MX IEC C13 3 Pin AC Female Socket Connector For Computer Supply 10 Amp (MX-1655)

Nearly every desktop computer, and a huge range of other mains-powered equipment, uses this exact IEC C13 socket as its power entry point - it's the connector that accepts the familiar three-prong 'kettle lead' power cord found in practically every home and office. Building this socket into a custom enclosure means the project can use any standard IEC power cord already lying around, rather than hard-wiring a mains lead directly or sourcing a less common connector. Rated to 10 amps, it comfortably covers the current draw of the small-to-mid-size power supplies this inlet type is normally paired with. A fundamental part for anyone building a mains-powered enclosure from scratch rather than retrofitting an existing supply's cord.
