Product description

The DINIC CB-3-US power cable is designed to supply power to devices with an IEC 60320-C6 appliance inlet via a North American NEMA 5-15 connector. On the mains side, the power cable features a 3-pin NEMA 5-15P Type B plug; on the appliance side, it features an IEC 60320 C5 plug.

Due to its shape, the IEC C5 connector is also known as a cloverleaf plug. The 3-pin design enables the protective earth connection to the corresponding C6 appliance socket.

The black SVT cable is constructed with three fine-stranded 18 AWG conductors. With a length of 1.80 m, the cable is suitable, amongst other things, for powering appropriately equipped IT and AV components, as well as for replacement, servicing and rollout applications.

Technical specifications

Compatibility

On the appliance side, the cable is designed for an IEC 60320-C6 appliance inlet. The matching counterpart on the cable is the 3-pin IEC 60320-C5 plug.

On the mains side, the cable is connected via a NEMA 5-15P plug (Type B). Before use, the appliance socket and the electrical requirements of the appliance to be connected must be checked against the cable specifications.

Selection and practical guidance

The appliance inlet is particularly relevant for selection: the IEC 60320 C5 on the cable is connected to an IEC 60320 C6 appliance inlet. The distinctive three-pole C5 design is often referred to as a ‘cloverleaf’.

For procurement and project allocation, the specific item can be uniquely identified using the item number CB-3-US and the EAN 4032528012780.
