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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
