A variety of different kinds of IEC 60320 plugs and sockets. IEC 60320 Appliance couplers for household and similar general purposes [1] is a set of standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) specifying non-locking connectors for connecting power supply cords to electrical appliances of voltage not exceeding 250 V (a.c.) and rated current not exceeding 16 A. [1 ...
Ratings of NEMA 5-15 (type B) plug marked on the label (left: 7 A 125 V), engagement face, and IEC 60320 C13 connector at the appliance end of the cord (centre, left: both 10 A 125 V) Plugs and power cords have a rated voltage and current assigned to them by the manufacturer. Using a plug or power cord that is inappropriate for the load may be ...
SlimPlug is available only as part of a complete power lead terminating in an IEC 60320 C7 unpolarized (figure-of-eight) connector. [86] In 2009 the ThinPlug received a "Red Dot" award [87] for product design. The first product, also a power lead terminating in an IEC 60320 C7 unpolarized (figure-of-eight) connector, [85] became available in 2011.
Industrial and multiphase plugs and sockets provide a connection to the electrical mains rated at higher voltages and currents than household plugs and sockets. They are generally used in polyphase systems, with high currents, or when protection from environmental hazards is required. Industrial outlets may have weatherproof covers ...
IEC connectors. IEC connectors are electrical power connectors specified by IEC standards. The term may refer to connectors specified by: Wikimedia Commons has media related to IEC connectors. IEC 62196, for electric vehicles. IEC 60309, for industrial purposes. IEC 60320, for appliance coupling, up to 250 V AC. IEC 60906-1, up to 250 V AC.
The M12 connector, specified in IEC 61076-2-101, is a circular electrical plug/receptacle pair with 12mm OD mating threads, used in NMEA 2000, DeviceNet, IO-Link, some kinds of Industrial Ethernet, etc. [16] [17] A disadvantage of the circular design is its inefficient use of panel space when used in arrays, when compared to rectangular connectors.

Contents. Gender of connectors and fasteners. In electrical and mechanical trades and manufacturing, each half of a pair of mating connectors or fasteners is conventionally assigned the designation male or female. [ 1 ] The female connector is generally a receptacle that receives and holds the male connector.
