The useful distinction

Recognize it. Then verify it.

IEC 60320 C17 is a non-grounded cord-side appliance-coupler connector paired with a C18 inlet. [C215A]

Interpower identifies C17/C18 as a Class II pair for applications not requiring a ground path; V40 normalizes that as a two-pole, no-protective-earth boundary. [C215B]

SCHURTER identifies 3-101-794 as a molded C17 V-Lock cord set with a North American NEMA 1-15 plug, 3.0 m black SJT 2x18 AWG cable. [C215C]

The 3-101-794 technical-data row states a UL/CSA rating of 10 A / 125 VAC at 50/60 Hz. [C215D]

The 3-101-794 datasheet photograph shows two recessed openings on the C17 cord end and a visible top release control; its V-Lock note requires a matching retention combination. [C215E]

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.

C17 is the cord end, not the complete power decision.

The named 3-101-794 example is an assembled North American power cord. Its oblique-photo study shows the C17 end and visible release control, not a universal C17 housing or a certified matching latch. Read the assembly rating separately from the inlet classification.

Read the source before selecting a connection

Use /field-sheets/c17-c18-power-recognition/ for the illustrated comparison. Keep connector role, exact variant, retaining system and cord-set rating separate. Neither artwork nor a passing reference check approves live testing, rewiring, substitution or installation.
