Re: Anyone know the relationship between Oyaide and Nicoon?

While I do not know for certain, I would suspect that Oyaide works with Nicoon on some of their black molded parts (hence the Nicoon name shown in relief, along with the VDE and CE certifications). You can see via their website that Nicoon makes a variety of black molded plugs and inlets, but show nothing of the connectors that Oyaide is manufacturing.

On the rear of authentic Oyaide AC connectors, for instance, there is the legend "OYAIDE Elec. MADE IN JAPAN" big and bold surrounding the cable entry opening of the colored, opaque plastic body. Nicoon likely makes the molded plastic body on the R1, just as the previous SWO model was made by American Denki (also stamped on the face).

No different than cars and washing machines, many parts are outsourced with other manufacturers to make a completed product.
