IEC Connectors

What is an IEC Connector?

An IEC connector is an electronic cable that meets the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards. The specification for IEC connectors is IEC-60320. The connectors mounted with wires are referred to as female connectors or sockets. The connectors mounted with panels are known as male connectors or plugs. Connectors are available in various lead lengths and plug types.

We have a wide range of approved IEC connectors, including lockable IEC cables and sockets.
