C14 AC Power Socket

The C14 socket is also cost-effective, both for manufacturers and end users.

EMAIL

The C14 AC Power Socket (IEC 60320-C14 standard) serves as the primary male power input inlet for high-performance electronic enclosures, laboratory instrumentation, server power distribution units (PDUs), and medical hardware. Mounted directly to the chassis, this component mates with standard C13 female line cords to establish a stable, continuous main power feed while protecting downstream components from external electrical faults.

Key Structural Features


Solid Pin Construction: Unlike hollow or stamped pins that bend easily, our sockets feature solid-core brass pins to resist physical damage during repeated cable insertions.

Integrated Safety Shrouding: Molded internal walls isolate the live, neutral, and ground pathways, reducing the risk of internal dust contamination and electrical arcing.

Versatile Chassis Mounting: Available in snap-in designs that adjust to varying sheet metal thicknesses, or flange-mount styles for strong screw-down installation.

Market Advantages: Why Choose Our Sockets


Many standard power sockets suffer from pin loosening, overheating, or cracked housings when subjected to tight bends from heavy power cables. We eliminate these failure points by utilizing 0.8mm thick internal copper connections and a higher grade of heat-stabilized Nylon 66. This extra material thickness ensures that our sockets run cooler under maximum continuous load, dramatically extending your product's service life in the field.

Every single production lot undergoes 100% automated automated high-pot and electrical continuity testing at our ISO 9001:2015 certified facility. By maintaining automated assembly lines, we can protect your production timelines from supply chain disruptions while offering stable, volume-based pricing.
