AC Power Cords
AC Power Cord consists of a plug, wire and connector. One end of the plug is connected to the power socket, and the connector on the other end is inserted into the electrical device to provide the device with the power needed to operate. Its wires are generally made of conductive materials such as annealed soft copper, and are wrapped with an insulating layer and a rubber or polymer jacket to ensure safe conduction and prevent leakage, short circuit, etc.
Hongzhou have passed ISO9001:2000 quality management system and VDE, UL and other multi-national safety certifications, and full-item testing is carried out during production and automated equipment is introduced to ensure that the quality of the entire process is controllable and the defect rate is zero. During the production process, 100% high-voltage testing, continuity testing, displacement testing, and resistance testing are carried out, and automated testing equipment is introduced to ensure zero defect rate of products. For example, power cords with a waterproof rating of IP67 can adapt to harsh environments such as outdoor and industrial environments, while materials certified by UL2468 guarantee high temperature resistance and anti-oxidation performance.

AC Power Cords Connector by IEC 60320
IEC 60320 AC power cord connector is a set of two-pole connector standards for AC circuits developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). There are two types with or without ground wire. It is suitable for circuits with a maximum rated AC voltage of 250V and a maximum rated AC current of 16A. It is mainly used for the connection between 50Hz or 60Hz power supplies and electrical appliances and electrical equipment.
This standard defines 13 different types of IEC power connectors, each of which is identified by the letter "C" plus a number. Among them, odd-numbered ones such as C1, C13, etc. are female sockets, and even-numbered ones such as C2, C14, etc. are male plugs. Common series include C13/C14, C15/C16, C19/C20, etc. For example, C13 connectors are usually used in computers, monitors and other devices, and C14 plugs are compatible with them; C19/C20 are often used in high-power devices, such as servers in data centers, large network routers, etc. As an AC Power Cord manufacturer, Hongzhou produces products that meet the IEC 60320 connector standard.
