NEMA 10-50P Male Plug American Power Cord, 50A, 125V/250V, UL/cULus/ETL Certified

The 50 A 125/250 V NEMA 10-50P is typically used for older electric dryers and ranges installed before equipment grounding was required, using the neutral as the grounding path. Selecting the correct 50 A 125/250 V connector ensures the contacts and cable can carry the load without overheating and that the single-phase split-phase supply is connected with the proper grounding and polarity.

The NEMA 10-50P is the male plug, typically fitted on the end of a power cord or equipment inlet lead, and it only mates with a matching NEMA 10-50R female receptacle (socket-outlet or cord connector). It carries 50 A at 125/250 V in a 3-pole, 3-wire (ungrounded, legacy) configuration, so the outlet, wiring and overcurrent protection must all be rated for at least 50 A.

No. NEMA connectors are keyed by voltage, current, phase and grounding, so the NEMA 10-50P mates only within its own 50 A 125/250 V family. The legacy 10-series has no separate equipment ground; new installations should use the grounded 4-wire 14-series (14-30/14-50), and adapters must preserve correct grounding. 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. We manufacture UL/cUL and ETL listed NEMA 10-50P cord sets, rewireable plugs and receptacles, and molded connectors using RoHS, REACH, PAHS and Proposition 65 compliant cable, with custom lengths, wire gauges, jacket colors, strain relief and labeling. MOQ is typically 200-1000 pieces, samples ship in 7-15 days and bulk production takes 15-20 working days.
