We supply a mains power lead (cord) with moulded IEC 60320 connector and stripped ends. When we know the destination of the product, we enclose the correct one for Europe or USA otherwise two cables are packed.
The cable colour codes are obviously different but it seems that the connector is also physically different (including those fitted to cables supplied by the same manufacturer). For the "professional" market, the colour code is not so much of a problem, (labels are fixed to the end of the cable anyway), but is there a reason for the connector to be different to meet UL and European standards? Connectors with screw terminals having dual certification are available so why not moulded versions? Does anyone know if a combined cable having about 2m lead with both UL and European approvals is available?
