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

Product Information

Further sub-parts of IEC 60320 focus on special topics such as protection ratings and appliance specific requirements. Established in 1932, our range has steadily expanded over the years and we’re now proud to bring you a comprehensive range of computer and AV connection technologies.

Beginning with an amendment published in 2022, three of the commonly used high temperature variants have been standardized as types M–R. Unlike IEC 60309 connectors, they are not coded for voltage; users must ensure that the voltage rating of the equipment is compatible with the mains supply. The power supply cord can be replaced easily if damaged, because it is a standardized part that can be unplugged and re-inserted. 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. These are similar in form to the C13/C14 coupler, except with a ridge opposite the earth in the C16 inlet (preventing a C13 fitting), and a corresponding valley in the C15 connector (which doesn't prevent it fitting a C14 inlet).This is exploited by high-powered computer power supplies, up to 1200 W output, and even some particularly efficient 1500 W output models [16] to use the more popular C14 input on products sold worldwide.

uk - not only did they have the cable, but they despatched straight away and we literally had the cables the next day!

Plug connector: "part of the interconnection coupler integral with or intended to be attached to one cord". The standard uses the term coupler to encompass connectors on power cords and power inlets and outlets built into appliances. They have a variety of common uses, including connecting power between older PCs and their monitors, extending existing power cords, connecting to type F outlets strips (commonly used with rack-mount gear to save space and for international standardization) and connecting computer equipment to the output of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). They are identified by letters, not numbers, with one letter identifying the plug connector, and the alphabetical next letter identifying the mating appliance outlet.
