Heavy Duty Rewireable IEC C13 Female Inline Socket Plug 10A 250V for Refitting on Mains Cables

Product Information

Typical applications with increased pin temperatures include appliances with heating coils such as ovens or electric grills. The drawing illustrates the range of connector types offered within this section - The 'odd' 'C' numbers refer to a socket type connector - mains input - and the 'even' 'C' numbers refer to a plug type connector - the appliance inlet. Beginning with an amendment published in 2022, three of the commonly used high temperature variants have been standardized as types M–R. In addition the standards define further general criteria such as withdrawal forces, testing procedures, the minimum number of insertion cycles, and the number of flexings of cords.

The mains appliance couplers are all engineered to connect an appliance via a power cord to mains power. Fitted with a flexible cord, the components become interconnection cords to be used for connecting appliances or for extending other interconnection cords or power supply cords. An IEC power distribution unit which provides the power in a 19" cabinet for all active network and server requirements. I’ve never had a single faulty product, although I’ve had the odd thing where I’ve got it wrong, despite the comprehensive web site and pre-sales tech line. Common uses for the C13 connector/C14 inlet include medical equipment, test equipment, and IT equipment, along with commercial appliances, some home appliances, data centers, power distribution devices, and professional food equipment, to name a few.

UK 3-pin plug to right angled 10A IEC 320 cold condition socket mains lead • Ideal for overhead projectors, schools etc. For appliance couplers this consists of the letter "C" followed by a number, where the standard sheet for the appliance inlet is 1 higher than the sheet for the corresponding cable connector. Interconnection couplers allow a power supply from a piece of equipment or an appliance to be made available to other equipment or appliances. Locking IEC C13 sockets are for use when maximum integrity of the power supply is needed, the IEC C14plug cannot be released from the socket unless a red button is pushed, the plug will then release.

Although not specified by IEC 60320, and not clear whether any formal written standard exists, the most common wiring appears to connect the squared side to the neutral, and the rounded to the hot line. IEC 60320-2-1: Sewing machine couplers [6] specifies couplers which are not interchangeable with other couplers from IEC 60320, for use with household sewing machines. IEC 60320-1 defines a cord set as an "assembly consisting of one cable or cord fitted with one plug and one connector, intended for the connection of an electrical appliance or equipment to the electrical supply".

Given the 120 V (±5%) mains supply used in the United States [14] and Canada, [15] these higher ratings permit devices with C6 and C8 inputs to draw more than 114 V × 2. I must thank your staff for not only picking up the phone on a Saturday morning, but also being so incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. These have largely been supplanted by cordless shavers with rechargeable batteries or corded shavers with an AC adapter. If space is limited between the equipment and the wall or if the cord length needs to be kept to a minimum, an angled connector may assist in a safer routing of the cable, by helping to keep the cable from becoming pinched or tangled.

The most common ones are "IEC connector" for the common C13 and C14, the "figure-8 connector" for C7 and C8, and "cloverleaf connector" or "Mickey Mouse connector" for the C5/C6. C13 connectors offered by Interpower are rated at 10A/250VAC international and 15A/250VAC North America with a temperature rating of up to 70°C. Further sub-parts of IEC 60320 focus on special topics such as protection ratings and appliance specific requirements. Standard choice in server and networking 19" racks • Connect directly to the targeted equipment • C14 plug gives a 10A feed plugged into a UPS • Constant power supply to critical IT equipment is ensured • UK or IEC sockets • 1.IEC C13 and C14 power cords or IEC leads are for use with IEC Class I appliances and are mainly used in computer equipment but can also be used in some domestic and commercial appliances. Connectors" and "appliance outlets" are fitted with socket contacts, and "appliance inlets" and "plug connectors" are fitted with pin contacts. Three-wire cords with C13 connectors, which are easier to find, are sometimes used in place of the two-wire cords for replacement.

Cables with a C13 connector at one end and a type E plug connector at the other are commonly available. Common for supply of power to enterprise-class servers, UPSes, datacenter rack-mounted power-distribution units and other equipment that draws too much current for C13/C14 type to be used. Instead, a country-specific power supply cord can be included in the product packaging, so that model variations are minimized and factory testing is simplified. IEC 60320 Appliance couplers for household and similar general purposes [1] is a set of standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) specifying non-locking connectors for connecting power supply cords to electrical appliances of voltage not exceeding 250 V (a.It is generally possible to use a connector with a higher rated temperature with a lower rated appliance inlet, but the keying feature of the inlet prevents use of a connector with a lower temperature rating. a Protection Class II connector cannot mate with a Class I inlet which requires an earth); whereas connecting a Class I connector to a Class II appliance inlet is possible because it creates no safety hazard.
