When designing a product where the rated current only needs to be 2.5A, two IEC 60320 appliance couplers to consider using are the C5 connector with the C6 inlet and the C7 connector with the C8 inlet.

When designing a product that will be used in a setting where the operating temperature of the equipment may be high, consider including the IEC 60320 appliance coupler combination of a C15 connector with a C16 inlet.

Using globally-accepted power system components, such as IEC 60320 connectors and inlets, in a product design can help to expand business opportunities.

Designing a product that can be used in global markets can assist in creating excellent business opportunities. One way to incorporate this is by including power system components that are accepted worldwide, such as IEC 60320 connectors and inlets.

Global markets can offer excellent business opportunities. “By designing a product for sale worldwide, you can spread the development costs over the largest market possible,” said Bob Wersen, President of the Interpower® Group of Companies.
