Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a C7 and C8 connector?
A: The C8 is the male socket (inlet) typically mounted on the appliance or device body, while the C7 is the female plug on the end of the power cord. Together they form the standard figure-8 / IEC 60320 connector pair used for low-current household electronics such as desk lamps, radios, and small appliances.
Q: What wire sizes are compatible with this embedded connector?
A: This C7/C8 embedded connector is compatible with 2-core wires in cross-sections of 0.3 mm², 0.5 mm², and 0.75 mm². The screw-terminal design allows you to attach and detach your power cord easily without any soldering.
Q: Is this connector safe for use with mains voltage?
A: Yes, the connector is rated for up to 250V AC at 2.5A, making it suitable for standard mains voltage applications in small, low-current devices. Always ensure your installation complies with local electrical safety codes and do not exceed the rated current or voltage.
Q: What is the panel cutout size needed for installation?
A: The connector measures 35mm × 15mm, so you will need a panel cutout of approximately that size to embed the socket flush into your appliance or enclosure. Please allow 1–3mm manufacturing tolerance.
