Plugs and sockets meet an electrical need. They are the components used to connect electrical equipment to a power supply without tools.

IEC 60320 is a set of standards from the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) specifying components for the connection of power supply cords to electrical equipment up to 250V.

A socket strip distributes electrical power through multiple sockets. It can be the power source for multiple pieces of equipment, allowing flexibility in a product design.

For companies choosing to design and build products for global export, testing the equipment before it is shipped is highly recommended. When designing a product with international customers in mind, it is essential to know that the product will work in the country of choice.

One of the keys to success for a company is to have choices available to make a product more marketable. An accessory power system allows options that help to simplify power supply connections. It can also open up opportunities for new markets.
