Additional Heavy Duty Right Angle Power Cord Information

Right Angle cords and cordsets can be molded with offset contacts at 45, 135, 180, 225, 315 and 0/360 degrees to meet your specific needs. Two options are available for the grounding pin position – you can elect to have the grounding pin molded at the bottom or the top of the plug face. These cords are offered in a 3-wire configuration as either NEMA 5-15P, 5-20P, 6-15P or 6-20P. Since Right Angle cords are designed with the cable portion exiting the plug at 90 degrees as opposed to the standard 180 degrees, little clearance is required. This design feature helps to save space and prevent unwanted damage to the plug and receptacle.

Heavy duty right angle power cords are molded with an ergonomic, extra-large plug head and deep contoured ridges for non-slip handling, making installation quick and easy.

Plug orientation can be customized with offset contact positions at 0/360, 45, 135, 180, 225, and 315 degrees. BRAB versions position the grounding pin at the bottom, while BRAT versions position it at the top. These options support equipment layouts where clearance, routing, or receptacle orientation must be considered.

Performance Characteristics for Industrial Applications

These cords are available in amperage ratings of 10, 13, 15, and 20 amps with voltage classifications of 125 or 250 depending on the NEMA pattern. Wire size compatibility includes 18/3, 16/3, and 14/3, allowing integration with a wide range of equipment. The right angle design helps prevent stress on the plug and receptacle, reducing the likelihood of damage in tight installations or high traffic areas.
