The IEC C13 connector is a standardized three-pin AC power connector conforming to the IEC 60320 electrical coupler system standard. As the female end of the power cord, it is mated to the IEC C14 input interface on equipment, providing a reliable AC power connection for powered devices. The C13 connector is designed to meet international safety and performance standards, with voltages up to 250VAC.
With its polarized design, grounded three-pin layout, and robust construction, the C13 connector is one of the most widely used power connectors globally. It is ideal for powering desktop computers, monitors, servers, printers, UPS systems, network equipment, and many office or consumer electronics products that rely on detachable power cords for maintenance and global compatibility.

C13 Outlet FAQ
The IEC C13 is a three‑pin power connector on the female side of a power cord that plugs into a compatible C14 inlet on equipment to deliver AC mains power.
IEC C13 connectors are typically rated for up to 250 VAC and around 10 A internationally, and in North America they’re often specified up to 15 A when used with approved cable assemblies.
They’re most commonly found on power cords for computers, monitors, printers, servers, UPS units, and networking devices — basically any standard IT or office equipment that needs a detachable power cable.
The C13 connects to a C14 inlet mounted on the equipment chassis, forming a widely accepted AC power connection worldwide.
Yes, it has three pins including earth/ground, so it provides a grounded connection for safety.
Its global standardization under IEC 60320, reliable performance up to moderate power levels, and wide availability make C13 one of the most popular connectors for general‑purpose equipment worldwide.
