How they differ
IEC 60320 C9 cord connector Identify the exact C9 connector versus its mating C10 inlet from the equipment or cord documentation; do not select, adapt or install a mains-power connection from shape alone.
IEC 60320 C10 appliance inlet Identify the exact C10 appliance inlet versus its mating C9 connector from the equipment or cord documentation; do not select, adapt or install a mains-power connection from shape alone.

Interpower’s IEC 60320 overview identifies the C9 connector with the C10 inlet in the Class II 6 A coupler family.
Claim scope: V50 IEC appliance-coupler identification fact only; no wiring, energized-work, circuit selection, interchangeability, installation or safe-operation approval is inferred.
Interpower's Rev10-17 chart labels C9 as the cord connector paired with C10, in its Class II cold group. Its connector label explicitly says non-rewireable only.
Claim scope: Interpower Rev10-17 labelled C9 cord connector family; no exact manufacturer part
Bulgin's manufacturer overview describes the C9/C10 family as a 2-conductor system with 70 degrees C temperature context. This is not a terminal-position map.
Claim scope: Manufacturer educational family context; not actual population,positions,wholecordsuitability or current normative dimensional coverage.
