Overall length from the face of the plug to end of the longest conductor

• AWG size & number of conductors
• Color & UL type designation
• Plug type
• Appliance end finish: – Molded connector (specify by category number) – Power supply cords (describe end processing from Standard Factory Tolerance chart below)
• Strain Relief: – Specify by category number – Indicate location as center-line to end of longest conductor
• Put-up: – Hanked-self-secured (specify body and free-end lengths) – Unhanked-tied in bundles.
• Coiled – (specify critical diameter and free-end lengths) – Required approvals (UL and/or CSA)

Glossary of Wire Type Terminology
Flat Wire: SPT: Stranded, Parallel, Thermoplastic
This is always followed by a -1, -2 or -3, signifying insulation thickness for different applications.
HPN: Heater, Parallel, Neoprene
Required for heater-type application, such as irons, toasters, etc.
NOTE: Electri-Cord can run some 20 AWG, but mostly we run 18, 16 and 14 AWG, 2 or 3 conductors.
P = Parallel Wire (Flat).
Jacketed Wire:

S = Stranded (or Service Wire)
J = Junior Service (300 Volt). If no “J” is in the wire type, then it is a hard service (600 Volt).
T = Thermoplastic. If no “T” is in the wire type, then it has a rubber jacket.
O = Oil-Resistant Compound
W = Weather-Resistant Compound
V = Vacuum (as in vacuum cleaner). This is a small O.D. jacketed wire, very flexible and initially used for vacuum cleaners but now used on many different types of products. Available only in 18 AWG.

Examples:
SV = Stranded Vacuum Rubber Jacketed (NO “T”)
SJT = Stranded Junior Thermoplastic
SJTOW = Stranded Junior Thermoplastic, Oil and Weather resistant for UL and CSA.

Miscellaneous requirements:
S.P. = Surface Printed
N.M. = Non-Migratory compound to prevent the wire color from bleeding under unusual circumstances.
VW-1 = Vertical Flame test (formerly FR-1)
IEC, ICC = International Color Code on the inner conductors (Blue, Brown, Green w/Yellow Stripe)
N.A. = North American Color Code on the inner conductors (Black, White, Green)
41/34 = Stranding specification format (41 strands of 34 AWG wire for each inner conductor)
T.C. = Tinned Copper inner conductors|
RIBBED = Outer jacket is striated with ribs
R/S or W/S = Red or White Stripe for visual polarity inspection on Flat wire

Temperature Ratings:
60°C = Standard rating (except HPN =90°C)
105°C = Electri-Cord’s alternate rating
(we normally don’t stock 75°, 90°C)

We are able to cross-reference several of our other competitor’s part numbers as well. If the only description you have is someone else’s part number, the Electri-Cord problem solvers will be able to quote you immediately with our best price and delivery.

Note: Above dimensions are nominal and are within UL and CSA tolerances. If wire size or O.D. is critical to your application, please contact us for special arrangements.
