A: 1.25" wide

**Q: Can this be used even if I don't use the ground connector? I have one and it doesn't work.**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great repair plug or for just building your own chords.
*by R***N on January 22, 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as expected
*by N***K on January 6, 2026*

Solid and easy to install. Good quality plug.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Robust design and easy to assemble. Fifth star TBD dependent on durability.
*by J***H on October 3, 2024*

I'm a musician in several band with lots of gear to transport, setup and maintain. AC power distribution is always a challenge and our power cables take a lot of abuse. The molded NEMA 5-15P plugs on many of our AC power cables are particularly damage-prone, and finding a replacement plug that is durable, affordable and reasonably compact has been a challenge. So, I've just retrofitted three of these new plugs onto 14AWG cables, and they work as expected. Here are my thoughts: I read and followed the instructions without deviation and there were no surprises. I recommend you do the same. The plugs are noticeably larger in size than the originals, but smaller and lighter than the cylindrical models. As such they will (perhaps just barely) fit side by side on most standard power strips. There is no separate, independent clamp on these connectors. The strain relief is provided when the main assembly screw is tightened. The end result appears to be sturdier than the molded plug it replaces and lighter than the industrial grade cylindrical plug assemblies. I'll have more detail after a few road trips. Quick update: everything is working fine after a few setups and breakdowns. Fifth star still contingent on longer-term performance.
