meet IEC 60227-5 standards, providing stability under sustained load conditions in devices such as routers, power adapters, or control panels.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure dimensional accuracy of pin geometry in Type C Europlug Power Cords?

Frigate uses precision tooling with CNC-machined molds to maintain pin diameter tolerance within ±0.05 mm. This prevents socket deformation and ensures consistent contact force across production batches. Each lot undergoes optical inspection for pin alignment and center spacing accuracy. This guarantees proper mating across all EN 50075-compliant receptacles. 

What material specifications does Frigate use for insulation in Type C Europlug Power Cords?

Frigate uses PVC insulation compounds compliant with IEC 60227-5, offering dielectric strength ≥1.5 kV AC for 1 minute. The material has a thermal class of 70°C and passes flame retardancy tests per IEC 60332-1. Volume resistivity exceeds 10¹³ ohm-cm, preventing leakage in humid conditions. This ensures long-term electrical safety and thermal stability. 

How does Frigate test the flex life of Type C Europlug Power Cords?

Frigate performs dynamic bending tests with a 180° flex angle and 50 mm radius at 30 cycles/min. Cords must withstand 10,000 cycles without insulation cracks or conductor breakage. Resistance change is monitored and must not exceed 10% of baseline. This testing validates performance in portable and high-movement applications. 

What contact resistance values are maintained by Frigate’s Type C Europlug Power Cords?

Frigate targets contact resistance below 100 milliohms under rated load conditions. Measurements are taken after 500 mating cycles to ensure wear tolerance. Electroplated pin surfaces prevent oxidation and preserve conductivity. This supports stable power delivery for low-voltage sensitive devices. 

How does Frigate ensure compliance of Type C Europlug Power Cords for EU market certification?

Frigate manufactures Type C cords in accordance with CE marking directives and harmonized standards like EN 50525 and EN 60320. RoHS-compliant materials are verified via third-party lab testing. Each cord undergoes 100% hi-pot testing to ensure no insulation breakdown at 1.5 kV. All documentation is maintained for full traceability and audit readiness.
