IEC 60320 C15 hot-condition cord connector

IEC 60320 C15 is the cord-connector side of the C15/C16 hot-condition appliance-coupler pairing.

Also called C15 IEC C15 hot condition connector

The hot-condition family distinction matters; a similar rectangular appliance coupler is not automatically interchangeable.

Look for

Read the connector designation and the equipment inlet designation instead of relying on a familiar three-contact outline.

What to look for

C15 hot-condition cord-end designation for C16 inlet

What the drawing does not prove

The letter labels are the reliable distinction here; face openings and hot-condition key not modeled.

Temperature class, grounding, ratings and equipment instructions must be checked. Do not substitute a cord by appearance.

No fabrication dimensions, conductor routing, guaranteed fit or device approval. For electrical, power and optical interfaces, follow the original equipment instructions.

Figure evidence, orientation & usage rights

Uses previously recorded V112 manufacturer claim/source inspections; October 2026 supplementary public-source spot checks are documented separately, not treated as a refreshed approval.

Original Port & Cable interpretive vector, no third-party photo, copied CAD, logo or vendor drawing. Third-party product photos, logos and source drawings are not redistributed. No independent technical or rights certification is claimed.

The useful distinction

Recognize it. Then verify it.

IEC 60320 C15 is the cord-connector side of the C15/C16 hot-condition appliance-coupler pairing. [C181A]

SCHURTER 4781 is catalogued as an IEC C15 hot-condition cord connector; the observed product photos and datasheet identify a cable-side component, not both ends of a mains cord. [C181B]

The SCHURTER 4781 datasheet identifies a 120°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. [C181C]

SCHURTER's documented IEC C15 product family identifies the complementary C16 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. [C181D]

Exact source example 4781.0000: construction: Straight rewireable cord connector; black housing; protection class I. pin temperature c: 120. 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. [C181E]

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

Rewireable hot-condition cord-side component with a 120°C pin-temperature classification. Check appliance requirements and source-defined hot-condition cordset, not just shape. Not established: Installed cable heat rating, regional plug, assembled cordset safety. Refer to source S586; no wiring, electrical installation or fit is certified.
