IEC 60320 flush-mounted sockets
In this category, you will find IEC 60320 screw-type recessed sockets and recessed plugs for permanent installation in equipment, enclosures, power supplies, control units, distribution boards and industrial applications. The variants listed on this page cover common designs such as C6, C8, C14, C19 and C20 and are suitable for standardised equipment inlets in professional environments.
Depending on the version, the rear connection is made via flat plug contacts for suitable flat plug sockets or via a solder connection. This allows the flush-mounted sockets to be selected to suit the respective design, the assembly process and the intended application.
Particularly for power connections in equipment manufacturing, secure fastening, the correct IEC form factor and reliable contact are essential. These screw-type power mounting sockets are designed precisely for this purpose.

IEC 60320 flush-mounted sockets for equipment manufacturing, power supplies and industrial applications
IEC 60320 flush-mounted sockets are used when a mains connection needs to be permanently integrated into a device or enclosure. As screw-in sockets, they offer a robust and service-friendly solution for many professional applications – for example, in power supplies, laboratory equipment, machinery, IT components, 19-inch systems, enclosures and industrial control systems.
The key factors in selection are the appropriate IEC form factor, the mounting type and the correct connection on the rear. In this category, you will find common variants such as C6, C8, C14, C19 and C20. Depending on the model, the connection is made via a flat plug sleeve or a solder connection. This allows the components to be optimally adapted to the respective device design and the manufacturing process.
What matters with IEC 60320 built-in sockets
- Suitable design: The built-in socket must fit the intended device interface and the corresponding mating connector.
- Mounting in the housing: Screw-type versions are particularly suitable for fixed and permanently loaded installation situations.
- Rear connection: Depending on the version, the connection is made via flat plug contacts or by soldering.
- Electrical requirements: Current consumption, voltage and operating range should always be suitable for the device and the application.
- Practical selection: Installation space, assembly process and ease of maintenance play an important role in the selection.
Typical applications
IEC 60320 power sockets are used wherever standardised equipment inlets are required. Typical areas include professional equipment manufacturing, industrial electronics, power supplies, laboratory environments, service technology, test benches and custom-made solutions in commercial and industrial settings.
Frequently asked questions about IEC 60320 flush-mounted sockets
What is an IEC 60320 built-in socket?
An IEC 60320 mounting socket is a mains connection socket permanently fitted to the device. It forms the defined interface between the device and the appropriate mains cable or counterpart.
When is a screw-in socket appropriate?
A screw-mounted version is advisable when a secure fastening, precise positioning within the housing and service-friendly installation are required.
What is the difference between a flat plug sleeve and a solder connection?
With a flat plug connection, a suitable flat plug sleeve is attached. With a solder connection, the wire is soldered directly. Which solution is more suitable depends on the device design and the assembly process.
Which IEC 60320 design is the right one?
The correct design depends on the intended mating connector, the available installation space and the electrical requirements of the application. It is always important to ensure the technically appropriate combination of mounting box, connection cable and area of application.
