IEC 60320 C13/14 contacts?
« on: January 07, 2022, 02:06:19 am »
Hi Folks!

I'm not sure if this is the best category but I couldn't find where to ask.
I need a very (very) low profile C13 right angle plug. I thought I'd machine the housing from appropriate grade ABS or so (still needs research) and I'll just buy the contacts but to my surprise I can't find any.


I was imagining something like this:

But either they're not available for the general public or I just don't know how to search for them.

Any tips?

Thanks!

That's great, thank you!
Now I only have to find someone selling less then 1000.

Another suggestion (considering poster wants low quantities) - buy only IEC connector without cable and extract pins. Or modify plug to fit required dimensions mechanically, then fill voids with epoxy/glue for wire retention. Example on AliExpress IEC Straight Cable Plug Connector C13 C14

Yeah, I was thinking about this, but it's a hit or miss whether the stuff is actually salvageable.
This is the best I could find so far:

I ordered a couple. It's still longer then I would like it but maybe I can bend the solder tabs and bring the whole thing in under 30mm.
