There is no working solution for jumping electricity - connecting cords are still needed
Our versatile stock program mainly includes basic appliance connection cords intended for use with external power sources, with a mains connector suitable for a socket on one end and one of the most common device connectors on the other end. The range also includes connecting cables equipped with a mains connector to be installed in the device, with one end free – stripped, tinned or ferruled if needed.
The most common two-wire, non-earthing device cords with a C7 device connector are available with established mains connector types according to the EU CEE 7/16, UK BS 1363, US NEMA 1-15(A), Japanese JIS 8303 and AU AN/NZS 3112 standards. Models with C1, C9, C17 and C23 device connectors are also available on request.
Technically, connecting cables with a C7 device connector intended for protection class II devices are generally made with a minimum of 0.75mm² conductors and can handle currents of 2.5A. For short cables under 2m, a cross-section of 0.50mm² is also allowed. The maximum operating temperature range of the device connector type is +70°C and is not replaceable.
Our stock inventory includes black EU models ranging from 0.5m to 4.0m in length, as well as standard UK, US/Japan and AU models. Other lengths and colors are available upon request. All versions naturally meet the standards required in each corresponding market area.
Correspondingly, our program includes 3-pole connection cables equipped with a grounding contact for the needs of different market areas, such as CEE 7/7 (E, F) for the EU region, BS 1363 for the UK region, NEMA 1-5(B) for the US region, JIS 8303 for the Japanese region and AN/NZS 3112 for the AU region. Models with mains connectors compliant with Swiss SEV-1011 and Italian CEI 23-50 are also available on request. Present Schuko connectors CEE 7/7 (E, F) are equipped with both protective contacts on the sides of the connector and a hole for a separate contact pin, such as that used e.g. in Israel.
The most common device connectors in our stock products are C13 and C5. Connecting cables with a C15 connector intended for higher ambient temperatures, a C19 connector intended for currents up to 16A, and a C21 device connector intended for both higher temperatures and currents are also available upon request.
Technically, connecting cables with a 10A specified C13 device connector intended for protection class I devices are generally implemented with a minimum of 0.75mm² conductors. The connector's permitted 10A current can be transferred if a 1.0mm² wire cross-section is used for wires longer than 2m. The C5 connector, often used in power supplies for IT equipment, has a nominal current rating of 2.5A and a conductor cross-section of at least 0.75mm².
The C19 connector used in devices that require a lot of power, such as UPS devices, is specifed for a minimum wire cross-section of 1.0mm², and in order to reach 16A current, 1.5mm² wires must be used in the connection cable. The maximum operating temperature range for these types of device connectors is +70°C.
The most typical cross-sectional areas of mains cables are 0.75 mm², 1.0 mm² and 1.5 mm²
The connecting cables in our stock are mainly stylish black versions, which are well suited for power supplies. Several models also come in grey or white versions - and of course, when ordered, connecting cables are available in different wire cross-sections, lengths and colors.
