The C15 connector looks very similar to the widely used C13 kettle lead connector, but includes a small notch that allows it to withstand higher operating temperatures. This makes C15 cables specifically suited to equipment that generates more heat during normal operation, such as certain power amplifiers and higher-power components, where the additional heat resistance is a genuine safety consideration rather than simply a different connector shape.

It's worth noting that while a C15 cable's connector shape is compatible with C13 equipment inlets, using the correct connector type specifically rated for your equipment is important for safety, particularly with components known to run hot during use. Always check your equipment's specification or original cable to confirm whether a C15 rated cable is required.

If your equipment specifically calls for a heat-resistant mains connection, our C15 range provides correctly rated cables designed to handle the additional thermal demands safely.
