Power Cable No name IEC320/GS (IEC C13 to Schuko/GS adapter) — IEC320/GS

The No name IEC320/GS power cable adapter connects equipment with an IEC C13 inlet to a Schuko/GS mains socket. It is a compact adapter designed to bridge the plug type difference between devices such as desktop PCs, monitors and printers and Schuko-style wall outlets. The adapter adapts the standard IEC C13 connector on the appliance side to a grounded Schuko/GS plug on the supply side, enabling safe power delivery where Schuko sockets are used.

Advantages

This adapter provides a simple mechanical and electrical conversion without altering the device or its original cable. It maintains the grounding contact required for compatible appliances and supports standard mains voltages used with Schuko sockets. The compact form factor makes it easy to carry, install and remove as needed, while the molded housing offers basic insulation and strain relief for reliable everyday use.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers with IEC C13 inlets to Schuko mains sockets
• Powering monitors and all-in-one PCs that use an IEC C13 connector
• Supplying printers, scanners and similar office equipment to Schuko outlets
• Temporary adapter use in offices, home workspaces and workshop environments

Key specifications

• Connector type (device side): IEC C13 female inlet
• Connector type (mains side): Schuko/GS grounded plug
• Safety grounding: maintained through Schuko contact
• Intended voltage: suitable for standard mains voltages used with Schuko sockets
• Construction: molded housing with strain relief

How to use

Insert the IEC C13 inlet of the equipment into the adapter until it seats securely, then plug the Schuko end into the wall socket. Ensure the connection is firm and that the grounding contact is established. Do not force connectors; if fit is loose or contacts appear damaged, stop use and inspect both the adapter and the device cable. Always use the adapter only with devices designed for mains power and compatible voltage ranges.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter for temporary or occasional connections and avoid leaving it in place under permanent strain or in locations exposed to moisture, extreme heat or mechanical damage. Regularly check for wear, cracks or loose connections and replace the adapter if any damage is found.
