Connector Type B (YP-12)
The NEMA 5-15P connector has two flat parallel pins for neutral as well as live conductors and a round longer pin for the ground wire. It should be used for 120V, 60Hz maximum.
UL Specification 60601-1 specifically states that all patient-related precautionary equipment must have power cords with hospital grade connectors.
The main differences between standard NEMA and Hospital Grade NEMA connectors are as follows:
- Metal pins must be solid brass to prevent breakage.
- Strain relief must be provided on the inside of the plug mold, for stress reduction and reliable grounding.
- The plug must pass several rigorous tests that UL conducts before approval.
- The product must be marked with both a green dot and the words "Hospital Grade".
Plug C13 (YC-12)
IEC 60320-C13 cold appliance plug is used for power connection of equipment that does not generate heat during operation. The maximum temperature of the plug must not exceed 70°C and the maximum current flow is fixed at 10A. Cold appliance plugs do not fit into warm or hot appliance sockets.
