C14+Single Fuse FAQ

A C14 + fuse is an IEC 60320 C14 power inlet combined with a built-in fuse holder. It allows equipment to connect to AC mains power while providing integrated overcurrent protection at the power entry point.

The fuse protects the device from electrical overloads and short circuits. If excessive current flows, the fuse blows and cuts power, helping prevent damage to internal components.

A C14 + fuse inlet is designed to mate with a standard IEC C13 power cord, which is widely used for computers, industrial equipment, and electronic devices.

Most C14 + fuse inlets are rated up to 250 VAC and 10 A, depending on the model and fuse used. Always verify the exact rating before installation.

Common fuse sizes include 5×20 mm or 6.3×32 mm, depending on the design. The fuse rating should match the electrical requirements of the device.

Yes. Because the C14 connector follows the IEC 60320 international standard, it supports global use with region-specific power cords while maintaining the same inlet design.

They are widely used in industrial equipment, power supplies, servers, medical devices, test instruments, and consumer electronics where safe and reliable AC power entry is required.

A C14 + Fuse reduces component count, saves panel space, and improves safety by integrating power input and fuse protection into one compact module.

Yes. Most C14 + Fuse designs include an accessible fuse drawer, allowing quick fuse replacement without opening the device enclosure.

When properly mounted and fused, C14 + Fuse inlets are suitable for industrial and commercial environments. For high-vibration applications, models with secure panel mounting are recommended.
