Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is the IEC C8 connector standard?
A: The IEC C8 connector is a 2‑pin non‑polarized AC power inlet standardized under IEC 60320, commonly known as the “figure‑8” or “shotgun” connector. It is widely used in small appliances, laptop power adapters, and consumer electronics.
Q: What is the voltage and current rating?
A: This socket is rated at 250V AC and 2.5A (IEC standard). In North America, higher UL/CSA ratings may allow up to 7‑10A at 125V AC.
Q: What type of plug is compatible with this socket?
A: The JYFS‑C8‑W is compatible with standard 2‑pin IEC C7 figure‑8 plugs.
Q: Is this socket polarized?
A: No. The standard IEC C8 connector is non‑polarized and features a symmetrical figure‑8 shape. For polarized applications, a C8P inlet must be used.
Q: What is the insertion/withdrawal life?
A: The JYFS‑C8‑W is rated for ≥5,000 mating cycles, ensuring long‑term durability in high‑use applications.
Q: What is the operating temperature range?
A: This socket operates reliably from -20℃ to +70℃, suitable for most consumer and industrial environments.
Q: Is this product RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. All JY Forge products are RoHS, REACH, and halogen‑free compliant.
