Electro-Stock,
Inc. Distributor of Electronic Components and Controls
All products are designed in accordance
with the international IEC320 standard "Appliance couplers for
household and similar general purposes". Today IEC320 couplers not
only connect household appliances but also a wide
range of electronic and electrical equipment like computers, medical
devices, office machines, telecom equipment and
even industrial equipment.
The European Committee for Electro-technical
Standardization (CENELEC) adopted the IEC
recommendation to the European standard EN60320. Other national approval
agencies harmonized their national standards
accordingly (e.g. DIN VDE 0625 in Germany). North American agencies still
test and approve according to national rules.
Their standards differ from the IEC and EN regulations mainly in terms
of electrical ratings and temperature rating.
