The IEC 320 C14 Panel Mount AC Power Inlet Socket is a heavy-duty, 3-pin male connector standard designed to handle secure, high-voltage electrical connections. Operating safely at up to 250V AC with a 10A current capacity, this component features thick copper alloy pins that maximize electrical conductivity and prevent overheating. Its robust thermoplastic housing meets UL 94V-0 flammability standards, providing excellent thermal protection and impact resistance in demanding operating environments. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Designed with flanking screw flanges, this chassis-mount socket facilitates strong physical integration onto panels or equipment housings. The compact rear profile exposes three straight solder tabs (Line, Neutral, and Ground), allowing for precise hardwiring or custom PCB connections. This item serves as a universal replacement part or input interface for consumer electronics, office hardware, and industrial instrumentation. [1, 6, 7, 8]
