3' NEMA 5-15P SJTW Replacement Power Cord – 16/3 or 14/3

This 3 ft NEMA 5-15P SJTW power cord provides a ready-to-wire AC power lead for controllers, power supplies, appliances, electrical enclosures, and other hardwired equipment. One end features a molded NEMA 5-15P grounded plug, while the opposite end is factory stripped and prepared for termination.

Choose between 16/3 SJTW rated 13A or heavier 14/3 SJTW rated 15A. Both versions use stranded copper conductors and a durable outdoor-rated SJTW jacket.

Installing the cord through an enclosure? Our M16L Long-Thread Cable Gland has a 5–10 mm cable range and is sized to fit both the 16/3 and 14/3 SJTW versions.

Available Wire Sizes

16/3 SJTW – 13A

The 16/3 version is a good choice for many pixel controllers, single-power-supply builds, appliances, and other equipment drawing up to 13 amps at 125V.

14/3 SJTW – 15A

The heavier 14/3 version supports up to 15 amps at 125V and is appropriate for higher-load installations where additional conductor capacity is required.

Factory-Prepared Bare-Wire End

The open end is prepared for easy installation with approximately 50 mm of the outer jacket removed and approximately 10 mm of insulation stripped from each conductor.

Common Uses

• Pixel controller enclosures
• Mean Well and other AC-powered power supplies
• Replacement appliance power cords
• Outdoor lighting controllers
• Electrical and electronics enclosures
• Shop and commercial equipment
• Custom hardwired equipment

Choosing the Correct Wire Gauge

Select the cord size based on the input current and installation requirements of your equipment. The 16/3 SJTW 13A version is suitable for many common controller and power-supply applications, while the heavier 14/3 SJTW 15A version provides additional current capacity for higher-load installations.

Always verify equipment current requirements, conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, grounding, and applicable electrical requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

• Disconnect power before wiring or servicing equipment.
• Use an appropriately sized strain relief or cable gland where the cord enters an enclosure.
• Maintain correct line, neutral, and equipment-ground connections.
• Do not exceed the current rating of the selected cord.
• Follow the installation instructions and electrical requirements for the connected equipment.
