NEMA 5-15P to Crimp Terminals Flat Pigtail Power Cord
Ready-to-Wire Crimp Terminals: The output side is supplied with pre-crimped terminals (e.g., ring terminals for ground, quick-disconnects for line/neutral). This eliminates manual stripping and crimping on the assembly line, saving critical manufacturing time.
Standard NEMA 5-15P Grounded Input: Features a standard 3-prong NEMA 5-15P male plug, providing a compliant 125V AC grounded connection for North American appliances and commercial equipment.
Injection-Molded Strain Relief: The NEMA plug incorporates a ribbed strain relief transition that distributes bending force across the flat PVC jacket, protecting the internal copper conductors from fatigue during installation and everyday use.
OEM Customization Ready: Cord length, wire gauge (18AWG/16AWG/14AWG), terminal type, stripped conductor length, grounding ring size, plug molding, and certification route can be precisely customized to match your specific wiring diagram.
- Product Description
NEMA 5-15P to Crimp Terminals Flat Pigtail Power Cord for Low-Profile OEM Wiring
The NEMA 5-15P to Crimp Terminals Flat Pigtail Power Cord is engineered for equipment manufacturers and appliance repair technicians who need a grounded US power input combined with a space-saving flat cable profile. The 3-conductor parallel (SPT) wire design routes easily in tight clearances, while the pre-crimped terminal ends allow for immediate, secure connection to internal control boards, relays, and grounding posts. Flat profile. Fast assembly. Precise terminal matching.
Why Choose Our NEMA 5-15P Flat Pigtail Power Cord?
Standard round cables can be bulky and difficult to route inside compact appliances. This flat SPT-style cord solves clearance issues while providing a fully prepared terminal end that drops right into your production workflow.
Flat Parallel Cable Jacket for Tight Clearances
Instead of a thick, round SJT jacket, this cord uses an SPT-2 or SPT-3 flat parallel structure. The conductors are aligned side-by-side, resulting in a much lower physical profile. This allows the cord to be routed tightly against metal chassis walls, under appliance covers, or flush against baseboards without causing enclosure bulges.
Pre-Crimped Terminals Reduce Assembly Rework
The open end is pre-configured with industry-standard crimp terminals. For example, line and neutral conductors can be fitted with quick-disconnects (spade terminals) for relays, while the ground wire features a ring terminal for secure chassis mounting. This eliminates manual stripping, tinning, and crimping on your assembly line, ensuring consistent electrical contact.
Standard NEMA 5-15P Plug with Molded Strain Relief
The input side features a standard NEMA 5-15P 3-prong plug, providing reliable 125V AC grounded power. The plug is injection-molded over the flat cable with an integrated ribbed strain relief. This transition absorbs kinetic tension, preventing the flat wire from splitting or tearing at the plug base when pulled.
Clear Grounding Conductor Identification
In a 3-conductor flat cord, identifying the ground wire quickly is crucial for safety. The center conductor (ground) is typically marked with a green stripe or colored insulation near the terminal end, ensuring technicians connect the protective earth properly to the equipment chassis.

Buyer's Insight: The terminal specification is the most critical detail. Providing a drawing that specifies the exact ring terminal diameter (e.g., M4, M5) and quick-disconnect width (e.g., 4.8mm, 6.3mm) prevents assembly line mismatch. Always verify the individual conductor split length (how far back the jacket is separated) to ensure the wires reach their respective terminal blocks without tension.
Professional Applications You Can Trust
For appliance repair, including window air conditioners, refrigerators, and commercial freezers, a flat 3-conductor cord is often required to fit under tight back panels. The pre-crimped ring terminal allows technicians to quickly secure the ground to the chassis, while the line/neutral terminals plug directly into the control board.
For OEM lighting ballasts and LED power drivers, space is at a premium. The flat SPT profile lays cleanly inside narrow extruded aluminum housings, reducing wire pinching during final assembly.
For industrial HVAC control panels, organized wire routing is essential for maintenance. Specifying exact branch lengths for the three flat conductors allows for clean, tension-free routing to different breaker or relay locations within the panel.
Advanced Safety Features
The NEMA 5-15P plug provides a grounded connection, which is mandatory for appliances with metal housings. The ground terminal (typically the ring terminal) must be securely fastened to the equipment chassis to ensure fault currents are safely directed to earth.
The flat SPT jacket is designed for indoor, relatively low-abrasion environments. It should not be used in heavy industrial outdoor settings where a thick round SOOW rubber jacket is required.
Crimp terminal quality directly affects safety. Our factory utilizes automated crimping machines calibrated to specific pull-force standards, preventing the micro-arcing and overheating commonly associated with loose manual crimps.
Manufacturing Excellence
Our factory specializes in OEM and ODM custom power cord assemblies. We support precise terminal crimping, accurate wire splitting, NEMA plug molding, and comprehensive compliance documentation. Testing includes automated continuity checks, Hi-Pot testing, and terminal pull-force verification. Factory history, QC scope, and certification files can be provided according to your purchasing requirements before bulk order approval.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between SPT and SJT cable?
A: SPT is a flat, parallel cable often used in lamps, small appliances, and low-profile wiring. SJT is a round cable with thicker overall insulation, typically used for heavy-duty tools and general extension cords.
Q: Can I specify different terminal types for each of the three wires?
A: Yes. A very common configuration is a ring terminal on the ground wire (for chassis mounting) and quick-disconnect (spade) terminals or ferrules on the live and neutral wires. This must be detailed in your drawing.
Q: Is this NEMA 5-15P flat cord grounded?
A: Yes, this 3-conductor version includes a ground wire connected to the NEMA 5-15P ground pin. (A 2-conductor version would use a NEMA 1-15P plug).
Q: What information is needed for a quotation?
A: Please provide the total cable length, wire gauge (AWG), flat jacket type (e.g., SPT-2 or SPT-3), split length of the three conductors, exact terminal specifications for each wire, target certification, order quantity, and packaging requirements.
Custom Solutions for Your Business
Terminal & Split Customization: Define the exact split length of the parallel wires, the exposed wire length, and select from ring, fork, quick-disconnect, or ferrule terminals to perfectly match your equipment's internal layout.
Cable Length & Wire Gauge: Choose 18AWG for lighter loads or upgrade to 16AWG/14AWG for higher current appliances. Define the exact total length to eliminate excess cord clustering.
Plug & Strain Relief: Adjust the NEMA 5-15P plug shape (straight, 45-degree, or 90-degree right angle) and molded strain relief length to suit your wall-side clearance requirements.
Branding & Compliance Matching: Cable printing, ground wire color marking (e.g., green stripe), molded logos, and certification documents can be prepared according to your target market and purchasing checklist.
