The IEC 60320 C15 power cord receptacle, often called a “C15 inlet” or “locking connector,” provides a more robust connection for higher-powered devices compared to the C7. Here’s a breakdown of its features and the mentioned approvals:
.Features:
- IEC 60320 C15 Connector: This three-prong connector has a rectangular shape with two flat prongs and a round grounding pin.
- Receptacle: The female end that accepts the male plug from the power cord.
- Locking Mechanism: The C15 features a locking mechanism to prevent accidental disconnection, crucial for high-power equipment.
- VDE, CCC, SAA, KC, PSE, UL, CCC Approvals: Similar to the C7 receptacle, these certifications ensure adherence to safety and quality standards in various regions:
- VDE (Germany)
- CCC (China)
- SAA (Australia)
- KC (South Korea)
- PSE (Japan)
- UL (United States)
- CCC (China, again)
Applications:
- Powering demanding electronic devices with C15 plugs in countries recognizing these certifications.
- Suitable for applications with higher power requirements, typically up to 10 Amps or more.
- Commonly used with computers, servers, workstations, network equipment, industrial machinery, and other professional tools.
Alternatives:
- IEC 60320 C13 Receptacle: A non-locking version of the C15, common for computers and similar devices.
- IEC 60320 C19 Receptacle: An even larger connector for industrial equipment with even higher power needs.
