What is NEMA 1-15P?
The NEMA 1-15P is a type of power plug commonly used in North America.
- NEMA: This refers to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, which sets standards for electrical plugs and outlets in North America.
- 1: Indicates it has two prongs (compared to three prongs in NEMA 5-15P).
- 15: Represents the amperage rating, meaning it’s safe for use with devices drawing up to 15 amps of current.
- P: Denotes it’s a plug (versus R for a receptacle).
Therefore, a NEMA 1-15P plug has two prongs, is rated for 15 amps, and is designed to fit standard 2-prong wall outlets in North America. It’s commonly found on:
- Low-powered electronics: Laptops, desktops, printers, TVs, monitors, game consoles, kitchen appliances, phone chargers, etc.
- Double-insulated devices: These have internal protection and don’t require grounding, making the two-prong plug sufficient.
However, it’s crucial to note that NEMA 1-15P plugs lack a grounding prong, which can be a safety concern for high-powered appliances or devices relying on grounding for protection. In such cases, a NEMA 5-15P plug with three prongs (including a grounding prong) is safer and recommended.
flat angle AC power cable with a NEMA 1-15P plug
A flat angle AC power cable with a NEMA 1-15P plug, also known as a two-prong plug with a flat profile, is commonly used in North America to power various devices.
- Flat angle AC power cables are commonly used with devices that do not require grounding, such as lamps, TVs, radios, and small appliances.
- They are also sometimes used with power strips and surge protectors.
