What are Power Cord Sets, Power Cords and Jumper Cords?
Power cord sets, also known as detachable power cords, are electrical power cords that a consumer can conveniently disconnect and re-connect from the appliance.
Power cords, also called non-detachable cords, are ones where an end is fixed by the manufacturer to the appliance and the other end is a plug. The appliance end can be either be a grommet with terminals, board on connector, or free-end for direct soldering to a printed circuit board (PCB)
Jumper cords are detachable cord sets. They have cables fitted with plug connectors instead of a 3-pin plug. They are often used to supply power from the computer central processing unit (CPU) to the monitor. Jumper cords are not directly plugged to the wall socket.
