Cables and adapters
For over half a century of intensive development of the electronics industry, both in consumer electronics, computers, household appliances, as well as in medical or industrial production, various manufacturers have been introducing more and more new types of power connectors. And - as it usually happens in such cases - only selected ones entered common use. These designs have become worldwide standards, which are known to every practicing electronics engineer. In this category you will find a wide range of cables and adapters used for supplying power to electronic devices and modules both with 230 V mains voltage and low DC voltage from power supplies or inverters.

Cables and adapters - FAQ
When choosing a power supply cable, it is worth paying attention primarily to the connectors on both sides - one will be connected to the power source (e.g. a standard wall socket), and the other to the power supply (e.g. the so-called eight or IEC). The cable should also be of appropriate thickness adapted to the current parameters.
When selecting a power cable for the power supply, pay attention primarily to the connectors on both sides. One of the most popular power cords are IEC cables - they have a plug for a standard wall socket on one side and a 3-pin IEC plug on the other.
The cable for the power connection should be selected paying particular attention to the appropriate thickness of the entire cable - both the insulation layer and the conductors themselves. The thickness should depend on the parameters of the current that is to flow in it.
Cables are most often used for computer power supplies, one end of which is a plug into a standard wall socket, while the other is equipped with an IEC or so-called "eight" connector.
