Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Plug Inserts

A plug insert (also called a plug core or insert assembly) is the internal functional part of an electrical plug: it contains the current-carrying pins or contacts, terminals and cord-grip mechanism that are placed inside a plug enclosure or overmolded with plastic during cord-set manufacture. Cord factories assemble or mold the outer body around the certified insert rather than building the contact system from scratch.

We supply inserts for the major worldwide plug systems, including Korean KSC8305, European CEE 7 two-pin (sheet XVII/DIN 49406), Schuko (sheet VII/DIN 49441) and French (sheet XVI/DIN 49464), Swiss SEV 6533/6534 Type 11/12, UK BS 1363, Italian IMQ CEI 23-16, South African SABS SANS 546, Israeli SII SI-32 and Danish AFSNIT 107-2-D1 types.

Yes. Inserts are designed and tested to the relevant national plug standard and carry approvals such as VDE, SEMKO, SEV, ASTA/BSI, IMQ, SABS, SII, DEMKO and KC depending on the country, allowing cord manufacturers to build certified cord sets. Using an approved insert is essential because the contact geometry, fuse (where required) and cord clamp are part of the plug's safety certification.

Manufacturers strip and terminate the flexible cable into the insert terminals, fit the cord grip, and then either screw the two halves of a plug shell around it or place it in a mold for overmolding the plug body. The insert therefore must match the cable diameter, conductor size and pin/contact rating, and must be assembled exactly as specified to preserve the plug's approval.

Yes. We supply certified plug inserts and cores across European, UK, Swiss, Italian, Korean, South African, Israeli and Danish standards, compatible with specified cable sizes and suitable for assembly or overmolding, with RoHS/REACH/PAHS compliant materials. MOQ is typically 200-1000 pieces; contact us with the target plug standard and cable specification for samples in 7-15 days.
