The invention relates to an electrical hand iron comprising a housing, a soleplate and a power cord which is provided with first electric contacts electrically connected to second electric contacts arranged on the hand iron, and a fixing system which makes it possible to discharge the tension of the power cord. The aim of said invention is to develop a hand iron in which the discharge of the tension of the power cord is easily reduced and said power cord is electrically connected to the hand iron. For this purpose, the first electric contacts of the power cord are securely fixed to the fixingsystem in order to ensure the tension discharge of the power cord. The assembling of said hand iron comprises fewer stages and is less time consuming, thereby making the production thereof more economical. The associated assembling method is also disclosed.
