Labelled oblique C2 appliance inlet illustration in Interpower Rev10-17 Connectors/Inlets columns; not a dimensioned or numbered mating-face drawing.

Source-scoped identification facts

Each value retains its exact example, role and measurement axis. Facts from different parts must not be combined into an invented component.

Unknowns stay unknown.

  • Exact part,mechanical dimensions,pitch,numbered positions and actual specimen population remain unknown.
  • The explicit conductor count is retained as source context; it is not converted into an inferred normalized contact-count value.
  • No wiring,energization,safe mating or arbitrary equipment approval. Historical/source-family ratings remain separate from exact product ratings.
