About this product
Power tool, shop vacuum, air compressor, or appliance cord cut, crushed, or worn through at the plug? This Cable Leader 3-prong power cord replacement pairs a molded NEMA 5-15P plug for standard 120V outlets with a pigtail open end: 2 in. of outer jacket removed and each conductor semi-stripped 1/2 in., with black (hot), white (neutral), and green (ground) leads ready for the device's terminal block. It is a UL Listed heavy duty power cord built from 14 AWG 3-conductor copper in a flexible SJT jacket, rated 15A at 125V (1875W), the full capacity of a standard 15A outlet. Compatible with any 120V device drawing 15A or less that takes a 3-wire grounded cord, including microwaves, shop vacuums, circular and miter saws, air compressors, pumps, and kitchen equipment. Best for: power cord repair on high-draw 120V gear, as a replacement power cord, 3-prong AC power cord, or appliance cord. Not for: window air conditioners (they need an LCDI plug), 240V dryers or ranges, 20A equipment, 2-wire devices, or in-wall wiring.
Features
Replace a Damaged Cord on Tools, Vacuums, and Appliances
Replace a cut or crushed 3-prong cord instead of a working tool or appliance, or use it as the cord in a hardwire to plug-in conversion kit for shop equipment with screw terminals (strain relief and wire connectors not included). Skip the screw-on electrical plug replacement: this replacement power cord has a factory-molded plug. Disconnect power before wiring, or have an electrician install it.
UL Listed Heavy-Duty 14 AWG, 15 Amp 125V (1875W)
The molded NEMA 5-15P grounded plug fits standard 120-volt North American 3-prong outlets, and the UL Listed 14 AWG 3-conductor SJT copper cord carries the full 15A (1875W) a standard household circuit delivers. Check your device's nameplate before installing: it should read 15A or less, or 1875W or less. The green grounding conductor gives metal-cased tools and appliances a path to ground.
Fits 120V Devices Up to 15A - Not for Window ACs
Works with any 120V device that takes a 3-wire grounded cord and draws 15A or less. Quick check: microwave, shop vacuum, air compressor, or 15A saw - Yes; window AC, 240V dryer, range, or 20A equipment - No; garbage disposal, range hood, or dishwasher - No, code requires the maker's short cord kit. For loads of 10A or less, the lighter 18 AWG 10A pigtail version also fits. Not a surge protector.
Molded Plug and Flexible SJT Cable - Built for Workshops
The NEMA 5-15P plug is fully molded to the cord for strain relief and a firm grip in the outlet. The SJT power cable has a VW-1 flame-rated jacket and 105C-rated conductors, and stays flexible for routing through a strain-relief bushing or cord grip. At the open end, 2 in. of jacket is removed and each lead is semi-stripped 1/2 in.; the insulation tip stays on to protect the strands until you slide it off.
Sample-Tested Production - Cable Leader Direct Support
Each cord is sample-tested during production for continuity and correct wiring. Manufactured to RoHS environmental standards (lead, mercury, and cadmium-free). If your cord arrives defective or stops working in normal use, Cable Leader handles replacement requests directly - no manufacturer redirects.

Cord on a fan, pump, or small appliance frayed or cut, or need to convert hardwired equipment to plug-in? This Cable Leader 3-prong power cord replacement pairs a molded NEMA 5-15P plug for standard 120V outlets with a pigtail open end: 2 in. of outer jacket removed and each conductor semi-stripped 1/2 in., with black (hot), white (neutral), and green (ground) leads ready for a terminal block. It is a UL Listed 10A 125V power cord (1250W) built from 18 AWG 3-conductor copper in a flexible SJT jacket, a light-duty 3-prong AC power cord and replacement appliance cord. Compatible with any 120V device drawing 10A or less that takes a 3-wire grounded cord, such as small appliances, fans, pumps, lamps, LED drivers, AC-DC power supplies, or a light-duty power tool up to 10A; for 11-15A loads choose the 14 AWG 15A version. Best for: power cord repair on low-current gear or a hardwire to plug-in conversion. Not for: microwaves, space heaters, loads over 10A, 2-wire devices, or in-wall wiring.
This is the polarized version of the figure-8 AC cord: one side of the C7 connector is squared off, so it only seats one way and only fits equipment built for a polarized inlet. It is the replacement cord for Vizio D, E and M Series LED TVs and Vizio Sound Stand and soundbars, Sony PlayStation PS1 and PS2, Bose Companion 3 and 5, SoundTouch 20 and 30 and Acoustimass systems, Brother, Singer, Baby-Lock, Viking and Pfaff sewing machines, and Sharp, Sanyo and Philips sets that use a 2-slot polarized socket. The conductor is 18 AWG stranded copper rated 10A at 125V, a higher rating than the 7A cords usually sold for this job, and the cordset is UL Listed with fully molded ends. Look at your device before ordering: one side of the socket flat or squared, the other rounded means polarized and this is the right cord. Best for: replacing a lost or damaged factory cord on a polarized TV, console, soundbar, or sewing machine. Not for: sockets with two identical rounded sides, three-prong equipment, or loads over 10A.
Need a replacement IEC C13 power cord but want a thicker-gauge option for a workstation, office setup, or longer cable run? This 16 AWG heavy-duty AC power cord uses a molded NEMA 5-15P plug for a standard U.S. grounded outlet and an IEC C13 connector for equipment with an IEC C14 inlet; it is rated 13A at 125V and gives buyers a more substantial computer power cord option than a light-duty cable. Compared with smaller-gauge conductors of the same material and length, 16 AWG has lower conductor resistance, so the gauge becomes more meaningful when cable length increases or when equipment operates closer to the cord's rated load. Molded NEMA 5-15P and IEC C13 ends support routine workstation moves and IT replacements; the SJT jacket is marked 105°C / 300V, and the current drawing states that relevant materials comply with RoHS requirements. Best for: desktop PCs, workstations, monitors, printers, servers, powered speakers, and other IEC C14 equipment within 13A at 125V; Not for: IEC C5 cloverleaf, C7 figure-8, C19, or equipment above the cord rating.
