What are IEC C14 Connectors?
An IEC C14 connector is sometimes referred to as a ’cold’ connector. The IEC panel plug is a 3 wire two pole connector, neutral, earth and live. The C14 male connectors have a rated current of 10A and a maximum temperature rating of 70°C. This series of connectors conform to a recognised set of specifications called IEC-60320. The regulations are laid down by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). This ensures they meet common global design standards.
Applications
The RS PRO C14 panel connectors are suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. The electrical connectors are designed to mate with C13 cable mount rewireable connectors. Some of the more common applications for the mains power connectors include
• Desktop computers
