XH044A SANS 164 South Africa Rewirable 3-Pin Power Plug (16A)
This South African Standard 3-Pin Rewirable Power Plug (Model: XH044A) is a heavy-duty, field-assemblable connector designed specifically for the South African and Indian markets. Compliant with the SANS 164-1 standard, this plug is engineered for safety, durability, and ease of maintenance. Unlike molded plugs, the XH044A features a rewirable (assemble type) design, allowing for easy replacement of damaged cords or custom cable length adjustments without replacing the entire plug head.
Rated for 16A / 250V AC, this plug is ideal for high-power household appliances and industrial equipment, including air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, heaters, and computer servers. It features three large round pins—Live, Neutral, and Earth—ensuring a secure, grounded connection that meets strict electrical safety regulations. The robust thermoplastic housing offers excellent impact resistance and heat dissipation, while the internal cable clamp ensures strain relief for long-term reliability. This product is an essential component for exporters and manufacturers targeting the Southern African region.
