Product FAQs
What is IEC 60320?
IEC 60320, aka IEC 320, is an international standard for appliance couplers — connectors that allow detachable power cords. It defines a series of plug and connector types, like C13/C14 and C19/C20.
What's the difference between C13 and C14?
C13 is the female connector (cable-end), and C14 is the matching male inlet (device-end). This pairing is typically rated for 10A internationally, and 15A in North America.
How are IEC part numbers assigned?
Even-numbered codes (e.g., C14, C20) refer to male inlets; odd-numbered codes (e.g., C13, C19) refer to female connectors. They are designed to mate with each other (e.g., C14 + C13).
Why do amperage ratings differ by region?
In North America, IEC inlets often support higher amperage due to different safety and wiring standards. For example, a C14 is 10A internationally but 15A in North America.
Can I use an IEC 60320 plug internationally?
Yes, the connectors are standardized worldwide. However, make sure the cord set matches the local plug type and voltage requirements on the wall side.
