A three pin female cord connector rated 15 amps at 125 volts, in a vinyl body. It is the end you fit when the moulded socket on an extension cord has been crushed, pulled apart or melted, and the cable behind it is still sound.
On a site or in a shop, cord ends fail long before cord does. They get run over, yanked out by the cable, or cooked by a loose connection inside the moulding. Replacing the end is a ten minute job at a bench and it keeps a long, expensive length of cable in service. The judgement call is the cable itself: if the jacket is cut anywhere along the run, or the conductors have been stretched, a new end on a damaged cord is a hazard rather than a repair.

Pro tip from the counter
Strip the jacket back only as far as the clamp will grip it, and no further. The usual failure on a replacement cord end is not the terminals at all — it is a jacket cut so far back that the strain relief closes on conductor insulation, so every tug on the cord is taken by three small screws instead of the cable.
Best for: shops, sites and rental fleets keeping extension cords in service, and anyone building a cord set to length rather than buying one.
What is a female cord connector actually for?
It is the socket end of an extension cord or a shop-made cord set. When the moulded end of a cord gets crushed or pulled apart, you cut it off and fit one of these rather than scrapping the whole length of cable.
What size cord will it clamp onto?
The listings we could find do not publish a cord range for this item. Bring the cord or the cable specification to the counter and check the clamp against it before you order a box of them.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Nothing in the available listings states a wet or damp location rating, so do not assume one. Outdoor cord sets need an end that is rated for the location and a cord jacket to match.
How do I know it is approved for use in Canada?
Look for a recognised certification mark on the body itself. Ontario requires electrical equipment to be approved before it is sold or connected, and the Electrical Safety Authority publishes the list of marks it accepts.
