Abstract
A power cord includes a plug having blades and a thermal sensor configured to detect a temperature, and a cut-off means configured to stop electric power from being supplied to the load connection portion from the blades when a temperature detected with the thermal sensor is higher than a prescribed temperature. The plug includes a core which retains the blades and the thermal sensor, and an enclosure which is formed by molding synthetic resin to cover an outside of the core. A part of the thermal sensor protrudes from the core to be buried in the enclosure.
