Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about NEMA NEMA 1-15R cords and connectors
The NEMA 1-15R is a NEMA connector rated 15 A at 125 V, 2-pole, 2-wire (ungrounded), for single-phase circuits. It uses the standard NEMA non-locking straight-blade configuration. The trailing R identifies it as a female receptacle; it pairs only with the matching NEMA 1-15P.
The 15 A 125 V NEMA 1-15R is typically used for older lamps, radios, clocks and small double-insulated household electronics that do not require an earth connection. Selecting the correct 15 A 125 V connector ensures the contacts and cable can carry the load without overheating and that the single-phase supply is connected with the proper grounding and polarity.
The NEMA 1-15R is the female receptacle (socket-outlet or cord connector) and accepts only the matching NEMA 1-15P male plug. It is rated 15 A at 125 V in a 2-pole, 2-wire (ungrounded) configuration, and it supplies power to the connected cord or equipment only when the correctly keyed 15 A plug is inserted.
No. NEMA connectors are keyed by voltage, current, phase and grounding, so the NEMA 1-15R mates only within its own 15 A 125 V family. The ungrounded 1-series has no earth contact and must not be used on equipment requiring grounding; a grounded 5-15P plug cannot fit a 1-15R receptacle because the ground hole is absent. When two configurations must be joined, use a properly rated, UL-listed adapter or cord set, and never exceed the lowest current rating in the chain.
Yes.
