Different Types Of Power Cord Plugs

A power plug refers to a device that connects devices such as electrical appliances to a power source.

Power sockets and plugs vary in shape, grade, size, and type depending on the country and region. Every country has its own standards set by the government.

Power plugs, also known as power cord plugs, are used in various fields and countries.

According to the different uses of the power plug, the power cord plug can be used at 250V, 125V, 36V, 16A, 13A, 10A, 5A, and 2.5A according to the current. The frequency is generally 50/60Hz.

Power plugs can be roughly divided into conversion power plugs, injection-molded power plugs, and assembly power plugs.

1. Converting the power plug: The power plug standard of each country is different. For example, the power plug from China cannot be used when it arrives in the United States, and a conversion plug must be required to complete the conversion. This requires changing the power plug.

Converting the power plug is to convert a national standard plug into another national standard power plug.

2. Injection molding power plug: The injection molding plug is where the plug and the wire are pressed together by high temperature and high pressure. Once formed, they cannot be assembled or disassembled. Such a power plug has obvious characteristics, stability, and safety.

More than 80% of the power plugs generally circulating on the market are such power plugs.

3. Assembling the power plug: Assembling the plug means that the power cord and the plug are fixed together by screws, etc., but they can be assembled and disassembled during use, which ensures the flexibility of the power plug.

For example, a large proportion of the UK market is using this type of assembled power plug.
