From RS Pro a high quality and durable power cable assembly or power cord for connecting an appliance to a mains power supply. This power cord is fully equipped with a Schuko 2-pin mains plug on one end, the other end is unterminated to allow direct soldering into a connector or directly into a device or piece of equipment. The power lead features an integrated strain relief that provides additional protection and support to the connection to prevent damage due to excessive bending

What is a Power Cable Assembly?

Power cable assemblies are electrical cables that are pre-terminated with a plug or socket connector. Power cable assemblies can be terminated with connectors on both ends of the cable, or just one. Depending on the application, there are various types to suit a wide range of requirements.

What is a Schuko plug?

This cable assembly is terminated one end with a Schuko plug which is one of the primary European AC plug types. The Schuko plug types have 2 pins and are commonly used in european countries such as Switzerland, Denmark, Italy and Germany. Although uncommon on UK appliances and machines, the Schuko can still be a common occurrence, especially with items such as shavers and chargers
