This IEC C5 power cord is the European power cord for a laptop power adapter or any device with an IEC C6 inlet: it connects that device to a standard continental European wall outlet. One end is a molded CEE 7/7 Schuko plug (Type E/F, grounded) that fits German, French, Spanish, Dutch and most continental sockets; the other is an IEC 60320 C5 cloverleaf (Mickey Mouse) connector. Built with 18 AWG (0.75 mm2) 3-conductor stranded copper wire in a black H05VV-F PVC jacket with molded strain relief, rated 2.5A 250V, with VDE and ENEC safety approvals and RoHS-compliant materials. Compatible with any device using an IEC C6 3-pin inlet, including laptop, notebook and computer AC adapter bricks, projectors, printers, and monitors, whether you are replacing a lost or frayed EU power cord or packing a laptop charger cord for a trip to Europe. Best for: powering C5-inlet devices from Schuko or French outlets across continental Europe. Not for: North American NEMA outlets, UK, Swiss or Italian Type L outlets, IEC C7 figure-8 or C13 inlets, or equipment drawing more than 2.5 amps.
Lost the mains lead for your laptop brick, or landing in Frankfurt, Paris or Madrid with a US cord that does not fit? This EU power cord plugs the grounded CEE 7/7 Schuko plug into any standard continental European wall outlet and the C5 cloverleaf end into the C6 inlet on the power supply. It replaces the cord that shipped with the adapter — no travel adapter stacked on the wall, no loose fit.
Rated 2.5 amps at 250 volts, matching the IEC C5 connector limit, so it covers laptop, projector, and printer power supplies without derating. Three 18 AWG (0.75 mm2) stranded copper conductors including a dedicated earth path, H05VV-F PVC jacket, and fully molded plug and connector bodies. Carries VDE and ENEC safety approvals for 220V to 240V European mains and uses RoHS-compliant materials.
Works with any laptop or notebook AC adapter, projector, printer, monitor, or small audio power supply that takes the 3-prong cloverleaf plug. Quick check: Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands or Poland wall outlet to a laptop brick — Yes. Wall outlet in the US or Canada — No, choose a NEMA 5-15P to C5 cord instead. UK, Ireland or Switzerland — No. Two-pin figure-8 (C7) inlet — No. Kettle-style (C13) inlet — No. Over 2.5 amps — No.
Molded strain relief at both ends takes the bending and pulling of daily plug-in and packing in a laptop bag. The flexible black H05VV-F jacket coils flat as an international power cord in a laptop bag and lies neatly under a desk for a permanent setup. Fully molded connectors keep the pins aligned so the Schuko plug seats firmly in the outlet and the C5 end stays put on the power supply.
Each cord is sample-tested during production for continuity, polarity, and dielectric withstand. Manufactured to RoHS environmental standards (lead, mercury, and cadmium-free). If your cord arrives defective or stops working in normal use, Cable Leader handles replacement requests directly — no manufacturer redirects.
