This USA 3-Prong 16AWG 6Ft AC Power Cord features a NEMA 5-15P plug on one end and a stripped open end on the other, specifically designed for devices in North America and regions compatible with US-standard power systems (120V/60Hz). With "16AWG precise wire gauge + 6Ft practical length + flexible stripped-end wiring + US-standard compliance", it serves as an ideal power accessory for DIY device modifications, industrial control units, and customized home appliances, perfectly solving the problem of devices requiring self-wiring that cannot be adapted by regular cabled with fixed connectors. It strictly adheres to North American electrical safety standards: the NEMA 5-15P plug has passed plugging life and insulation strength tests, and the 16AWG (1.31mm² wire diameter) high-purity oxygen-free copper conductor has a rated current of 13A and a maximum power capacity of 1560W. It can safely power low-to-medium power devices such as small motors, custom lamps, and laboratory instruments, eliminating safety hazards caused by overload heating or loose wiring.
The combination of NEMA 5-15P plug and stripped end offers great flexibility: the input end’s NEMA 5-15P US 3-prong plug has nickel-plated brass pins for strong oxidation resistance and smooth plugging. The grounding pin can conduct the device’s leakage current to the ground, compatible with regular 120V sockets in North American homes, workshops, and laboratories without additional adapters. The output end is a stripped open design—about 1-2cm of the outer PVC sheath has been pre-stripped, exposing 3 internal independent wires (live, neutral, ground). Users can directly solder or crimp the stripped end to the device’s internal terminals without additional wire-stripping tools, greatly simplifying the DIY wiring process. It is especially suitable for customized devices with non-standard interfaces (such as homemade desk lamps and small mechanical equipment modifications).
The 6Ft (approximately 1.8m) length and 16AWG wire gauge are precisely matched to scenario needs: the 6Ft length balances the regular distance between devices and sockets, avoiding restrictions on device installation due to short cables and preventing redundant tangling from overly long cables. It adapts to short-distance power supply scenarios such as desktop devices, wall-mounted units, and small cabinets. Although the 16AWG wire gauge is thinner than the 14AWG commonly used for high-power devices, its conductivity is sufficient for 13A current needs. The cable is also softer and more flexible, making it easier to route in narrow spaces (such as internal device wiring and power supply in desktop corners) while reducing overall weight for easier device portability or movement.
Materials and detailed designs enhance practicality and safety: the conductor is made of high-purity oxygen-free copper with a low resistance of 0.013Ω/m, resulting in minimal heat loss during current transmission and a cable surface temperature not exceeding 40℃ after long-term use. The outer layer is covered with a flexible PVC sheath, featuring temperature resistance (-20℃ to 70℃), wear resistance, and oil resistance, which will not be damaged by daily dragging or contact with mild chemicals. Clear marks such as "16AWG", "120V 13A", "NEMA 5-15P", and "6FT" are printed on the cable surface for quick specification identification. The stripped-end wires use colored insulation layers (usually black, white, green/yellow, corresponding to live, neutral, ground) to avoid polarity confusion during wiring and reduce the risk of wiring errors. Whether for electronic enthusiasts wiring DIY devices, factories modifying power supplies for customized instruments, or replacing power cords for non-standard interface devices in maintenance scenarios, this USA 3-Prong Stripped-End Power Cord can provide reliable power support with the advantages of "flexible wiring + compliant safety + strong adaptability".
