P216 / Power / Connector
IEC 60320 C18 is the equipment-side inlet that mates with a C17 cord connector.
Also called C18 IEC C18
An IEC 60320 inlet designation must be matched to the product documentation, not guessed from silhouette.
Confirm the C18 inlet designation and equipment rating before choosing a cord-side connector.

Inspect view & provenance (private workspace)The useful distinction
IEC 60320 C18 is the equipment-side inlet that mates with a C17 cord connector. [C216A]
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. [C216B]
SCHURTER lists 6102.3200 as a screw-mounted, protection-class-II C18 inlet variant with quick-connect terminals; 6102.3100 is separately listed with solder terminals. [C216C]
The left contact-facing drawing on page 2 of the 6102-3 datasheet shows two blade contacts within the inlet opening and a mounting hole on each side; profile, rear and panel-cutout views are separate. [C216D]
The 6102-3 datasheet states IEC 10 A / 250 VAC at 50 Hz and UL/CSA 15 A / 250 VAC at 60 Hz, and identifies the C18 inlet as protection class II with a 70 °C pin-temperature classification. [C216E]

Before you connect
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.
The 6102-3 study follows the contact-facing series drawing associated with 6102.3200. Its front outline does not identify rear terminals, a gasket, an equipment model or a compatible retaining mechanism. The separate variant row is part of the identification.
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.
