C14 to C15 Power Cord FAQ
What is the difference between C13, C14, and C15 connectors?
The C13 and C14 connectors are rated for up to 10A and 250V, commonly used in computer power supplies and other electronic devices. The C15 connector, on the other hand, is designed for high-temperature applications and has a higher temperature rating of up to 120°C (248°F). It is often used with electric kettles, networking equipment, and PoE switches with higher wattage power supplies.
Can you plug a C14 into a C15?
No, you cannot directly plug a C14 connector into a C15 inlet. However, you can use a C14 to C15 adapter to convert the connection. This adapter allows you to connect a C14 power cord to a device with a C15 inlet, ensuring compatibility between the two connectors.
Are C13 and C14 connectors interchangeable?
Yes, C13 and C14 connectors are interchangeable. A C13 connector can be plugged into a C14 inlet, and vice versa. This interchangeability allows for flexibility in power connections, making it easier to connect different devices without requiring specific matching connectors.
What is the difference between C15 and C16 connectors?
The C15 and C16 connectors are similar, but the C16 has a small notch below the ground pin, which distinguishes it from the C15. Additionally, the C16 connector has a higher temperature rating of 120°C (248°F), while the C15 is rated for up to 70°C (158°F).
Can I use a C15 power cord instead of a C13?
Yes, you can use a C15 power cord in place of a C13 cord, as the C15 connector can fit into both C16 and C14 inlets. However, it's important to note that higher-rated voltage power cords should only be used with lower-voltage equipment, not the other way around.
What is the maximum power rating of a C15 connector?
The C15 connector is rated for a maximum current of 15A and a voltage of 250V. This makes it suitable for high-power applications that require reliable and durable power delivery.
