Product Specifications

Type M Plug and IEC C13 Connector: How Does This Power Cord Work?

This South Africa power cord combines two different connection standards to connect a South African wall socket to compatible electronic equipment.

1. South African Type M Three-Pin Plug

The input end uses a Type M plug with three round pins arranged in a triangular pattern.

It is designed for the conventional South African SANS 164-1 plug and socket system, historically associated with BS 546.

2. IEC 60320 C13 Female Connector

The output end uses an IEC 60320 C13 connector, commonly known as a computer power cord connector.

It connects to equipment fitted with an IEC C14 male inlet.

Typical applications include:Desktop computersComputer monitorsOffice printersCompatible networking equipmentCompatible kitchen appliances

Important: C13 and C14 are matching connector and inlet types. Before purchasing, check the equipment's inlet shape, rated current and voltage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can you use a 2 pin plug in South Africa?

Yes, but only when the plug is compatible with the socket and the electrical equipment is designed for a two-pole connection.

South Africa has different plug and socket systems. Two-pin plugs are used for certain Class II appliances that do not require a protective earth connection. However, a two-pin plug cannot automatically replace a grounded Type M plug.

For grounded equipment such as products requiring a protective earth conductor, use the appropriate three-pin plug and compatible socket.

2. What type of power plug is used in South Africa?

South Africa uses several plug standards, including Type M and Type N. Type M is the traditional large three-round-pin plug associated with BS 546 and SANS 164-1.

The correct plug should be selected according to the socket system and equipment requirements.

3. What is a Type M plug?

A Type M plug is a three-round-pin electrical plug with a triangular pin arrangement. It is commonly associated with the South African conventional 16A, 250V plug system under SANS 164-1.

It includes live, neutral and protective earth connections.

4. What is the difference between a Type M plug and a Type N plug?

Both have three round pins, but their pin arrangements and socket configurations are different.

Type M belongs to the conventional SANS 164-1 system, while Type N belongs to the SANS 164-2 system. They should not be treated as interchangeable.

5. What is an IEC C13 power cord used for?

An IEC C13 power cord is commonly used to supply power to desktop computers, monitors, printers and other equipment with an IEC C14 inlet.

Always check the device's inlet and electrical rating before ordering a replacement cord.

6. Is this South Africa power cord available in different lengths?

Yes. Standard options include 1.5m and 1.8m. Custom lengths can also be discussed for OEM and wholesale orders.

7. Does this South Africa AC power cord support OEM orders?

Yes. TISDLIP supports OEM and ODM customization, including cable length, conductor material, PVC specifications, labeling and packaging.

8. How can I verify the SABS certification of a South African power cord?

Ask the supplier for the applicable SABS certificate and its certification schedule. Check the certificate holder, factory, product model, plug type, cable specifications and connector configuration.

A certificate for a similar plug or another cable specification does not automatically cover the complete cord assembly.
