IEC 60320 P-Lock C20 to C13 Power Cords

14awg-3c conductors are UL rated to carry 15A @ 250V. North American Color Coding for 3 wire cable designates (1) Black Conductor (1) Green Conductor (1) Neutral Conductor.

Conductor Designations in 125V Circuits

• Black Conductor - "Hot" or "Leg", the conductor that carries current to the equipment.

• Green Conductor - Ground conductor
• White Conductor - "Neutral", the conductor that carries current back to the source.

Conductor Designations in 250V Circuits

• Black Conductor - "Hot" or "Leg", the conductor that carries current to the equipment.

• Green Conductor - Ground conductor
• White Conductor - "Hot" or "Leg", the conductor that carries current to the equipment.

General Information:

The IEC 60320 C13 is a grounded 3 Wire connector rated up to 250V and 15 Amps. The C13 mates with a C14 inlet, and is commonly used in a jumper cable scenario in IT Installations providing power from a PDU to a server, router, switch or other computing device. Most people know the C13 as 'the thing that plugs into my computer' because it is the standard connector used to power most desktop computers. In a desktop computer application, the most common cable is the NEMA 5-15P to C13, which connects your standard North American wall outlet to a desktop computer. The iec 320 c13 c14 plug and connector are synonymous with Information Technology equipment primarily, but the C13 can be found powering equipment like medical devices and gaming consoles.

What does the IEC 60320 C13 Connect to?

The IEC 320 type C13 connector is designed to connect to the IEC 320 C14 plug and inlet. The C14 Plug is commonly found on power cords located in office, commercial or data center settings since the C13 inlet is usually only found in those environments. The C14 Inlet is commonly found on a variety of IT Equipment like monitors, switches, printers, power adapters, and more.

• The C20 P-Lock is a high quality design, that virtually eliminates chances of nuisance unplugging by latching into the C19 Inlet that it plugs into. This can be an essential solution for design teams looking to eliminate these moments of stress when a plug powering IT Equipment becomes unplugged. To unlatch the locked plug, pinch the tabs located on each side. Discuss with your team locations in your data center or server room where there is high traffic, and good candidates for such locking features.
