IEC 60320 C5 cord connector

IEC 60320 C5 is a grounded cord-side appliance-coupler connector paired with a C6 appliance inlet.

Also called C5 IEC C5 cloverleaf power connector

C5/C6 identification does not establish the appliance rating or whether a cord is approved for that product.

Look for

Look for the compact three-contact cloverleaf-style coupler and verify the C5/C6 designation in equipment documentation.

The useful distinction

Recognize it. Then verify it.

IEC 60320 C5 is a grounded cord-side appliance-coupler connector paired with a C6 appliance inlet. [C211A]

Interpower describes the IEC 60320 C5/C6 pair as having three contacts including a ground contact. [C211B]

SCHURTER identifies 6052.0043 as a cord set with a straight C5 connector; its photograph shows three recessed contact openings. [C211C]

For 6052.0043, SCHURTER lists UL/CSA 7 A at 125 VAC, 50/60 Hz. This is the named cord-set rating, not a universal C5 limit. [C211D]

The 6052.0043 sheet lists protection class I and 70 °C pin temperature; its separate operating-temperature field is −40 °C to 70 °C. [C211E]

The 6052.0043 variant row distinguishes the C5 connector from the North American NEMA 5-15 plug at the other end of the cord. [C211F]

Verified device list	Not included. Check exact device and accessory documentation.

No electrical replacement approval.

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

Identify the exact connector family and variant from the equipment or cable documentation.
Keep shape, contact count, protocol, electrical rating and device support as separate facts.
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.

Appliance-coupler recognition: next evidence check

Read the appliance or power-supply input label, the approved cord specification and the local plug requirements separately. No universal C5 current rating, inspected cable, terminal map, exact housing dimensions or approval for a particular appliance. Sources: C211C, C211D, C211E, C211F. The original study is qualitative; independent technical and rights review remains pending.
