Frequently Asked Questions
What is a "Figure 8" connector?
"Figure 8" refers to the look of the IEC (60320) C7 socket connector when looking directly at the end of it. It is often used as a mains power connector for lower-current double-insulated appliances (where no earth connection is required). It is rated to a maximum 2.5A @ 230V AC.
As per the IEC (60320) standard, the plug or inlet is called a 'C8'. It is very rare to see a C8 plug, as it is more commonly the inlet on a piece of equipment or Switchmode DC power supply. On occasion, we can source an adaptor with a C8 plug, and a C13 or other socket as a 'Block' adaptor.
What is a "Clover" connector?
"Clover" refers to the look of the IEC (60320) C5 socket connector when looking directly at the end of it. It is also referred to as a 'Mickey Mouse connector' due to its look.
It is often used as a mains power connector for lower-current appliances, especially ones with Switchmode DC power suppliers. It is rated to a maximum 2.5A @ 230V AC.
As per the IEC (60320) standard, the plug or inlet is called a 'C6'. It is very rare to see a C6 plug, as it is more commonly the inlet on a piece of equipment or Switchmode DC power supply. On occasion we can source an adaptor with a C6 plug, and a C13 or other socket as a 'Block' adaptor.
