From RS Pro a high quality and durable power cable assembly or power cord for connecting an appliance to a UK mains power supply. This power cord is fully equipped with a UK BS1363 3 pin mains plug on one end and an IEC C19 type connector on the other that connects to the appliance. The cable features integrated strain reliefs that provide additional protection and support to the connectors and prevent damage caused by excessive bending

Power cable assemblies are electrical cables that are pre-terminated with a plug or socket connector. Power cable assemblies can be terminated with connectors on both ends of the cable, or just one. Depending on the application, there are various types to suit a wide range of requirements.

This power cord is terminated with a fully moulded IEC C19 plug which is used to connect the power cord to a C20 inlet in the appliance. These C19 and C20 connectors have three pins, a 16 A current rating and a maximum operating temperture range of 70°C. IEC connectors conform to IEC-60320 specifications laid down by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) to ensure the connectors meet common global design standards

• Flexible and durable H05VV-F harmonised cable with stranded wire cores and PVC insulation and sheath
• UK BS1363 mains plug with 13 A fuse
• IEC C19 socket connector wth 16 A current rating
• Fully moulded connectors for strength and durability
• Integrated strain relief for connection support and protection

IEC C19 power cords or leads are used in Appliance Class I IT and computer equipment and applications where higher currents are required. These applications include the following:

• High-power workstations and servers
• Uninterruptible power supplies
• Power distribution units
• Large network routers
• Switches

IEC to BS1363 Plugs

A range of electrical appliance connecting leads, the majority of which are terminated with connectors that conform to IEC 60320. The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is the international standards and conformity assessment body. The drawing illustrates the range of connector types offered within this section - The 'odd' 'C' numbers refer to a socket type connector - mains input - and the 'even' 'C' numbers refer to a plug type connector - the appliance inlet.
