Description
Introduction
The IEC C5 cloverleaf power cable is commonly used for connecting power to smaller electronic devices, such as laptop power supplies and some audio visual equipment. It features a three-pronged cloverleaf connector on one end and a standard UK three-pin plug on the other end. The three-pronged cloverleaf connector, also known as a C5 or "Mickey Mouse" connector, has three round openings that match the pins on the device's power input. It is designed for devices that require a lower power rating than those that typically use the larger C13 connector. On the other end of the cable, the standard UK three-pin plug conforms to the British Standard BS 1363 and is used with corresponding wall sockets in the UK. It has three rectangular prongs and may include safety features such as fuses and insulating sleeves.
When using the IEC C5 cloverleaf power cable, you would plug the three-pin end into the wall socket and the cloverleaf connector into the device's power input. This cable is specifically designed for devices that require the C5 connector and is commonly used with laptops and other small electronics.
