IEC 60320 C14 appliance inlet

IEC 60320 C14 is an appliance inlet commonly mated by a C13 cord connector.

Also called C14 IEC C14 computer power inlet

An inlet outline does not establish the connected equipment rating or approved cord set.

Look for

Confirm that the equipment side is the C14 inlet and verify the appliance nameplate before choosing a mating cord.

The useful distinction

Recognize it. Then verify it.

IEC 60320 C14 is an appliance inlet commonly mated by a C13 cord connector. [C180A]

SCHURTER 6100-3 is catalogued as an IEC C14 appliance inlet; the observed product photos and datasheet identify an equipment-side component, not both ends of a mains cord. [C180B]

The SCHURTER 6100-3 datasheet identifies a 70°C pin-temperature classification; this is a part/series rating under documented conditions, not an automatic rating for an appliance, installed cord or alternate product. [C180C]

SCHURTER's documented IEC C14 product family identifies the complementary C13 form in the cited mating-product references. Confirm the actual variants and full installed equipment/cordset documentation; no safe-fit or cable-load approval follows solely from that relationship. [C180D]

Exact source example 6100.3200: construction: Screw-on front/rear panel inlet; 4.8 x0.8 mm quick-connect terminals; protection class I. pin temperature c: 70. rating: IEC10 A; UL/CSA15 A at250 VAC. Exact listed order number; regional ratings remain distinct. No physical compatibility, pin map or hardware validation is established. [C180E]

Use the source-backed form or position count only for identification. Resolve ratings, protocol, direction, wiring, cable construction and exact device support from the relevant equipment and component documentation.

Before you connect

What to check

  1. Identify the exact connector family and variant from the equipment or cable documentation.
  2. Keep shape, contact count, protocol, electrical rating and device support as separate facts.
  3. Do not force, rewire or adapt a connector from this recognition record; resolve the remaining requirements first.
Trace a supported connection class →

What is not established

This field note does not approve a connection, adapter, cable assembly, rewiring scheme or fabricated part. It intentionally omits unsupported pin assignments and mechanical tolerances.

V141 manufacturer example and safe interpretation

Screw-mounted equipment inlet, not a cord connector. Read equipment inlet designation and nameplate; inspect whether sealing kit is present. Not established: Equipment rating, sealing status of the installed variant and approved cordset. Refer to source S585; no wiring, electrical installation or fit is certified.
