Connectors used around the world are covered by EN60335-1 (IEC 335-1) standards. This standard dictates the configuration of connectors designated to deliver the right current and temperature rating paired with the right cables.
Note:
a.) 0.5mm2 is allowed on lengths not exceeding 2 meters.
b.) If the cord had a length of exceeding 2 meters, nominal cross-sectional area shall be:
i.) 1.0mm2 for 10A
ii.) 1.5mm2 for 16A
Mixing and matching of plugs and connectors with the corresponding cables as per applicable safety standards will satisfy the right power cord / power cord set / jumper cord requirement.
