IEC 60309 320P6 2P+E 6H BLUE PLUG to C13 LOCKING 15A 250V 14awg SJT cULus North America Power Cord

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.

What does the IEC 60309 320P6 IP44 Plug into?

The IEC 60309 320P6 IP44 Splashproof plug is designed to plug into its matching IEC 60309 320C6 IP44 Blue Connector. This can be found on power cords, power drops, and temporary power supply boxes in industrial, commercial and construction settings.

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 A-Lock feature can be used on any standard C14 inlet, it can be disconnected by pulling back on the red tabs on the side of connector head.

What does the IEC 60320 C13 Auto Lock Connect to?

The IEC 60320 C13 Auto Lock is a universal locking connector. This means that it can be connected to any standard IEC 60320 C14 Plug or Inlet.
