Laser-etched batch ID, production date, and compliance code

Laser-etched batch ID, production date, and compliance code

Technical Advantages

Type L Power Cords are tested for conformity with CEI 23-50 and IEC 60884-1 electrical and mechanical safety standards. High-voltage dielectric testing at 2,000 V AC is conducted on every unit, with plug geometry tolerances maintained to ensure full compatibility with standardized Italian and Chilean sockets. 

Type L Power Cords offer insulation resistance exceeding 100 MΩ at 500 V DC, preventing leakage currents in sensitive systems. These cords are suitable for use in environments requiring stable reference grounding, such as laboratory instrumentation, control loops, and shielded diagnostic devices.

Type L Power Cords

Traceability for Quality Assurance Workflows

Each Type L Power Cord is permanently marked with batch code, manufacturing date, and compliance identifier using laser or inkjet serialization. This allows traceability during incoming inspection, audit preparation, and product recalls in high-compliance sectors such as healthcare and aerospace electronics. 

Type L Power Cords are manufactured with shielded grounding conductors where required, offering enhanced EMI immunity. These cords support noise-sensitive applications by minimizing inductive and capacitive coupling, especially in installations adjacent to power converters or high-frequency systems.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure dimensional consistency in Type L Power Cord connectors across high-volume production?

Frigate uses CNC-machined molds and automated pin alignment systems to maintain tight dimensional tolerances during molding and assembly. Plug geometry is validated using optical comparators against CEI 23-50 standards. Each production batch undergoes gauge verification for pin spacing, insertion depth, and housing alignment. This process ensures reliable mating with standardized Italian and Chilean socket outlets. 

What electrical testing protocols does Frigate follow for Type L Power Cords before shipment?

Frigate performs 100% hi-pot (dielectric withstand) testing at 2,000 V AC for 60 seconds to validate insulation integrity. Earth continuity is verified using a 25 A current pulse to confirm <0.1 Ω resistance in PE lines. Leakage current and insulation resistance tests are conducted per IEC 60227 and VDE standards. All test results are digitally logged and traceable to batch identifiers. 

Can Frigate customize conductor sizes and sheath materials for application-specific Type L Power Cord builds?

Yes, Frigate offers custom conductor sizes from 0.75 mm² to 1.5 mm² based on load requirements and cable run length. Sheathing options include PVC for general use and PUR for abrasion-prone or high-flex environments. Halogen-free variants are available for applications with strict flame and smoke toxicity requirements. Each customization follows structured validation against end-use electrical and environmental parameters. 

How does Frigate ensure mechanical strain relief on Type L Power Cords for dynamic equipment installations?

Frigate integrates overmolded strain relief designs using high-durometer elastomers at both plug and connector ends. The strain relief geometry is optimized to distribute bending forces away from the terminal-crimp zone. Flex cycle testing is conducted up to 30,000 bends to validate endurance in robotic or mobile setups. This ensures long-term mechanical reliability under cyclic motion stress.

What traceability features are integrated into Frigate’s Type L Power Cord supply for regulated industries?

Each Type L Power Cords from Frigate includes laser-etched batch codes, production dates, and part numbers for full traceability. Quality certificates, RoHS/REACH declarations, and inspection reports are tied to each production lot. Barcode labeling is used for automated inventory and QA workflows. These traceability measures support compliance for critical sectors like medical, telecom, and industrial automation.
