    About NEMA Plugs, Sockets, and Receptacles
    industrial info icon

    Identify your power connector's NEMA type by matching its blades or slots to our diagram.

    Snug-Fit Straight-Blade Connectors

    Also known as hospital-grade connectors, these have an extra-tight fit to remain secure when mated under high vibration. They're marked with a green dot, so you know they're a good choice to power critical devices, such as testing and calibration equipment. While they're essential in healthcare facilities, they also power frequently moved tools and workstations so bumps and vibration won't loosen connectors.

    Easy-Access Snug-Fit Straight-Blade Connectors

    The convenience of a one-piece design and the security of an extra-tight fit. These connectors snap shut like a suitcase and open to adjust and rewire as needed. Also known as hospital-grade valise connectors, they have a green dot and mate tightly with sockets or receptacles to stay secure under high vibration. While they're essential in healthcare facilities, they also power frequently moved tools and workstations so bumps and vibration won't loosen connectors.

    Isolated-Ground Snug-Fit Straight-Blade Connectors

    Protect sensitive equipment from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and spikes in voltage. An isolated ground connection blocks EMI. The indicating light turns green when receptacles have power and are protected. A flashing red light and an audible alarm indicate power but no surge protection. When mated with a plug, receptacles provide an extra-tight fit to remain secure in high-vibration applications. Also known as hospital-grade receptacles, they're marked with a green dot.

    Locking Snug-Fit IEC Power Cords

    Create a secure, vibration-resistant connection on both ends—these cords have a hospital-grade plug and a locking connector on the socket. The plug, marked with a green dot, has an extra-tight connection to stay connected to your electrical outlet. The socket on these cords securely locks onto any male receptacle and won't detach until manually unlocked. Use with computers, lab equipment, and other machines with IEC connections, especially ones that you move frequently—bumps and vibration won't loosen the connections.

    The plug and outlets on these reels form an extra-tight connection with any device to keep it from detaching. They’re marked with a green dot to confirm that they’re hospital grade. Extend the cord to any length, and a ratchet on the reel will hold it in place. A quick tug on the cord automatically retracts and winds it neatly.
    These cord reels have a circuit breaker that trips if there’s too much current, preventing damage to the devices you’re powering. The housing is impact-resistant plastic that won’t dent easily or corrode from humidity. The SJTOW extension cord has insulation that resists oil and water.
