Fast answer: Choose the plug standard for the destination, confirm the equipment inlet or stripped-wire termination, then select a cord rated at or above the equipment current and voltage. Finally, verify wire gauge, length and required approvals.
🧭 Five Checks Before You Select a Power Cord
Use this sequence to narrow the options without relying on plug appearance alone.
1. Region
Match the wall plug to the country or regional standard.
2. Device End
Choose C13, right-angle C13, C14 or stripped conductors.
3. Rating
Confirm voltage and current against the equipment nameplate.
4. Cable
Check 18, 16 or 14 AWG and the required reach.
5. Approval
Verify UL, CSA or destination-specific certification.
🇺🇸 North American Power Cords
Use detachable C13 cords for equipment with an IEC 60320-C14 inlet. Choose a stripped-end cord when the cable will be terminated inside approved equipment by a qualified assembler. These 125 V options use NEMA 5-15P plugs and cover 10 A, 13 A and 15 A applications.

❓ Mega Electronics Power Cord FAQ
What is the difference between detachable and non-detachable power cords?
A detachable cord uses a connector such as an IEC 60320-C13 that plugs into equipment with a matching C14 inlet. A non-detachable model ends in stripped conductors for permanent termination inside approved equipment.
When should I choose a right-angle C13 connector?
A right-angle C13 can reduce the space needed behind equipment and redirect the cable away from an enclosure or wall. Confirm the exit direction and available clearance before ordering.
Can a North American cord be used internationally with an adapter?
A plug adapter does not change the cord’s voltage, current or certification. Use a destination-approved cord and confirm that the connected equipment supports the local supply voltage and frequency.
Does a hospital-grade plug make any device suitable for patient-care areas?
No. The complete device and installation must meet the applicable medical and facility requirements. Match the cord to the equipment manufacturer’s specifications and obtain approval from the responsible safety authority.
