Limited space between electrical equipment and the power connection can make the direction of the cord critical. An angled plug can minimize the space between connectors saving critical millimeters—having a huge impact. Different angles of plugs allow choices as to how a cord can be plugged into a power source.
Examples of where using an angled plug may be beneficial:
- Commercial food equipment that resting on counters and floors with minimal clearance to the plug.
- Equipment frequently pulled in and out of its normal location reducing disconnections.
- Equipment located at an angle from the power source with a need for the cord set to plug in at an angle.
- Applications where multiple devices are connected to a power strip. By choosing the correct angle, issues of plug strain reliefs and cable exits interfering with a neighboring outlet can be avoided.
