IEC 60309 320P6 BLUE PLUG to C13 15A 250V 14awg-3c SJT UL cUL BLACK North America Power Cords. IEC 60309 includes “plugs, socket-outlets and couplers for industrial purposes”. The IEC 60309 standard puts an emphasis on safety through a unique arrangement of pins and earth/ground to ensure that only compatible devices are able to mate. The pin and sleeve design of this standard provides some degree of weatherproofing, indicated by its IP (Ingress Protection) marking. The plugs used in this series are IP44 which provide splash-proof protection. Overall, this standard is common in open-air conditions where high power draw is required and protection from individuals, dust, water and chemicals is desired. 


12awg 3 Conductor SJT (Service Junior Thermoplastic) Cordage

12awg 3 Conductor SJT (Service Junior Thermoplastic) Cordage

12awg-3c cable is UL Rated to deliver 20A at up to 300V. However, the actual voltage is dependent on the types of male and female connectors used with the cable. For cord sets with IEC 60320 connectors on both ends, the cable is rated for 20A @ 125V and 20A @ 250V. Because these connectors are rated for use at either voltage, it is very important that you double check the voltages match between the PDU and the Equipment, otherwise, you may damage the equipment.

IEC 60320 C13 CONNECTOR (FEMALE)

IEC 60320 C13 CONNECTOR (FEMALE)

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?





IEC 60320 C14 Plug'

IEC 60320 C14 Inlet
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.

IEC 60309 320P6 IP44 Splashproof Plug

IEC 60309 320P6 IP44 Splashproof Plug

General Information:

IEC 60309 includes “plugs, socket-outlets and couplers for industrial purposes”. The IEC 60309 standard puts an emphasis on safety through a unique arrangement of pins and earth/ground to ensure that only compatible devices are able to mate. The pin and sleeve design of this standard provides some degree of weatherproofing, indicated by its IP (Ingress Protection) marking.  

IP44 is known as the "Splashproof" Rating, which breaks down to sealing against solids no smaller than 1.0mm and spraying water at the connection from any angle. Overall, this standard is common in open-air conditions where high power draw is required and protection from individuals, dust, water and chemicals is desired. The IP code, as defined by standard IEC 60529, classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solids and liquids.
