Bunk beds. Cargo pants. Perhaps even rearranging that walk-in closet into a storage unit. We’re always looking to find ways to save space while increasing efficiency. With this in mind, Quail Electronics proudly offers a space-saving solution for your power cord needs. The piggyback plug will allow you to tap into the AC power outlet and power a piece of equipment holiding a usable AC power outlet. It’s possible you’ve even used a piggyback plug without realizing it. Ever connected Christmas tree lights to decorate that beaming greenery? Most configurations offer piggyback plugs to illuminate the holiday spirit, even outside the home.
A piggyback plug on a cord is a space-saving feature that allows you to plug into a wall socket while having an additional socket within the plug that quite literally piggybacks off the power from the source outlet. These plugs come in both North American and international configurations.
- The two-pronged NEMA 1-15P conductor features many practical configurations that best fit your multiple powering needs. These two-pronged plugs also come in polarized configurations to prevent electrocutions. Another useful product of our piggyback line is the NEMA 1-15P to a rocker switch, which features a button to turn on or off all your piggybacked devices. All piggyback plugs are rated from 125 to 250 volts, giving ample connectivity for powering multiple products.
- The three conductor piggyback features an NEMA 5-15R connector for connecting a total of two more outlets to one source cord.
These special plugs provide a convenient multiple-source powering solution for your home, such as a lamp. In the kitchen for powering small appliances, piggyback your connection to a toaster or handheld mixer. In the office, piggyback your computer desk or cabinet for powering computing items. The multitasking is also a space-saving solution for the journeyman at the work bench, charging power equipment such as drills.
From high-voltage applications to IEC jumper cords, we’ve got your piggyback!
