** Available in a variety of wire types **
Industrial duty power cords and cordsets are manufactured by Kord King and in the U.S.A. All of these industrial duty power cords have short lead times and require only reasonable minimum order quantities.
Industrial duty power cords and cordsets are molded in a variety of colors, in any length, with opposite end terminated per customer specifications. A variety of wire types and sizes are available.
Our Industrial duty plugs can be made with internal strain reliefs, lighted ends, and internal bridges if needed. All industrial duty power cords have a comfortable grip plug for ease in handling.
Industrial Duty Power Cord Construction
Industrial duty power cords incorporate molded plug bodies designed for strength and long term durability. Wire size compatibility ranges from 18/3 to 12/3 depending on the amperage and NEMA pattern. Cord grip versions include an integrated mechanical clamp that helps secure the cable jacket and reduce strain on internal conductors. Internal strain relief structures, optional lighted ends, and reinforced bridges can be added to meet specific equipment requirements.
Performance Characteristics for Industrial Environments
These cords are engineered for equipment that operates on 125 or 250 volts with amperage ratings from 10 to 20 amps. The BFUP plug design supports consistent retention and stable electrical contact during operation. Industrial duty power cords are suitable for tools, machinery, portable equipment, and facility infrastructure where repeated plug in cycles and cable movement are common.
Material and Design Features
Plug bodies are molded in a range of colors to support equipment identification and facility level organization. The ergonomic grip design supports comfortable handling and reduces slippage during insertion and removal. Each cord set is available in multiple lengths, with opposite end terminations manufactured to customer specifications. UL and CSA approvals support use in regulated industrial environments.
Available Industrial Duty Power Cord Options
