Inlet
...
Electrical inlets, or plugs, have 2 or 3 prongs to connect to your equipment’s live, neutral, and ground wires. When inserted into an electrical outlet, inlets supply power to your devices and appliances. We carry a wide range of IEC and NEMA inlets, available in a variety of styles and voltage ratings.
Quail Electronics, Inc. is a leading manufacturer for over 1 million power cords and power cord components.

Electrical Inlets vs Electrical Outlets
Inlets and outlets are both essential components of an electrical circuit. Also known as plugs, inlets are usually connected to an appliance or device by way of a cable containing a live, neutral, and ground wire. An outlet is a box containing electric wiring. Once the wiring inside the box makes contact with the prongs of the inlet, an electrical connection is formed.
Not all inlets will work with every outlet. Before selecting a plug, you must consider the type of inlet/outlet (IEC, NEMA, etc.), the amperage and voltage ratings, the number of contacts or prongs, and more. Refer to our Plug and Receptacle Matrix for help determining the plugs you need. Contact us for additional assistance.
Types of Inlet Plugs
IEC-60320 Inlets
IEC specifies standards for universal power cord use. We supply IEC-60320 C14, C16, and C20 inlets. Available in fused, screw-on, and snap-on styles with options including a ground lead. These IEC inlets have ratings ranging from 10A-20A and up to 250V.
NEMA Inlets
NEMA inlets conform to standards set by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. Our 5378 model inlet is a flanged screw-mounting version of the 3-prong North American NEMA 5-20P plug. This inlet connects directly to your equipment’s live, neutral, and ground wires and is rated at 20A and 125V.
Locking NEMA Inlets
Locking inlets use screw-action brass pressure plates to lock-down on your equipment’s live, neutral, and ground wires. We offer locking NEMA inlets in a variety of configurations, including L5-20P, L5-30P, L6-20P, and L6-30P. Ratings range from 20A-30A and up to 250V.
