I am trying to help a friend with his Inno T2Ts that consumes 2200w or exactly 10amps on 220v outlet.

we could not find anything on the local markets that are capable of anything above 10amp ,since apparently pushing the connector/terminal to it's limit 24/7 is not the best thing to do , so my plan is to get the C13 connector of 15amp and then make the cable myself.

What i found so far is only 10amp > https://www.amazon.com/Female-Terminals-IEC320-Adapter-Connector/dp/B07G994PM8

I did find some complete power cords on Amazon that can do 15 amps but then he will have to pay a lot for shipping since those cords are a bit heavy, so that is not an option for now at least.

TL;DR where to get a C13  15A connector online (preferably Amazon)?

Thanks.

I've always had to buy an entire cable and cut the ends off to make anything like that work. You can't find any assembled cables online that will work?  I couldn't find anything on amazon but did come across this.

Edit: struck after rereading. To get around the bulk of the cables you can try ordering a 1 ft length of what you need.

I initially thought of doing this and I did find some cheap 0.75mm2 cables (21awg) in a local shop and the connector had a label of 15A on it, but then since you have to cut the ends there will always be some weak ends on both sides of the cable, even if you joint a wire with large diameter that bit of wires left after the cut will be the weakest points and will heat really fast since the conecters on most cables aren't rewirable - so after giving it a second thought I decided not to go that route given the fact that I am doing this for someone else and not my own.


Those look perfect , price is not bad either, i will try some different key-words on amazon since he has some gift card balance he rather use, if not then I will just go with the link you recommended.

Thanks a lot pal.

C13 connector on one end, but what do you need on the other? Did I miss that?

I don't need anything on the other end, well at least nothing that relates to the topic anyway, but if you want to know, usually the cable has a C13 connector on one end and a plug on the other end ! for my case something like the image below which I can find in any local shop here.

Ermm... the Europlug in your picture is rated only up to 2.5 Amps.

It is not a good idea to use it!

What is the location for this cable?

Maybe a Type F ('schuko') plug could be used?

Well based on the OP and my other posts I didn't see that coming  ;D , well I thought it would be obvious that I wouldn't be using whatever in the picture, it was merely a random EU plug from the internet to show the person who asked what would be on the other end.

and yes I will either use type f plug or simply joint the cable to the wire coming from the MCB ( I do that with all of the gears I have) so that I don't have to worry about a bad socket , and also get to save some $ since no PDUs are required.

Okay,
maybe my reply was kind of obvious,
but I had to say it  ;D

Don’t worry guys I think all of us can get a bit of tunnel vision at times.

At op how many iec connectors do you want?

Better to be safe than watch a guy burn down his friends farm lol. Not saying that was going to happen.
No worries it was the first site I could find at least we know you can find it somewhere.

Iec320 c15 15 amp 120/240 volt 3 wire   Iec 320 connector By heil


On amazon heavy duty use with up to 150mm wire.


Watt gate has better but very costly 30 bucks a piece

Sorry for delay on a shit iPad as I only have partial power due to blackout.

is this the correct item? https://www.amazon.com/IEC320-C15-Volt-Wire-Connector/dp/B00S73FLQA

This is perfect and so cheap, to my surprise after having searched all pages on amazon (total of 6) this did not come out , turns out that i was using keywords such as C13 and never came to my mind to use C15 which does fit perfectly in C14 outlet and actually are better than C13 in terms of temp-endurance, I think will go with this one.

have you actually bought this before ? I am bit worried about the shipping weight, it says 1 pound , I hope that is a typo from the seller , unless he packs it in a huge box or something stupid !

Thanks a lot phill.


You did what you have to do, no worries , I would have probably done the same thing if i saw someone about to


;D

Yeah. Be sure you use 1.5mm not .75mm wire.
