H05VVH2-F is the flat (parallel) PVC cord for 300/500 V: two cores side by side in one oblong sheath. For connecting appliances and lighting where a flat cord lies conveniently. Supplied to order; the lead time is stated in the quote.
H05VVH2-F is a harmonised ordinary-duty PVC-insulated and PVC-sheathed flat (parallel) flexible cord to EN 50525-2-11, rated 300/500 V, with two cores laid side by side in a common oblong sheath. It is intended for the connection of household and similar appliances subject to medium mechanical stress, such as vacuum cleaners, office equipment and lighting, in dry and damp indoor locations such as households, kitchens and offices. The cord is suitable for flexible use without tensile load and for fixed installation in ducts; it is not intended for outdoor use, for heating or cooking appliances, for industrial or agricultural premises, or for portable tools.
Also known as: flat cord

H05VVH2-F or H05VV-F?
H05VVH2-F
- flat
- two cores
- without earth
- 0.75 to 1.5 mm²
H05VV-F
- round
- 2 to 5 cores
- also with earth
- also larger cross-sections
H05VVH2-F is flat: two cores side by side, without earth, from 0.75 to 1.5 mm². H05VV-F is round and comes with 2 to 5 cores, including green/yellow earth, and in larger cross-sections. Choose the flat cord for a class II appliance where the cord must lie flat. If the appliance needs an earth, or for portable tools, it is H05VV-F.

H05VVH2-F
- 300/500 V
- 0.75 to 1.5 mm²
- medium duty
H03VVH2-F
- 300/300 V
- 0.5 and 0.75 mm²
- very low stress
Both are flat, PVC and two-core. H05VVH2-F is 300/500 V for medium duty and runs from 0.75 to 1.5 mm². H03VVH2-F is the light 300/300 V version in 0.5 and 0.75 mm², for lamps and small appliances under very low stress. For a heavier class II appliance, such as a vacuum cleaner, choose H05VVH2-F.
