NEMA 5-15P Male Plug American Power Cord, 15A, 125V, UL/cULus/ETL Certified

The 15 A 125 V NEMA 5-15P is typically used for general household and commercial power in North America, including computers, monitors, appliances, power tools and office equipment. 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 5-15P 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 5-15R female receptacle (socket-outlet or cord connector). It carries 15 A at 125 V in a 2-pole, 3-wire (grounded) configuration, so the outlet, wiring and overcurrent protection must all be rated for at least 15 A.

No. NEMA connectors are keyed by voltage, current, phase and grounding, so the NEMA 5-15P mates only within its own 15 A 125 V family. 5-series connectors are 125 V only and must never be forced into 250 V 6-series or higher-voltage connectors; the different blade layouts prevent cross-voltage mating. 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 5-15P 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.
