AC Power Cord

Reliable AC Power Cord Solutions for Global Applications

An AC power cord is designed to safely transmit alternating current from a power source to electrical or electronic equipment. It is widely used in home appliances, industrial equipment, IT devices, medical equipment, power supplies, and other electrical applications.

A typical AC power cord consists of a plug, insulated cable, and connector or equipment termination. Copper conductors provide reliable electrical conductivity, while insulation and jacket materials such as PVC and rubber provide electrical insulation, mechanical protection, flexibility, and durability.

At Dongguan Boli Electric Co., Ltd., we manufacture and supply AC power cords for a wide range of international markets and applications. Our products can be customized according to customer requirements, including plug type, cable specification, conductor size, jacket material, cable length, color, connector type, terminal configuration, and packaging.

Types of AC Power Cord

AC power cords are generally divided into two main types:

Detachable Power Cord

A detachable power cord, also known as a power cord set, typically consists of a male plug on one end and a female appliance connector on the other.

The plug connects to the mains power outlet, while the appliance connector connects to the electrical equipment. Common appliance connectors are designed according to standards such as IEC 60320, depending on the application.

Typical applications include:

• Desktop computers and monitors
• Printers and office equipment
• Home appliances
• Power supplies
• Medical and laboratory equipment
• Industrial electrical equipment

Non-Detachable Power Cord

A non-detachable power cord has a power plug on one end, while the other end is directly connected, stripped, terminated, or integrated into the electrical equipment.

This construction is commonly used for products where the power cable is designed to remain permanently connected to the equipment.

Typical applications include:

• Household appliances
• Kitchen appliances
• Power tools
• Lighting equipment
• Industrial equipment
• Electrical and electronic devices

Global Plug Types & Safety Requirements

Power cord requirements vary depending on the destination country or region. Different markets may require different plug configurations, cable specifications, voltage ratings, and safety approvals.

Common international certification and safety systems include:

• UL / cUL – United States & Canada
• VDE – Europe / Germany
• BSI – United Kingdom
• SAA – Australia
• PSE – Japan
• CCC – China
• BSMI – Taiwan

Certification availability depends on the specific power cord construction, cable type, plug configuration, and target market.
