Mains connectors for use in most of Europe. 250 V∼, 6 A/10 A rating (see the individual connectors). Sockets and plugs comply to IEC 320, EN 60 320, CEE 22 and BS 4491 and cables comply to BS 6500 (1975). BASEC approved. Colour: black
What are IEC C20 Connectors?
An IEC C20 connector is sometimes referred to as a ’cold’ connector. The IEC plug is a 3 wire two pole connector, neutral, earth and live. The C20 male connectors have a rated current of 16A and a maximum temperature rating of 70°C. This series of connectors conform to a recognised set of specifications called IEC-60320. The regulations are laid down by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). This ensures they meet common global design standards.
