Many countries have the same standards for what type of power cords they use. To help you figure out what cord you will need, follow the link below.
Q: I saw you have 'Types' for each kind of international power cord what does that mean?
A: The 'Type' of each power cord is simply another way to explain what type of connector is being used. It is a universal language set by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). There is a chart on the resources tab to help you determine which type of plug you need.
Q: I'm not sure which power cable I need. Can you help?
A: The different power connectors can be confusing. We have a chart on the resources tab to help you determine which connector you need.
Q: Can I use the cord I bought for my trip to the UK anywhere else?
A: Yes you can! The BS 1363 or Type G power cords can be used in several other countries such as Hong Kong Saudi Arabia and Singapore. In fact many countries have the same standards for what type of power cords they use. To help you figure out what cord you will need follow the link below.
IEC connectors are the standard connectors as recognized by the International Electrotechical Commission. They are non-locking connectors rated up to 250 volts. The IEC standard uses a numerical approach to distinguish which is the outlet and which is the inlet. All odd numbers (C5 C13 etc.) are the outlets which plug into the even number inlet. The odd number connectors mate with the even number directly after them. For example a C13 plugs into a C14 but will not plug into a C12.

NEMA connectors are the standard connectors as recognized by the U.S. National Electrical Manufacturers Association for AC power. The standard is comprised of both locking and non-locking connectors rated up to 600 volts. The NEMA standard uses an alphabetical approach to distinguish which is the plug and which is the receptacle. The letter P designates the plug and a R designates the receptacle. For example a 5-15P will plug into a 5-15R.
