<<Female plug with male socket>>
Countries have their own power cord standards, and the IEC 60320 standard is a set of standards developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and is an international standard used by most countries.
There are many types of IEC 60320 power cords, including C13 power cords/C14 power cords/C15 power cords/C19 power cords/C20 power cords, and specify the female power plug to be used. Of course, the power socket of the equipment connected to it needs to be matched.

<<The most commonly used power cord for enthusiasts>>
The appearance and current of C13 and C19 are different, resulting in different applications. Relatively speaking, C19 can pass more current than the more commonly used C13. As for C15, it is more resistant to high temperature than C13, and the number of passing current A is the same.
C13 power cord maximum current: 10A; maximum voltage: 250V; maximum temperature: 70℃
C15 power cord maximum current: 10A; maximum voltage: 250V; maximum temperature: 120℃
C19 power cord maximum current: 16A; maximum voltage: 250V; maximum temperature: 70℃

<<C20 power male socket>>
The C20 power socket is installed on the back of the Inakustik AC-3500P and AC-4500, indicating that they can pass a large current, which are suitable for use from source equipments to amplifiers to improve the sound.
Working voltage: 100-230VAC/50-60Hz
Maximum operating current: 16A
Maximum power: 3680w
