UK Plug to IEC C6 Power Cable

UK BS 1363 plug to IEC C6 power cable designed for laptop adapters, projectors, printers, monitors, audio equipment, and other grounded devices fitted with an IEC C6 appliance inlet.
The cable-mounted end is an IEC C5 female cloverleaf connector, which connects to the IEC C6 male inlet installed on the equipment or power adapter.
Grounded three-conductor construction carries line, neutral, and protective earth, supporting compatible devices that require an earthed AC input connection.
Typical configurations include up to 250V AC, 2.5A, 3G0.75mm² cable, and lengths from 0.5m to 3m; the final assembly rating and UK plug fuse must match the selected construction and equipment load.
Cable length, wire gauge, fuse, connector molding, strain relief, color, cable printing, label, logo, and packaging can be customized for OEM and B2B procurement projects.

  • Product Description

UK Plug to IEC C6 Power Cable

This UK plug to IEC C6 power cable connects a British BS 1363 wall outlet to compatible equipment fitted with an IEC C6 appliance inlet. The cord uses a fused UK three-pin plug and an IEC C5 female cloverleaf connector, providing line, neutral, and protective-earth connections for grounded electrical equipment.

The product is commonly called a UK-to-C6 cable because the target equipment carries an IEC C6 inlet. Technically, the removable cable end is an IEC C5 female connector that mates with the IEC C6 male inlet. Typical configurations include up to 250V AC, 2.5A, 3G0.75mm² cable, and lengths from 0.5m to 3m.

Why Choose Our UK to IEC C6 Power Cable?

This cable is intended for laptop accessory suppliers, electronics manufacturers, appliance brands, replacement-cord distributors, and OEM buyers requiring a grounded UK power connection for IEC C6-equipped devices.

IEC C5 Connector for IEC C6 Inlets

The cable-mounted IEC C5 female connector has a three-contact cloverleaf profile. It connects to an IEC C6 male appliance inlet commonly found on laptop adapters, projectors, printers, monitors, and other compact electrical equipment.

Grounded Three-Conductor Construction

Unlike a two-core IEC C7 cable, the IEC C5/C6 configuration includes a protective-earth connection. The three-conductor structure supports compatible equipment designed for grounded AC input.

Fused BS 1363 UK Plug

The British three-pin plug includes a fuse position. The correct fuse should be selected according to the cable rating, equipment load, and approved finished-cord configuration rather than the maximum capacity of the plug alone.

Configurable for OEM Supply

Cable length, wire gauge, cable type, fuse, IEC C5 molding, strain-relief profile, cable color, printed marking, label, logo, and packaging can be configured according to the target equipment and sales market.

Buyer's Insight: The device interface is IEC C6, while the removable cable connector is IEC C5. These names describe the two mating halves of the same cloverleaf connection. Before ordering, confirm the equipment inlet, current requirement, cable length, wire gauge, UK plug fuse, and required certification scope.

Professional Applications You Can Trust

For laptop and notebook power adapters, this cable connects a UK wall outlet to a compatible adapter fitted with an IEC C6 inlet. Selectable lengths help suit office desks, classrooms, service centers, and replacement-cable packaging.

For projectors, printers, monitors, and audio equipment, the grounded cloverleaf connection supplies protective earth to devices designed around the IEC C6 interface. The molded ends support convenient installation and replacement.

For OEM electronics and distribution programs, the cable can be configured with suitable plug fusing, conductor size, printed markings, labeling, and packaging to match the equipment model and destination market.

Advanced Safety Features

The three-conductor cable provides dedicated line, neutral, and protective-earth paths. Ground continuity must be maintained through the BS 1363 plug, cable, IEC C5 connector, and matching IEC C6 equipment inlet.

The UK plug includes a fuse position that provides overcurrent protection for the flexible cord and connected equipment. The fuse rating must be matched to the finished cable construction and electrical load.

Molded terminations enclose the internal conductor connections, while strain relief at both ends supports the cable where repeated bending commonly occurs. Final safety performance depends on the approved plug, fuse, cable, connector, and manufacturing configuration.

Manufacturing Excellence

This UK plug to IEC C6 power cable can be configured for B2B and OEM purchasing programs. Buyers can confirm the cable length, conductor size, cable type, UK plug fuse, connector molding, strain-relief profile, printed marking, label, and packaging before production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this cable IEC C5 or IEC C6?

A: The product is commonly called a UK-to-C6 power cable because it connects to an IEC C6 equipment inlet. The cable-mounted female connector itself is IEC C5.

Q: Is this a grounded power cord?

A: Yes. The BS 1363 plug and IEC C5/C6 connection use line, neutral, and protective-earth conductors.

Q: What current rating is commonly used?

A: 2.5A is typical for IEC C5/C6 cord configurations. The final rating depends on the plug, fuse, connector, wire gauge, cable type, length, and applicable approval.

Q: Can the cable length and fuse be customized?

A: Yes. Common lengths include 0.5m, 1m, 1.5m, 1.8m, 2m, and 3m. Cable gauge, cable type, fuse, molding, color, printing, label, logo, and packaging can also be configured.

Custom Solutions for Your Business

Cable Length: Common options from 0.5m to 3m are available, with custom lengths offered for equipment bundles, replacement cables, and project orders.
