Different types of connector (distinguished by shape and size) are specified for different combinations of current, temperature and earthing requirements. Unpolarized C7 connectors can be inserted into the polarized inlets; however, doing so might be a safety risk if the device is designed for polarized power. So, although they look similar, a 'real' kettle lead features a connector with a cut out on the top. But the feather in your cap was the excellent service yesterday when at 4:25pm, despite believing the deliveries had already been picked up, your sales representative went and checked, just to make sure.

First published October 31, 2014, this part initially included the standard sheets for both appliance couplers and interconnection couplers.The IEC 60320 AC power inlet is the most commonly used means of connecting a detachable cord set to electrical or electronic equipment. Appliance inlet: "part of the appliance coupler integrated as a part of an appliance or incorporated as a separate part in the appliance or equipment or intended to be fixed to it". for all my cables and they take about 3 weeks to deliver and never answer the phones or reply to e-mails. They are invaluable for use with critical equipment, either free-standing or rack-mounted and in areas subject to vibration, such as outside broadcast vehicles, touring and 'fly-away' kit, where standard connectors may become dislodged in transit.

This power cord is terminated with a fully moulded IEC plug which is used to connect the power cord to an appliance which has an IEC C14 inlet. Moulded right angled 10A IEC 320 cold condition socket to stripped, bare ends • Manufactured from 1mm 2 cable • For equipment up to 10A • Black in colour • 3. Ready made cables are also available, terminated to standard IEC male plugs, bare ends, UK 13A and SCHUKO CE7/7 (right-angle) plugs. Secure packing was provided and total transit time by International Post was very quick; in fact the goods arrived in Australia within 7 days including a weekend which is quicker than the local Postal Service can deliver between the major Australian States. Connector: "part of the appliance coupler integral with, or intended to be attached to, one cord connected to the supply".The LMS Data 13A heavy-duty horizontal high-density PDU uses the UK plug input connector which is ideal for many device requirements including server, network and other industrial-type equipment functions such as broadcast and HVAC applications. C14 inlets are also rated at 10A/250VAC international and 15A/250VAC North America with a temperature rating of up to 70°C.

Note: Cables with IEC C13 sockets such as this are sometimes known by the generic term 'kettle lead'.Unlike IEC 60309 connectors, they are not coded for voltage; users must ensure that the voltage rating of the equipment is compatible with the mains supply. Connectors are also classified according to the method of connecting the cord, either as rewirable connectors or non-rewirable connectors. The internal locking mechanism grips the earth pin in the male connector, preventing accidental removal of the cable connector. The C17/C18 coupler is often used in audio applications where a floating ground is maintained to eliminate hum caused by ground loops. I just wanted to say how professional and helpful your staff are even though I did not end up making a purchase as a new lead would not solve my problem.
