Standards are project references and do not by themselves establish certification. Price, stock, MOQ, lead time, final ratings, compliance, and installation suitability require written confirmation for the ordered construction.

## Key features

### Destination-specific plug selection

The plug, pin configuration, grounding and applicable regional requirements are defined for the destination market.

### Complete assembly review

Plug, flexible cord, equipment connector, conductor size, current, length, colour, marking and strain relief are reviewed as one assembly.

### Approval evidence by exact configuration

VDE, UL, BS, SAA or other approval requirements are confirmed for the exact plug-cord-connector combination rather than inferred from a component name.


## Key specifications

| Property | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Product family | Custom AC power cord and appliance cord set |
| Plug families | Destination-specific European, North American, British, Australian/New Zealand and other configurations by RFQ |
| Equipment end | IEC 60320 connector or project-specified termination |
| Electrical data | Voltage, current, conductor size and grounding matched to equipment and destination requirements |
| Custom options | Length, colour, cable type, connector, strain relief, printing, label and packing |

## Power cord sourcing by destination

A power cord should be specified as a complete assembly, not only by plug shape. The destination market, equipment inlet, voltage, current, grounding, flexible cable, length, strain relief, marking and approval documents all affect the final cord set.

Typical enquiries include appliance cords, IT and office-equipment cords, external power-supply leads and industrial-equipment connection cords. Exact plug and connector availability is confirmed during quotation.

## Assembly information to confirm

| Component | RFQ information |
|---|---|
| Destination plug | Country or market, plug designation, grounding and any fuse requirement |
| Flexible cord | Cable designation, conductor size, core count, colour and required marking |
| Equipment end | IEC 60320 connector, stripped end, terminals or another specified interface |
| Electrical duty | Equipment voltage, current, power and operating environment |
| Mechanical details | Overall length, strain relief, bend direction and handling requirement |
| Documents and packing | Required approval evidence, label, individual packing, carton and shipping mark |

## Regional standards and approvals

Projects may reference VDE 0620, UL 817, BS 1363, AS/NZS 3112, IEC 60320-1 or another national or component standard. These references are not interchangeable. Approval and marking must be checked for the exact plug, flexible cord and equipment connector combination supplied.

No generic family statement should be treated as proof that every configuration carries every regional approval.

## Quality control

Every finished power cord undergoes 100% continuity testing before shipment. If the project requires additional polarity, grounding, insulation-resistance, dielectric or dimensional tests, list them in the RFQ so the inspection plan and documents can be confirmed.

## How to request a quotation

Provide destination country, plug type, equipment connector, voltage, current, conductor size, cable designation, length, grounding, colour, marking, quantity, packing, destination and required approval documents.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can one power cord approval cover every plug and cable combination?

No. Approval scope depends on the exact components, ratings, construction, marking and documentation.

### What if the equipment connector is not IEC 60320?

Send a drawing, photograph or component specification. The termination and strain-relief requirements can then be reviewed with the flexible cord and plug.

## Supplier review points

- Reduces the risk of matching a plug to the wrong flexible cord, connector, current or destination requirement.
- Keeps marking and approval documents tied to the exact cord-set configuration being purchased.
- Keeps plug, connector, electrical requirements, quantity and destination together in the request.
