MeloAuto-Trusted PLC & DCS Parts Supplier
The Schneider A010/220V Specialized Cable connects power supply units to industrial control systems. This cable carries 220 VAC power to PLCs and I/O modules. You will find it in control cabinets requiring high-voltage AC distribution. It features molded connectors on both ends for reliable connections. Therefore, this cable simplifies installation and reduces wiring errors.
The Schneider A010/220V Specialized Cable measures 3000 mm in length and 12 mm in width. Its cable diameter reaches 9 mm for flexible routing. The unit weighs approximately 0.52 kilograms. It contains three copper conductors (L, N, PE) for power transmission. One molded male connector terminates one end of the cable. Additionally, one molded female connector terminates the opposite end.

Internal Architecture and Energy Storage
The Schneider A010/220V Specialized Cable stores absolutely no electrical energy internally. It contains no capacitors or active components. Three stranded copper conductors carry live, neutral, and protective earth signals. Each conductor uses 18 AWG stranded copper wire for flexibility and current capacity. PVC insulation surrounds each conductor for electrical isolation. An overall PVC jacket protects all conductors from mechanical damage. A molded male connector (3-pin) terminates the power supply end. A molded female connector (3-pin) terminates the device end. Both connectors feature strain relief for cable pull protection. The molded construction prevents moisture ingress at connection points.
Connection Interfaces and Wiring Details
You will find a 3-pin male IEC connector at the power supply end. Plug this end into a compatible 220 VAC power supply unit. The Schneider A010/220V Specialized Cable has a 3-pin female IEC connector at the device end. Connect this end to the PLC or I/O module power input. The cable transfers power without any signal conversion or modification. Pin 1 connects to live (L), pin 2 to neutral (N), and pin 3 to ground (PE). The molded connector key prevents incorrect insertion orientation. Use cable ties to secure the cable along its routing path. The cable carries full 10 amps continuously without overheating.
Installation and Routing Steps
You power off all devices before connecting this specialized cable. First, insert the male connector into the power supply outlet. Then, insert the female connector into the device power inlet. The Schneider A010/220V Specialized Cable fits all Schneider PLCs with IEC power connectors. Route the cable away from low-voltage signal wires to avoid noise coupling. Maintain a minimum separation of 100 mm from data cables. Do not bend the cable beyond its minimum bending radius of 90 mm. Use cable ducts or tie wraps for organized cable management. Secure the connectors with their locking clips when provided. Never route this cable through the same conduit as communication lines. Test continuity and ground connection before powering on the equipment.
