UK Type G mains lead to IEC C15

A UK Type G mains cable to IEC C15 connects a UK Type G mains supply to appliances fitted with an IEC 60320 C16 appliance socket. The C15 connector belongs to the high-temperature appliance family and is used when a higher temperature rating is required compared to standard C13 applications.

The DINIC connection cable offered in this category is 1.80 m long, features an H05V2V2 cable with 3G 1.0 mm² conductors, an integrated 10 A fuse in the UK Type G plug, and holds an ASTA approval.

IEC C15 and C16 – which fit together?

IEC C15 refers to the connector on the power cable. The corresponding counterpart on the appliance is an IEC 60320 C16 appliance socket.

You should therefore always check the shape and marking of the existing appliance socket before placing an order.

C15 instead of C13 – when does this make sense?

C15 is used when a device has a C16 socket or when a connection suitable for higher temperature loads is required for hot appliances.

As a technical guide, C15 is typically classified for applications up to 120 °C. However, the specifications of the specific appliance and cable always take precedence.

C13 or C15 – choosing the right connection

Feature	IEC C13	IEC C15
Compatible appliance socket	IEC C14	IEC C16
Typical application	Standard IT, office and electrical equipment	Heat-generating equipment and applications subject to higher thermal loads
Typical IEC temperature range	up to approx. 70 °C	up to approx. 120 °C
Selection criterion	C14 device input available	C16 appliance inlet or higher temperature requirement

The temperature specifications serve as a technical guide within the IEC 60320 family. The marking and technical data of the specific appliance and cable are decisive.

UK Type G: integrated fuse and ASTA approval

The British Type G plug features an integrated fuse. The DINIC C15 mains cable offered here is fitted with a 10 A fuse.

For this specific product variant, ASTA approval is indicated for the UK target market. For international applications, you should always check whether the relevant product approval complies with the requirements of the target country.

Typical applications for UK mains cables with C15

C15 connection cables are suitable for professional equipment and systems where a C16 mains input is provided or where there are increased temperature requirements. Typical applications include:

technical equipment with an IEC C16 equipment socket
IT infrastructure and selected server applications
System integration and technical installations
Control cabinet and equipment manufacturing
Industry and technical operating environments
Equipment with high heat dissipation
UK roll-outs and British Type G infrastructure
Service and replacement cables for existing C16 equipment

H05V2V2-F for hot equipment applications

The H05V2V2-F cable is designed for applications with higher temperature requirements and is therefore suitable for use with the C15 hot-equipment coupler.

However, when selecting a cable, the equipment specifications, current consumption and the technical data of the specific cable must always be taken into account.

For B2B, equipment manufacturing and project business

UK-C15 cables are of particular interest to technical procurement departments, equipment manufacturers, system integrators and projects where a defined C16 equipment connection must be combined with a British Type G mains supply.

Custom-made and series production requirements

For project and volume production requirements, customised mains connection cables can also be assessed depending on technical requirements. These include, for example, non-standard cable lengths, colours, conductor cross-sections, markings or packaging specifications.

Frequently asked questions about UK mains cables to IEC C15

Which appliance socket is compatible with IEC C15?

The IEC 60320 C15 plug is connected to an IEC 60320 C16 appliance socket.

What is the difference between C13 and C15?

C13 is the widely used standard ‘cold appliance’ plug for C14 sockets. C15 is the ‘hot appliance’ version for C16 sockets and is designed for higher temperature loads.
