The IEC C8 is a two-pin AC power input socket conforming to the IEC 60320 standard for low-power AC connections. It works with the matching C7 “figure-eight” power cord, providing a compact and reliable AC power input for devices without a grounding pin.
Characteristically distinctive in its figure-eight shape, the C8 input socket is rated for approximately 2.5A (250VAC) according to international standards and is widely used in lightweight consumer electronics. Its compact size makes it ideal for portable power supplies, laptop chargers, televisions, audio-visual equipment, game consoles, and other double-insulated devices that do not require a grounding connection.

C8 Inlet 2p FAQ
It’s a two‑pin AC mains inlet defined in the IEC 60320 standard, designed to accept a matching C7 figure‑8 power cord on powered equipment.
The mating shape of the connector resembles the number “8” or an infinity symbol, so it’s commonly referred to as a “figure‑8” connector.
Standard IEC C8 inlets are rated up to 2.5 A at 250 VAC in most applications. In North America, higher UL/CSA ratings may allow up to around 10 A at 125 VAC.
No, C8 connectors do not have a ground pin and are used in double‑insulated devices where a protective earth connection isn’t required.
You’ll find them on portable electronics like laptop power adapters, TVs, audio gear, and game consoles where compact, ungrounded power entry works well.
Some C8/C7 combinations are non‑polarized, letting you plug in either orientation, while polarized versions only fit one way for correct line/live orientation.
