From RS Pro a high quality and durable power cable assembly or power cord for connecting an appliance to a mains power supply. This power cord is fully equipped with a Schuko 2-pin mains plug on one end, the other end is unterminated to allow direct soldering into a connector or directly into a device or piece of equipment. The power lead features an integrated strain relief that provides additional protection and support to the connection to prevent damage due to excessive bending

Power cable assemblies are electrical cables that are pre-terminated with a plug or socket connector. Power cable assemblies can be terminated with connectors on both ends of the cable, or just one. Depending on the application, there are various types to suit a wide range of requirements.

This cable assembly is terminated one end with a Schuko plug which is one of the primary European AC plug types. The Schuko plug types have 2 pins and are commonly used in european countries such as Switzerland, Denmark, Italy and Germany. Although uncommon on UK appliances and machines, the Schuko can still be a common occurrence, especially with items such as shavers and chargers

This power lead has a H05VV-F harmonised cable which means it belongs to the Harmonised reference system and conforms to the European Harmonisation Standard. This purpose of this standard is to improve standards and quality of cables across Europe to ensure the trade of common standard product.

• Flexible and durable H05VV-F harmonised cable with stranded wire core, PVC insulation and sheath
• IEC 60884-1 16 A Schuko 2-pin plug
• 2.5 m lead length
• Reliable integrated strain relief for connection support and protection
• Unterminated one end for custom installations

A range of electrical appliance connecting leads, the majority of which are terminated with connectors that conform to IEC 60320. The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is the international standards and conformity assessment body. The drawing illustrates the range of connector types offered within this section - The 'odd' 'C' numbers refer to a socket type connector - mains input - and the 'even' 'C' numbers refer to a plug type connector - the appliance inlet.
