IEC C14 Male AC Power Inlet 250VAC 10A 3-Pin Right-Angle PCB Mount
The IEC C14 Male AC Power Inlet is a mains power entry connector designed to provide a standardized AC connection between an external power cord and electronic equipment. Its familiar three-contact C14 interface provides connections for line, neutral, and protective earth, creating a convenient power entry point for equipment that requires a grounded AC supply. The connector is designed as a fixed component of the equipment rather than as an inline cable connector.
This version uses a right-angle configuration intended for direct installation onto a printed circuit board. The orientation allows the mating connector to enter from the side while the electrical terminals connect directly to the PCB. This arrangement can simplify internal wiring and provide a more organized connection between the AC input and the equipment’s internal power circuitry. The molded housing supports the connector contacts while maintaining the standardized external mating profile.
