To prevent accidental unplugging, a NEMA locking power cord is the best solution. Q-Lock® power cords feature a NEMA receptacle with locking pins to prevent disconnection. Read below to learn about the benefits of Q-Lock power cords and how they can ensure reliability in your electrical connections.
Features of Q-Lock Power Cords
Our Q-Lock power cables lock onto the pins of a plug to stay in place. Two white tabs on the side of the connector release the locking mechanism when pressed. This ensures the power cord cannot be accidentally unplugged from your devices or equipment, thus ensuring continuous operation. Additional benefits of Q-Lock power cords include:
- No additional hardware, such as screws, special plugs, or tools, required
- Universal fit with any 5-15P plug
- Available in a range of styles
- UL and C-UL approved
- Rated up to 30 lbs. of force
Q-Lock power cords prevent unplugging and help keep your devices running securely.
Q-Lock Power Cords vs Auto-Lock® Power Cords: What’s the Difference?
At Quail Electronics, Inc., we offer Q-Lock power cords and Auto-Lock® power cords. While both of these power cords are designed to prevent accidental unplugging, they have different designs and intended uses.
Q-Lock cables, also known as NEMA locking power cords, are specifically designed for use on the female end of standard North American (NEMA) plugs. This makes Q-Lock cables compatible with standard applications, including extension cords and everyday devices.
On the other hand, our Auto-Lock power cords are used on the female end of IEC 60320-1 connectors. These types of connectors are designed for more widespread international use, on equipment such as computers, data server equipment, or medical equipment.
