Cords

AC to DC Adapter Cords

Plug these adapter cords into a standard outlet and they change AC voltage to DC voltage.

Detachable-Cord AC to DC Adapters

Couple these adapters with a cord that matches your outlet and length requirements to run DC-powered electronics.

Medical-Grade AC to DC Adapters

To run DC-powered lab and medical equipment from your outlet, add a power cord with the plug style and length you need. These adapters meet strict IEC, UL, or ANSI/AAMI standards for use with medical devices.

International AC to DC Adapter Cords

Swap the plug to match the outlet of the region you’re in instead of using separate cords for each country. These adapter cords convert AC voltage to power DC electronics.

AC to AC Adapter Cords

Power devices that require less than 120 volts AC.

DC to AC Adapter Cords

Plug these cords into a vehicle socket to charge devices that run on AC voltage.

Outlet Splitters

Connect multiple devices from a single outlet.

Vehicle Outlet Adapters

Power devices that have a straight-blade connection from a vehicle outlet.

Electrical Connectors

Premium Straight-Blade Plugs,
Sockets, and Receptacles

Built to handle tough, repetitive-use applications, these are more durable than standard straight-blade connectors.

Straight-Blade Plugs, Sockets, and Receptacles

Use these connectors in general purpose residential and commercial applications.

Turn-Lock Plugs, Sockets, and Receptacles

Use these general purpose connectors indoors in high vibration applications. A quarter turn locks them together when mated to remain secure in high-vibration applications.

Premium Turn-Lock Plugs, Sockets, and Receptacles

Also known as twist-lock devices, these connectors withstand tough, repetitive use, and are more durable than standard turn-lock connectors. They turn to lock together when mated to prevent accidental disconnection.

Washdown Turn-Lock Connectors and Cords

When mated, these connectors meet NEMA 6P for protection against washdowns and temporary submersion.

Impact-Resistant Turn-Lock Connectors

A rubber housing protects these connectors from damage caused by drops and impact. They turn to lock together when mated to prevent accidental disconnection.

Corrosion-Resistant Turn-Lock Connectors

Stainless steel hardware and nickel-plated blades or slots protect connections from damage in corrosive environments. These connectors turn to lock together when mated to prevent accidental disconnection.

Non-NEMA Turn-Lock Connectors

A quarter turn locks these connectors in an outlet to remain secure in high-vibration applications and prevent accidental disconnection. They are not compatible with NEMA configurations.

IEC Safe-Break Pin-and-Sleeve Connectors

These connectors meet international standards IEC 309-1 and 309-2. They prevent an electrical arc when separating mated connectors, so you can safely connect and disconnect with the power on.

Fluorescent Ballast Connectors

Connect one end to a fixture and the other to a ballast. These connectors allow you to safely disconnect a failed ballast without exposing you to live wires.
