RS PRO IEC C19 Socket to CEE 7/7 Plug Power Cord, 2m

RS Pro Schuko Plug to IEC C19 Power Cord

From RS Pro a high quality and durable power cable assembly or power cord for connecting an appliance to a mains power supply. This power cord is fully equipped with a Schuko 2-pin mains plug on one end and an IEC C19 type connector on the other that connects to the appliance. The power lead features an integrated strain relief that provides additional protection and support to the connector in the event of excessive bending

What is a power cable assembly?

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.

What is a Schuko plug?

This cable assembly is terminated one end with a Schuko plug which is one of the primary European AC plug types. The Schuko plug types have 2 pins and are commonly used in european countries such as Switzerland, Denmark, Italy and Germany. Although uncommon on UK appliances and machines, the Schuko can still be a common occurrence, especially with items such as shavers and chargers.

What is an IEC C19 Connector?

The other end of the power cord is terminated with a fully moulded IEC C19 plug which is used to connect the power cord to an appliance that has a C20 inlet. IEC connectors conform to IEC-60320 specifications laid down by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) to ensure the connectors meet common global design standards

Harmonised Cable

This power lead has a H05VV-F harmonised cable which means it belongs to the Harmonised reference system and conforms to the European Harmonisation Standard. This purpose of this standard is to improve standards and quality of cables across Europe to ensure the trade of common standard product.

Features and Benefits

• Flexible and durable H05VV-F harmonised cable with stranded wire core and PVC insulation and sheath
• Schuko (Euro) 2-pin plug
• Fully moulded IEC C19 connector for strength and durability
• Reliable integrated strain relief for connection support and protection

What is This Cable Assembly Used With?

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

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

IEC and International Leads

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.
