And there are many power plugs in market, but most of daily plugs are carry power are similar, which is carry no higher than 300V. Therefore, the cable and wire gauge is not wide range, we have some types connectors that match with these power plus. The power supply connector is that the power plug molded with cable and the connector is installed on the cable or molded on the cable. So that there are different connectors for the cable according the actual application, including assembly connector, and molded connector. And the assembly connector have male to female or straight connector (no gender) for choosing from, also the molded connector have male to female type and straight connector (no gender) for choices.

Male to female assembly connector for power supply.

The assembly connector is male to female plug and socket, which is assembled with some components. The female connector will be installed on the power plug cable and the male connector will be installed on the cable to the device in usual. Why choose the male female input and female for output cable is because that the male connector is bare pin that is not safe for touch. This male female connectors are waterproof carrying with waterproof nut, rubber O-ring and seal ring. The wire connection is screw version or solder version for choices. When the connector installation qualified, the waterproof grade will reach IP67 even IP68, which is suitable for outdoor waterproof. This type connectors is only nylon material, no other material for choosing from.

No gender straight assembly connector for power supply

The no gender connector is straight connector we called L connector. The L connector is not male to female, only the wire will be installed on the socket directly. The connector is like a adapter that one side will be assembled with power plug cable and the other side will be assembled to the device wire. For this type connector, there is screw version and push-wire version alternative. Similar to the male female connector, this type connectors is just nylon material, the waterproof level is the same as male female connector IP67 and IP68.

Over molded male to female connector for power supply.

Over molded connector is the cable will be installed on the connector core and then inject with plastic to complete cover. This type connector, it need to provide the power plug cable or device cable in advance. It the same that the male connector molded on device cable and the female connector molded on the power plug cable. For this type connectors, there are nylon and PVC material connector for choosing from, but the waterproof grade is different, the nylon connector is IP67 / IP68 but PVC connector is only IP65.

Over molded no gender straight connector for power supply

This type connector is rarely chosen because the connector one side is molded another side is assembled. The connector is nylon material and the waterproof grade is IP67.

Whatever it is the connector type, our choices is to save costs and improve the installation efficiency.

What the connector we choose for power supply is to make a better power wire connection for outdoor or watery environment. The power supply connector is very common in the led lighting industry that is easy to control the lighting. According to different power supply and wire gauge, we can choose different size of connector. You can contact our sales to help choose your own right connector.
