The IEC C14 connector is a power input interface conforming to the IEC 60320-2 standard. It is widely used in various electrical devices as a male AC power input interface with a rated current of 10-15 A and a rated voltage of 250 VAC. Compliant with international standards, the C14 connector serves as a power input interface on the device side and can be used with C13 power cables, providing a safe and detachable power connection for numerous electronic devices.

The C14 connector is robust, durable, and highly reliable, featuring a flame-retardant nylon shell and nickel-plated brass contacts, offering excellent conductivity and abrasion resistance. They meet global safety certifications (UL/CE/CCC/TUV/KC) and are widely used in various devices, including computers, monitors, office peripherals, medical devices, fitness equipment, power adapters, and other industrial electronic products.

C14 FAQ

An IEC C14 is a male power inlet conforming to IEC 60320 standards. It’s usually mounted on devices and accepts a matching C13 cord for AC mains power delivery.

Standard IEC C14 connectors are rated up to 250 V AC and typically 10 A or 15 A, depending on certification and regional requirements.

You can use a C14 inlet on products designed for mains-powered operation that meet its voltage/current ratings. They’re common on computers, printers, monitors, power supplies, and similar electronics.

Lanz IEC C14 parts use high-quality flame-retardant materials and plated brass contacts, which improve safety, conductivity, and lifespan in demanding environments.

No, C14 is the device inlet (male), while C13 is the cord end (female) that plugs into the C14 inlet.
