NEMA 5-15 Plug to IEC 60320 C5 Receptacle
The North American Laptop Power Cord, commonly referred to as a notebook or “Mickey Mouse” power cable due to the distinctive cloverleaf shape of the IEC C5 connector, is a compact, detachable AC power supply cord designed for laptops, notebooks, and other portable electronics. It features a NEMA 5-15P male plug for standard 125V North American wall outlets and an IEC 60320 C5 female connector, which mates with the C6 inlet on most laptop power bricks or adapters. This cord is essential for powering devices like laptops, ultrabooks, tablets with external adapters, and small peripherals. Custom configurations allow for personalized lengths, colors, and materials, making it suitable for OEM production, retail packaging, or specialized installations where space and aesthetics matter.
