UK BS 1363 Plug to Dual IEC C15 Y-Splitter Power Cord
Two IEC C15 connectors provide the high-temperature keyed interface that distinguishes this assembly from a standard dual IEC C13 splitter cord.
A typical IEC C15 configuration supports up to 250V AC and 10A, but the combined load across both output branches must remain within the confirmed rating of the complete cord assembly.
Common cable options include 3G0.75mm² and 3G1.0mm² constructions, with the UK plug fuse, cable type, and conductor size selected according to load, length, and target-market requirements.
Overall length, input lead, individual branch lengths, wire gauge, fuse, jacket, molding, color, cable printing, labels, logo, and packaging can be customized for OEM and B2B orders.
- Product Description
UK BS 1363 Plug to Dual IEC C15 Y-Splitter Power Cord
This UK BS 1363 plug to dual IEC C15 Y-splitter power cord distributes one grounded British AC input to two compatible devices. Its two IEC C15 connectors mate with IEC C16 appliance inlets and provide the keyed interface required for suitable hot-condition equipment.
The assembly combines a fused UK three-pin plug, a molded Y-junction, and two grounded IEC C15 output branches. Typical configurations support up to 250V AC and 10A, subject to the selected plug, fuse, cable, splitter construction, connectors, and applicable approval requirements.
Why Choose Our UK Plug to Dual IEC C15 Power Cord?
This splitter cable is intended for equipment manufacturers, electrical integrators, replacement-cord distributors, and project buyers that need two IEC C15 equipment connections from one UK power source.
Two IEC C15 Outputs from One UK Plug
The Y-splitter construction powers two compatible IEC C16-equipped devices from one BS 1363 outlet. This can reduce separate supply-cord requirements where both loads form part of the same equipment installation.
High-Temperature Keyed IEC C15 Interface
IEC C15 connectors include a keying feature that differentiates them from IEC C13 connectors and allows mating with compatible IEC C16 inlets. This makes the cord suitable for equipment that specifically requires an IEC C15 connection.
Fused and Grounded UK Input
The BS 1363 plug provides line, neutral, and protective-earth connections together with a replaceable fuse position. The correct fuse must be selected according to the cable construction, connected load, and finished assembly rating.
Configurable Y-Branch Dimensions
The input lead and two output branches can be dimensioned separately, allowing the splitter position and connector reach to match equipment spacing, rack layouts, or installation requirements.

Buyer's Insight: IEC C15 and IEC C13 connectors have a similar overall shape, but they are not the same interface. Confirm that the equipment uses an IEC C16 inlet and requires an IEC C15 connector. The two output ratings are not additive: the combined load of both branches must remain within the confirmed rating of the plug, fuse, cable, splitter, and complete assembly.
Professional Applications You Can Trust
For equipment installations containing two IEC C16-powered devices, the Y-splitter structure provides both connections from one UK outlet. Separate branch dimensions help route each connector to its target device without excessive loose cable.
For suitable hot-condition appliances, the IEC C15 connector provides the required keyed mating profile. Buyers should confirm the equipment inlet and operating-temperature requirement rather than substituting a standard IEC C13 connector.
For racks, laboratories, commercial kitchens, and integrated electrical systems, configurable cable lengths and conductor sizes allow the assembly to match equipment spacing, total load, and installation conditions.
Advanced Safety Features
The BS 1363 plug includes a fuse position, while the three-core cable provides line, neutral, and protective-earth conductors. The fuse rating must match the completed cord and connected equipment rather than being selected only from the plug's maximum capability.
Molded terminations enclose the internal conductor connections. Strain-relief sections support the cable near the plug, Y-junction, and both IEC C15 connectors.
Both output loads share the same upstream plug, fuse, input cable, and splitter junction. The final rating is therefore limited by the lowest-rated component, and the combined branch load must remain within the approved assembly limit.
Manufacturing Excellence
This UK BS 1363 to dual IEC C15 power cord can be configured for OEM and B2B equipment programs. Buyers can define the electrical rating, fuse, cable type, wire gauge, input length, individual branch lengths, molding profile, cable printing, labels, and packaging before production.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment inlet matches the IEC C15 connectors?
A: Each IEC C15 connector is designed to mate with a compatible IEC C16 appliance inlet. The inlet type should be verified from the equipment label, drawing, or sample.
Q: Are IEC C15 and IEC C13 connectors the same?
A: No. IEC C15 has a high-temperature keying feature and is intended for an IEC C16 inlet. It should not be described or ordered as a standard IEC C13 connector.
Q: Can both branches carry 10A at the same time?
A: The two branch ratings must not be added together. The combined load across both outputs must remain within the confirmed rating of the complete cord assembly.
Q: Can the two output branches have different lengths?
A: Yes. The input lead and each IEC C15 branch can be assigned separate dimensions according to the equipment layout. Custom cable marking, molding, labeling, and packaging are also available upon request.
