This 1.8 metre mains power cable features a standard UK 3 pin plug on one end and an IEC C5 (clover leaf) connector on the other, providing a reliable power connection for compatible devices. The cable comes fitted with a 5 amp fuse for protection against electrical overload.

IEC C5 Clover Connector Compatibility

The IEC C5 connector, commonly known as a clover or Mickey Mouse plug due to its distinctive three-round-pin shape, is widely used across various electronic equipment. This cable is compatible with laptop power supplies, portable printers, projectors, and other devices featuring a C5 inlet socket.

The UK 3 pin plug is fitted with a 5 amp fuse, suitable for low to medium power devices. This fuse rating protects both the cable and connected equipment from electrical faults and overcurrent situations.

Applications and Use Cases

This power cable serves as a replacement or spare for devices requiring IEC C5 power connections. Common applications include laptop AC adapters, portable inkjet printers, small projectors, and various consumer electronics that utilize the clover leaf power inlet.

The 1.8m length makes this cable practical for office desks, entertainment centers, and workbenches where the power outlet is within reasonable distance. It eliminates the need for extension leads in many typical setup scenarios.

Build and Construction

The cable features standard mains-rated conductors suitable for UK 240V AC power delivery. Both the UK plug and IEC C5 connector are molded for durability and secure connections. The black cable jacket provides protection against everyday wear while maintaining flexibility for routing and positioning.

The 5 amp fuse in the UK plug can be replaced if needed, following standard UK electrical practices. This serviceability extends the cable's usable life and maintains safety standards over time.
