Notes

IEC C13/C14 to NEMA 5-15P (US Plug): Different power connector standards are generally not interchangeable due to voltage, current, and pin compatibility differences. Using the wrong power connector can damage equipment. The IEC C13/C14 (Power) and NEMA 5-15P (US Plug) (Power) share the same connector family.
