About Black NEMA L6-20P to IEC 60320 C21 Adapter Power Cords

  • NEMA L6-20P

    THE NEMA L6-20P is a 3 Wire 3 Blade grounded device with hot-hot-ground wiring and is rated up to 250V AC and 20 Amps. The NEMA L6-20P male plug mates with a NEMA L6-20R outlet/receptacle and securely locks by twisting into place. NEMA Twist Locking cables such as the L6-20P are used in applications where plugs can easily become disconnected, such as in factories, warehouses, production facilities, data centers, and other industrial applications. The L6-20P is typically used in conjunction with an IEC 60320 connector in a cordset to provide power to a device with a C20 or C22 inlet. 

  • IEC 60320 C21 Connector (Female)

    The IEC 60320 C21 is a grounded 3 Wire connector rated up to 250V and 20 Amps. The C21 mates with a C22 or C20 inlet, and is commonly used in a jumper cable scenario in IT Installations providing power from a PDU to a server, router, switch or other computing device. The C21 is a HIGH TEMPERATURE version of the C19 connector, with a maximum pin temperature of 155°C instead of the standard 65°C ofa C19, and is typically used in high powered blade servers, large network routers, and other IT equipment that draws more power than a standard C13 can accommodate. The C21 connector mates with a C22 inlet on a device.
