NEWS RELEASE: Interpower launches production of newly designed Japanese 12A/125VAC medical plug

February 27, 2024 – After obtaining Japanese PSE approvals, Interpower launches production of its Japanese 12A/125VAC hospital-grade power cord and cord set.

With a Japanese hospital-grade plug on one end and an IEC 60320 C13 connector on the opposite end of a1.25 mm² VCTF cable, the cord set is ready to use right out of the box. A major benefit of the cord set is how the newly designed plug offers more flexibility in manufacturing custom cord length and color options for this cord set.

Advantages of Interpower’s new Japanese hospital-grade cord set include:

  • Japanese hospital-grade cord set with a PSE-approved plug bearing the “green dot;”
  • Internal stainless steel clamp rings to ensure conductor retention;
  • Customized lengths/colors. The standard color is gray. Black, clear, and other custom colors available by request
