IEC created a plug and socket zone that is both informative and practical, start exploring. Select a location, electric potential or frequency to discover what plug type(s), voltage and frequency are used there.

A power cord with a suitable power plug (for the locality where the appliance is being used) on one end and a C13 connector (connecting to the appliance) on the other is commonly called an IEC cord. There are also a variety of splitter blocks, splitter cables, and similar devices available.

IEC connectors are electrical power connectors specified by IEC standards. The term may refer to connectors specified by:

IEC 60309 (formerly IEC 309 and CEE 17, also published by CENELEC as EN 60309) is a series of international standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for "plugs, socket-outlets and couplers for industrial purposes".

The IEC 60320 C18 is a non grounded 2 Wire plug rated up to 250V & 10 Amps Internationally or 125V/250V & 15 Amps in North America. The C18 mates with a C17 inlet and was commonly used with early 90s electrical power supplies.

2025年1月4日 · There are currently 15 types of domestic electrical outlet plugs in use worldwide, each of which has been assigned a letter by the US Department of Commerce International Trade Administration (ITA), starting with A and moving through the alphabet.

Understanding the differences between various types of IEC plugs is essential for selecting the right one for your specific application. Each plug has distinct features and compatibility specifications.

Examine the IEC 60309 (IEC 309) reference chart to find international plugs and connectors specifications. IEC 60309 plugs and connectors use different pin configurations for different amperages and voltages.

IEC connectors or plugs are a broad category of different types of electronic and electrical power connectors that meet the International Electrotechnical Commission standards (IEC standards).

2024年2月27日 · An IEC power cord, also known as an IEC connector, is a standardized type of power cable used to connect electrical appliances to the main power supply. It consists of a plug, which inserts into a power outlet, and a socket, which receives the plug on the appliance.
