Frequently Asked Questions
What devices use an IEC 60320 C5 power cord?
IEC 60320 C5 cables are commonly used with laptop power adapters, projectors, and compact electronic equipment that require a three-pin AC input connection.
Is this cable compatible with all laptop chargers?
No. Compatibility depends on the AC input connector on the adapter. Your charger must use an IEC 60320 C5 inlet.
What is the difference between C5 and C13 power cords?
IEC C5 uses a three-pin cloverleaf design commonly found on laptop adapters, while IEC C13 is a larger connector commonly used for desktop computers, monitors, and servers.
Can this cable replace a missing laptop adapter power cord?
Yes, if your laptop adapter uses an IEC 60320 C5 AC input connection and the wall outlet matches the NEMA 5-15P plug standard.
Does this cable convert voltage?
No. This is only an AC power connection cable and does not convert voltage. The connected power adapter or device must support the local AC input voltage.
