IEC C13 Socket

BS 1363 Plug

All cords have a country-specific plug on one end and an IEC socket on the other end. Use them with computers, lab equipment, and office machines that have IEC connections.

Cords with a 90° elbow plug fit flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.

Cords with a 90° elbow socket fit flush against equipment, so equipment can be pushed against a wall.

Locking International Electronic Equipment Power Cords

IEC C13 Socket

BS 1363 Plug

Create a vibration-resistant connection—the socket on these cords securely locks onto any male receptacle and will not detach until manually unlocked. They also have a 90° elbow plug that fits flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery and in other areas where space is tight. Use them with computers, lab equipment, and office machines that have IEC connections.

Swap the plug to match the outlet of the region you’re in instead of using separate cords for each country. These adapter cords convert AC voltage to power DC electronics. Designed with switching regulation, they maintain consistent voltage during power fluctuations and don’t get too hot. They meet U.S., Canadian, European, Australian, New Zealand, and Chinese safety standards.

A limited power source (LPS) low-voltage output decreases the risk of electric shock if something fails inside these cords. Class II shock protection means they have two levels of insulation. These cords meet U.S. DOE (Department of Energy) Level VI standards for energy efficiency when they're in-use, as well as when they're plugged in but not in use.

Choose an adapter cord with an output voltage that matches the voltage of your device. The polarity of the adapter cord and your device must also be the same. Look for the polarity illustration on your device or the adapter cord you’re replacing and pick a cord to match.
