The LZ-20-T1 is a robust, high-current AC plug connector designed to the international IEC 60320 C20 standard. It features the distinctive “figure-of-eight” or “cloverleaf” female inlet socket, which is mechanically keyed to mate exclusively with the corresponding male C19 plug, ensuring correct polarity and preventing accidental connection with lower-rated connectors. With a substantial current rating of 20 Amperes at 250 Volts, it is engineered to safely deliver up to 5,000 Watts of power, making it the standard power entry interface for high-wattage professional and industrial equipment.

This connector is a critical component for demanding applications where reliable, high-power delivery is non-negotiable. It is universally found on the rear panels of enterprise-grade servers, large network switches, data center power distribution units (PDUs), high-power audio amplifiers, industrial machinery, and medical imaging systems. The LZ-20-T1 is constructed for durability and safety, typically featuring a high-temperature, flame-retardant thermoplastic body (rated UL94V-0) and precision-machined, silver-plated brass contacts to ensure low resistance, minimal voltage drop, and reliable conductivity under continuous high load. Its panel-mount design allows for secure installation into equipment chassis, often utilizing a threaded metal nut or a snap-in retainer for vibration resistance.

A key feature of this model is its comprehensive suite of international safety approvals, including TÜV, CE, and UL certifications. These marks indicate that the connector has undergone rigorous independent testing by recognized bodies to comply with stringent European (ENEC) and North American (UL/CSA) safety standards for electrical insulation, temperature rise, mechanical strength, and fire resistance. This global approval portfolio ensures the LZ-20-T1 is acceptable for use in equipment destined for markets worldwide, simplifying the compliance process for manufacturers and providing end-users with verified safety assurance for their critical power connections
