Type C connector is a utility power socket and plug interface standard, mainly used for AC power connection. It has the following characteristics:
1. Polar contact. The Type C connector uses a circular contact interface and contains two contact points (pins), which connect the live wire (live) and the neutral wire (neutral) of the line respectively.
2. Easily identified. The Type C interface is large in size, and the contact point (pin) is cylindrical, which is easy to identify and contact.
3. Anti-wrong connection. The socket and plug of Type C connector have anti-misinsertion design. The live pin is wider than the neutral pin, which can avoid mismatch during connection.
4. High current carrying. The Type C connector has thick pins and can safely and continuously pass 10-16 amps of current to meet the needs of most household appliances and industrial equipment.
5. Three specifications. Type C connectors are available in three different sizes, Type C5etta(5 amps), Type C10(10 amps) and Type C16(16 amps), to meet different needs.
6. Widely used. Type C connectors are widely used in many countries in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific, and are used in various fields such as household appliances, office equipment, and industrial control.
7. Safe and reliable. Type C connectors are simple in design and low in manufacturing cost, but they also have high safety and reliability, long service life, and are not prone to fire and electric shock hazards.
In summary, Type C connector is a simple, economical, safe and reliable power socket and plug standard, which is widely used in many developing countries. However, some regions are starting to shift to safer designs that protect against electric shock, such as Type G or Type I connector standards.
