SSEMCO Power Guide
What makes these products stand out?
The P-Lock, P-Lite and S-Lock Products are known for their durability and reliability for creating a secure connection for critical power sources. The overall trend of the industry seems to be pointing towards products and solutions that are quality based, rather than cheap and dirty. Project Managers managing IT Rooms and large scale Data Centers, are focused on creating Racks that not only can function to the highest capacity, but also look professional and are as reliable as possible. These Products offer this with the highest quality locking power solution on the market, that is also easy on the eyes.
What are some of the key benefits of a SSEMCO Product?
P-Lock
The plugs are not only capable of withstanding up to 120N of withdrawing force, but they are also backwards compatible. This means you can update your cords before your PDU, to prep for the future without having to immediatly upgrade your PDU or Inlets.
S-Lock
These connectors are featured both on the Dual-Locking, and the S-Lock Product Lines. Its Next-Gen Rotary Locking Feature allows for High Density Locking where other solutions fail! When engaged, the connector will internally pinch the exposed pins of the inlet, holding it in place and improving power connection reliability.
P-Lite
The P-Lite Series offers the same incredible features of the P-Lock, with the engineering advancements to keep your Power Supply Cords future-proof for High Density PDUs. The new plug design, comes in a fraction of the bulk with a slimmer and more ergonomic Plug Head. This Series was designed with High Density PDUs in mind, and can be easily mated and unmated in those applications.
What is the difference between the P-Lock and the P-Lite Power Cables?
The P-Lock was the original solution designed for a secure locking power connection. As the popularity and use cases of the product grew, along with the density of devices in Data Centers, it became aparent that High Density solutions were required to keep up with industry demands. High Density Power Distribution Units provide many more power outlets in the same amount of space, however it can be difficult to fit your fingers into the plug connection to securely disconnect or connect the plug head. To solve this, SSEMCO released the P-Lite, which is designed with High Density connections in mind! The recessed plug head allows for an ergonomic grip in High Density applications.

IEC 60320 C14 P-Lock
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 IEC 60320 C14 is typically used with either 18awg SVT, 18awg SJT(OW), 16awg SJT(OW) or 14awg SJT(OW). The types of cordages used will change the rating of the overall cord set. The P-Lock feature securely locks the plug into place when used with a standard C13 inlet. The Locking Plug helps ensure a secure connection between the cable and the pdu, reducing accidental power loss to equipment due to loose connections.
IEC 60320 C20 P-Lock
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.
IEC 60320 C14 P-Lite
The IEC 60320 C14 P-Lite is designed with High Density in mind. It uses the same locking technology as the P-Lock, with one side of the plug recessed to allow for easy grasping for mating and unmating. This plug is UL Certified, and is rated for temperatures from -20C to 70C. It is available with 18awg, 16awg and 14awg wire configurations. The P-Lite series have been tested for Flammability and are approved UL94V-2 or Better. The plug is backwards compatible with any standard IEC 60320 C13 Outlet, but will not mechanically lock into place without an accepted locking outlet mentioned above.
IEC 60320 C13 S-Lock
The IEC 60320 C13 S-Lock is rated for up to 250V and 15A. It features a patented unique rotary switch that can fit any standard C20 Inlet, with a low profile allowing for High Density applications. This connector is UL Certified, and is rated for temperatures from -20C to 70C.
IEC 60320 C15 S-Lock
The IEC 60320 C15 S-Lock is rated for up to 250V and 15A. It features a patented unique rotary switch that can fit any standard C14/C16 Inlet, with a low profile allowing for High Density applications. This connector is UL Certified, and is rated for temperatures from -20C to 70C.
IEC 60320 C19 S-Lock
The IEC 60320 C19 S-Lock is rated for up to 250V and 15A. It features a patented unique rotary switch that can fit any standard C20 Inlet, with a low profile allowing for High Density applications. This connector is UL Certified, and is rated for temperatures from -20C to 70C.
