-----------------------------------------------------------------------

A power cord, line cord, or mains cable is a cord or cable that

temporarily connects an electrical appliance to the distribution

circuits of an electrical power source via a wall socket or

extension cord.

The terms are generally used for cables using a power plug to

connect to a single-phase alternating current power source at

the local line voltage(generally 100 to 240 volts, depending

on the location). The terms power cable, mains lead or flex are

also used. A lamp cord is a light weight ungrounded two wire

cord used for small loads such as a table or floor lamp. The

term cord set is also used to distinguish those cords that

include connectors molded to the cord at each end.

Power cables may be either fixed or detachable from the

appliance. In the case of detachable leads, the appliance end of

the power cord has a socket (female connector) rather than a

plug (male connector) to link it to the appliance, to avoid the

dangers from having a live protruding pin. Cords may also have

twist-locking features, or other attachments to prevent

accidental disconnection at one or both ends. A cord set may

include accessories such as fuses for overcurrent protection, a

pilot lamp to indicate voltage is present, or a leakage current

detector. Power cords for sensitive instruments, or audio/video

equipment may also include a shield over the power conductors to

minimize electromagnetic interference.

Connectors

Common types of detachable power cables have appliance-side

connectors such as the IEC 60320 C13 sometimes colloquially

known as an IEC connector, "kettle lead", "jug plug" or "IBM

plug" (commonly used for higher current appliances where an

earth or ground connection is required) and IEC 60320 C7

commonly used for low-current applications such as an power

supply inlet for use with a laptop computer. The IEC C7 is also

known as a "figure-of-eight lead" (connecting by two small round

pins, with round insulating bushings; the connector has a

figure-of-eight cross section). The polarised IEC 60320 C5

connector is now commonly used on the AC side of laptop computer

power supplies. The IEC C5 is commonly known as "cloverleaf

plug" or "Mickey Mouse plug" because of the shape of its cross

section.

IEC power cables come in high-temperature and low-temperature

variants, as well as various current capacities. The connectors

have slightly different shapes to ensure that it is not possible

to substitute a cable with a lower temperature or current

rating, but that it is possible to use an over-rated cable.

Cords also have different types of exterior jackets available to

accommodate environmental variables such as moisture,

temperature, oils, sunlight, flexibility, and heavy wear. For

example, a heating appliance may come with a cord designed to

withstand accidental contact with heated surfaces.

Worldwide, more than a dozen different types of connectors are

used for fixed building wiring. Products sold in many different

markets can use a standardized IEC connector and then use a

detachable power cord to match the local electrical outlets.

This simplifies safety approvals, factory testing, and

production since the power cord is a low-cost item available as

a commodity. Note that the same types of appliance-side

connectors are used with both 110 V and 230 V power cables, so

care must be used when moving appliances between countries with

different voltage standards substituting a power cord that

matches local power outlets will result in an incorrect voltage

being applied to the appliance or equipment. Some devices have a

slide-switch to adapt to different voltages, or wide-ranging

power supplies. Unless explicitly labelled as capable of

handling local voltages, this is very likely to damage or

destroy the appliance.
