Nothing stops a project faster than a cracked, melted or cut-off cord end. This 15A 125V male plug — also called a cord plug, replacement power plug, grounded male plug or simply a NEMA 5-15P plug — turns the end of any flexible cord into a ready-to-use connection for standard grounded receptacles. It is the classic fix when a moulded plug has overheated or been damaged, and it is just as handy when you are building a cord from scratch for a lamp, a light fixture, a display case, a sign or a portable tool.

Rated 15A 125V, this wiring device is built around a tough insulating housing that shrugs off repeated plugging and unplugging, while the internal contacts are shaped to grip firmly inside the receptacle so the connection stays tight instead of loosening over time. Screw terminals give you a solid mechanical and electrical connection you can tighten, inspect and re-tighten, and the dedicated grounding terminal keeps the safety path intact from the equipment all the way back to the panel. Several configurations and finishes exist across this family of wiring devices, so you can match what the rest of the installation already uses. SKU LCACC120V-FICHE-MALE.

Homeowners mid-renovation, contractors on service calls, maintenance techs and small businesses all benefit from keeping a few of these on the truck or in the shop drawer. Think plug-in vanity lights, shop lamps, workbench tools, seasonal displays, kiosk signage, and any Canadian basement or garage where a cord has been pinched by a door or chewed by time. Pair it with our 120V power cable to build a cord to the exact length you need, add the matching 120 female electrical plug for a custom extension, or wire it to a photocell 120V for a plug-and-play dusk-to-dawn setup. Add one to your order and be ready the next time a cord gives up.

Built for cords that get handled
A plug lives a hard life: yanked out by the cord, stepped on, dragged across concrete, plugged and unplugged hundreds of times. That is exactly what this male cord plug is made for. The housing uses a durable insulating material that resists the abuse of daily use, and the blades and internal contacts are shaped to bite firmly into a standard grounded receptacle so you do not get that loose, warm, flickering connection that ruins a lamp or trips a breaker. It is a straightforward, serviceable wiring device — the opposite of a sealed moulded plug you have to throw away.

Electrical and safety details
This is a 15A 125V device in the NEMA 5-15P configuration, the standard grounded plug pattern used across Canadian homes and light-commercial spaces. Connections are made on screw terminals, which let you land solid or stranded conductors, torque them down properly and verify them later during maintenance. The separate grounding terminal is the part that matters most: it maintains the continuous equipment-grounding path from your fixture or tool back through the cord, the receptacle and the panel. Never skip it, even on a small lamp cord.

Installation, step by step
Always work with the cord unplugged — no exceptions. Open the body, slide it onto the cord before you strip anything, then strip only as much insulation as needed so no bare copper shows outside the terminal. Keep the conductors clean and untwisted, and land each wire on its matching terminal, the grounding conductor included. Tighten firmly, tuck the wires back so nothing is pinched when the body closes, then close it up and test. If you are repairing an overheated cord, cut back past the discoloured section before you rewire — heat damage travels up the conductors.

Where it earns its keep, and what it pairs with
Use it to revive plug-in vanity lights and bathroom fixtures, shop and task lamps, display cases, retail signage, seasonal décor, kiosk equipment, workbench tools and maintenance carts. Contractors keep several on hand because a damaged plug is the fastest call of the day. To build a cord from scratch, start with the 120V power cable, put this male plug on one end and the 120 female electrical plug on the other for a custom-length extension. For outdoor or storefront lighting that should switch itself on at dusk, wire it together with the photocell 120V.
