South Africa Power Cords
South Africa runs two plug systems side by side. The older SANS 164-1 plug uses three large round pins and is still fitted throughout existing installations, while the newer SANS 164-2 plug is smaller and is now required on new socket outlets. Products shipped into the market usually need one or the other stated at the order stage.
We mould both patterns and terminate them with an IEC 60320 connector or with prepared leads, so the same appliance can be served with either cord.

Products in South Africa Power Cords
How These Are Built
Cord sets in this category are moulded on our own tooling with first class producing equipment and advanced mould processing equipment. Cable gauge and type, conductor count, cord length, jacket colour and the connector at the appliance end are all set on the order rather than fixed by a catalogue number. Complete OEM services are available and all products are RoHS compliant.
How OEM orders workFrequently Asked Questions
Which South African plug should I order?
It depends on the sockets your end user has. Existing installations widely use the large round pin SANS 164-1 pattern, while new outlets take the compact SANS 164-2 plug.
Can you fit a C13 connector?
Yes. The South Africa plug to C13 cord is one of the standard builds in this group.
What cable do you use?
Flexible PVC cable equivalent to H05VV-F is standard. Rubber cable is available where the cord is handled or dragged.
Can you supply short rack cords?
Yes. Cord length is set per order, so short patch lengths for cabinets are no problem.
