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

Product Information

A cord which is fitted with non-rewireable (usually moulded) connectors at both ends is termed a cord set. Connectors" and "appliance outlets" are fitted with socket contacts, and "appliance inlets" and "plug connectors" are fitted with pin contacts. They are invaluable for use with critical equipment, either free-standing or rack-mounted and in areas subject to vibration, such as outside broadcast vehicles, touring and 'fly-away' kit, where standard connectors may become dislodged in transit.

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. These cables are sometimes informally referred to as a "kettle cord" or "kettle lead", but the C13/14 connectors are only rated for 70 °C (158 °F): a device such as a kettle requires the C15/16 connector, rated for 120 °C (248 °F). Each outlet is protected by an individual fuse on these PDUs, giving every socket an extra level of safety over a standard unit.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. The C13/C14 connector and inlet combination are used in a wide variety of electronic equipment ranging from computer components like the power supply, monitors, printers and other peripherals to video game consoles, instrument amplifiers, professional audio equipment and virtually all professional video equipment.

International Standardized Appliance Connectors (IEC-60320) Reference Chart Includes diagrams of all couplers, their rated current, equipment class, and temperature rating. 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. I think you should have a section on your web site saying that you can make leads for early Quad stuff. Further sub-parts of IEC 60320 focus on special topics such as protection ratings and appliance specific requirements.Most Apple supplied cable adapter provide grounding through a slide-in connector, while the angled AC adapter ("duckhead") does not provide grounding, with North American plugs. The power supply cord can be replaced easily if damaged, because it is a standardized part that can be unplugged and re-inserted. The IEC C13 and IEC C14 connectors on either end of this lead have 3 pins, a rated current of 10 A and a maximum temperature rating of 70°C, and are sometimes referred to as ’cold connectors’.

Each fused socket has a neon light which indicates the status of the fuse, allowing easier replacement of any blown fuses. Assembly and handling of an appliance is easier if the power cord can be removed without much effort.C13 and C14 connectors have 3 pins, a rated current of 10 A and a maximum temperature rating of 70°C, and are sometimes referred to as IEC ’cold connectors’. Appliance couplers for household and similar general purposes Part 1: General Requirements (IEC 60320-1, Ed. The appliance inlet is designated by the even number one greater than the number assigned to the connector, so a C1 connector mates with a C2 inlet, and a C15A mates with a C16A.

From RS Pro a high quality and durable power cable assembly or power cord for connecting an appliance to a mains power supply. This allows manufacturers to produce the same appliance for many markets, where only the cord set has to be changed for a particular market. They are available in two forms; female C13 type (outlet) cable connectors for use between appliances and their mains power sources and female F type (outlet) panel connectors for use as an interconnection between one appliance and another.Similar connector to C5/C6, but with a key ridge instead of an earthing conductor, withdrawn from standard.
