About the product
Specification
Standard North American Design: The most common plug type used in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and other countries following NEMA standards.
Rating: Typically rated for 15 Amps at 125 Volts.
Applications: The universal plug for standard household and office appliances like lamps, computers, phone chargers, monitors, and small kitchen electronics.
Safety: The grounding pin provides a path for fault current, crucial for the safety of metal-cased appliances. The polarized blades (different widths) help ensure correct "hot" and "neutral" wiring.
Compatibility: Fits into the ubiquitous NEMA 5-15R receptacle found on walls and power strips across North America.
Distinctive Shape: Features three rounded, triangular-arranged pins that resemble a cloverleaf , which is its most recognizable characteristic.
Standard: This is an IEC 60320 standardized connector, specifically designated as the C5 inlet on the appliance and the C6 connector on the power cord.
Rating: Commonly rated for 2.5 Amps at 250 Volts or similar, designed for lower to moderate power devices.
Applications: Primarily used as the power input connector on laptop power adapters/AC-DC converters, smaller LCD monitors, some projectors, and certain gaming consoles.
Key Design Purpose: Its cloverleaf shape ensures a secure mechanical connection and prevents the use of standard, higher-ampereage cords, which helps match the cord's capacity to the device's lower power requirements.
