Clover Leaf IEC C5 Kettle Power Cable 2.8m Black

The IEC C5 power cable 2.8m is a South African plug replacement power cord for any device that uses the 3-pin IEC C5 connector. This connector is commonly called the clover leaf or Mickey Mouse connector due to its distinctive three-rounded-pin shape. This connector is used on laptop power bricks, external power supplies, notebook adapters and Raspberry Pi power adapters. They all require an AC mains connection via a detachable cord.

IEC C5 Connector — Common Applications

The IEC C5 power cable is the standard detachable cord for many laptop adapter bricks from HP, Lenovo, Asus and Acer. Various desktop power supply units also use the IEC C5 inlet for low-current connections. South African users who have lost the original power cord for a laptop adapter, or who need a longer cord to reach a wall socket, will find the 2.8-metre IEC C5 power cable the correct replacement. The 2.8-metre length suits most desk setups. The 2.8-metre length provides comfortable reach from a wall socket to a desk-mounted power brick without requiring extension leads.

South African Plug and Long Reach

The IEC C5 power cable is terminated with a South African three-pin plug. It is compatible with standard South African wall sockets without a plug adapter. The 2.8-metre length is longer than the 1.8-metre cords typically supplied with adapters, providing additional reach for users whose power brick is positioned away from the wall socket. This is useful in South African homes and offices where socket placement can be inconvenient relative to the desk position. Verify the IEC C5 female connector fits your specific device before purchasing, as some devices use the slightly different IEC C7 figure-eight connector.
