AC power cord termintation

Just got an AC power cord that is not terminated at the mains end. Thinking of getting the most copper I can find at Home Depot to terminate.

Any suggestions for choices? [BTW this is maybe a $20 cord from LINN, so not worth looking at expensive audiophile brands]

Cheers

Hubbell 5266 is a nice plug for about $10 Cnd.

I trust you already know the black goes to the copper screw the white to the silver and the green to ground.

I picked up an industrial grade Leviton 5266c [did nto see Hosiptal expressly listed]. I cannot find information as to the distinction, is there in fact a difference between Industrial and Hospital grades?
