The V-Lock cord-retaining system can prevent accidental disconnection of power in appliance couplers and power-entry modules according to IEC 60320 (10- and 16-A cords) and UL (15- and 20-A cords). The system provides protection of IP 20 according to IEC 60529 from the front side.
The V-Lock feature a yellow catch mechanism that latches into a notched inlet or outlet, and is released by simply depressing the lever with no additional hardware required. The systems are available with NEMA plugs and a variety of country-specific plugs. Custom cable lengths and plug variations are also available. (Standard V-Lock appliance inlets from $1.49 each/100; power cord prices vary — available now.)
