What is a North American NEMA 1-15P to IEC 60320 C7 figure-8 power cord?

This cord has a NEMA 1-15P mains plug on one end and an IEC 60320 C7 figure-8 connector on the other, rated 2.5A 125V, for two-wire, non-earthed Class II appliances. It is certified to UL, cUL, ETL.

Which devices and appliances use an IEC C7 inlet?

The C7 inlet is common on laptop power supplies, games consoles, TVs, sound bars, radios, chargers and speakers. The C7 connector mates with the C8 appliance inlet.

Is the C7 connector polarized, and is there a grounded version?

The standard C7 is non-polarized and has no earth; a polarized variant exists for some markets. Devices needing an earth use a different connector such as C5 or C13.

Does this cord convert voltage or frequency?

No. It only carries power and does not convert voltage or frequency; the appliance or its adapter must accept the local 125V supply.

How is the opposite end finished on an American power cord?

It is stripped back to a set length and fitted with terminals or a connector, whichever the appliance needs. The finishes are compared in power cord wire end options .
