About Industry Designation for Cable Insulation

Plug × Wire Leads

90° Elbow Plug × Wire Leads

NEMA 1-15 Plug

NEMA 5-15 Plug

NEMA 6-15 Plug

Cords with a 90° elbow plug fit flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.

SVT cords are ultra-flexible and as pliable as vacuum cleaner cords. They withstand repeated winding.

SJEOW cords have an oil- and water-resistant insulation.

The insulation on SJTW cords resists water.

Use SJT cords in dry or damp locations.

SPT

SJT

NEMA 1-15 Plug

NEMA 5-15 Plug

NEMA 6-15 Plug

IEC C14 Plug

Designed for indoor applications, these cords are often used to power appliances.

SPT cords have a flat cord shape so they fit in tight spaces. The numbers 1, 2, and 3 indicate the relative thickness of the insulation. SPT-3 is the thickest, so it is less flexible but more durable than -1 and -2 cords.

Use SJT cords in dry or damp locations.
