Plug Adapters

The IEC 60320 C5 is a grounded 3 Wire connector rated up to 250V and 2.5 Amps Internationally or 125V and 10 Amps in North America. The C5 mates with a C6 inlet, and is commonly used for laptop power supplies, projectors, and some televisions. Being slightly smaller in size than the C13, the C5 can be a good choice for smaller appliances. This connector is sometimes referred to as a "Mickey Mouse" connector due to the shape of the connector looking similar to the kids television show character.

The IEC 60320 C7 is an ungrounded 2 Wire connector rated up to 250V and 2.5 Amps Internationally or 125V and 10 Amps in North America. The C7 mates with a C8 inlet, and is commonly used for laptop power supplies, video game consoles, televisions, and other double-insulated small appliances. This connector is sometimes referred to as a "Figure-8" or "Shotgun" connector due to it's shape. A variation of the C7 exists, sometimes referred to as a C7P or C7 Polarized, although it is not documented in the IEC 60320 standard. The C7P has one square side and one circular side so the connector only mates with the inlet using the correct pin configuration.

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 C15 Power cable is used to power electrical devices that emit so much heat (intentionally or unintentionally) that they require a power connection that can withstand more than the 70 °C (158 °F) temperature rating of the standard C13. In combination with the C14 plug type, the use cases of this high-temperature cable are almost exclusively data center environments. This cable would most likely be found supplying a High-Powered Switch power from a rack-mounted PDU power supply source. If your equipment has a IEC320 C16 Inlet it should only be mated with the matching C15-Power Connector.

The IEC 60320 C19 is a grounded 3 Wire connector rated up to 250V and 20 Amps. The C19 mates with a C20 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. The C19 is typically used in high powered blade server chassis, large network routers, and other IT equipment that draws more power than a standard C13 can accommodate.

The IEC 60320 C21 is a grounded 3 Wire connector rated up to 250V and 20 Amps. The C21 mates with a C22 or C20 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. The C21 is a HIGH TEMPERATURE version of the C19 connector, with a maximum pin temperature of 155°C instead of the standard 65°C ofa C19, and is typically used in high powered blade servers, large network routers, and other IT equipment that draws more power than a standard C13 can accommodate.

The Europe CEE7/16 2Pin is a 2 pole, ungrounded plug that is rated for 250V and 2.5A. Also known as the Europlug, this is physically not compatible with similar looking receptacles installed in the UK and Ireland, due to protection against over current and conflicting legislative safety standards.

The IEC 60320 C7 Polarized is rated for 250VAC and 2.5 Amps. It is the "polarized" version of the C7, meaning the configuration was slightly modified to prevent mating with an inlet in either direction. This is required for products that are not internally wired to accept the line/load in either direction. The reason for this distinction is added ease of use for the customer, although some manufacturers do not take the extra step in order to keep their costs down.

The NEMA 5-1R connector mates with a NEMA 5-15P plug (the standard plug used in residential homes in North America. Rated at 125V and 15amps. The NEMA 5-15R connector is typically used in an extension cord or a cable adapter.

The NEMA L5-15R is a twist-locking NEMA connector that is rated for 125VAC and 15 Amps of power in North America. The Twist Lock configuration can lock into place by twisting the plug and connector after mating. This is an effective solution for high-traffic areas and powering equipment like electrical motors that should not be unplugged under load.

The NEMA L5-20R is a twist-locking NEMA connector that is rated for 125VAC and 20 Amps of power in North America. The Twist Lock configuration can lock into place by twisting the plug and connector after mating. This is an effective solution for high-traffic areas and powering equipment like electrical motors that should not be unplugged under load.

The NEMA L6-20 Connector is rated for 250V and 20A. It is wired as HOT-HOT-GROUND, meaning this connector does not have a neutral conductor. L6-20 and L6-30 connectors are commonly found on in-rack power distribution units in applications where the main supply voltage is greater than 120 V. The locking capability and high power output also makes these connectors common in industrial settings for powering large equipment.

Use a proper voltage converter along with a power plug adapter if your device is incompatible with the country's voltage.

The IEC 60320 C14 is a grounded 3 Wire Plug rated up to 250V and 15 Amps. The C14 mates with a C13 outlet, typically found on Data Center/IT specific PDUs (Power Distribution Unit). The most common configuration for a C14 is in a jumper cable scenario, providing power from a PDU to IT Equipment.

The IEC 60320 C20 is a grounded 3 Wire Plug rated up to 250V and 20 Amps. The C20 mates with a C19 outlet, typically found on Data Center/IT specific PDUs (Power Distribution Unit). The most common configuration for a C20 is in a jumper cable scenario, providing power from a PDU to a blade server chassis, high powered server, large network router, or similar device.

The NEMA 1-15P is a 2 Wire 2 Blade ungrounded plug rated at 125V and 15 Amps in North America. The use of NEMA 1-15R (the receptacle matching the 1-15P) is discontinued in new home installations in the U.S (since 1962). NEMA 1-15P are compatible with the NEMA 5-15R outlet.

The NEMA 5-15P is a 3 Wire grounded plug featuring two blades (can be equal or unequal widths due to the ground pin forcing polarity) and one ground pin rated up to 125V AC and 15 Amps. The NEMA 5-15P is your standard household plug used for to connect small appliances such as TV's, Microwaves, hairdryers, etc to a wall outlet. The NEMA 5-15P is compatible with a Nema 5-20R T-Slot outlet, which is commonly found in new home installations.

The NEMA 5-20P is a 3 Wire grounded plug featuring two blades and one ground pin rated up to 125V AC and 20 Amps. The NEMA 5-20P is used in applications that require higher power draw such as large refrigerators, space heaters,large kitchen mixers, etc. The 5-20R T-SLot receptacle allows you to plug in either a 5-20P or a 5-15P plug, allowing greater flexibility. In modern home installations, 5-20R T-Slot receptacles are often used when 20A circuits are installed due to flexibility of being downward compatable with the 5-15P.

The NEMA 6-20P is a 3 Wire grounded plug featuring two blades and one ground pin rated up to 250V AC and 20 Amps. The NEMA 6-20P has one horizontal blade and one vertical blade and mates with a 6-20R Outlet.

The plug (MALE) is a Type F Schuko CEE7/7. It fits both E (France) and F (European / Germany) type outlets (sockets). Available in straight or down/up angle orientation. The plug has two round pins (line and neutral) each 4.8 mm diameter, 19 mm long and spaced 19 mm apart. The plug also has two flat areas (top and bottom sides) and a female contact for the ground.
