    Couple these adapters with a cord that matches your outlet and length requirements to run DC-powered electronics. Instead of plugging directly into an outlet, the body of these adapters sits on the floor or other surface, so it remains out of the way and won’t block multiple outlets. These adapters use switching regulation—they produce the stated voltage even when your outlet’s power or the power drawn by your device fluctuates. Most have an LPS low-voltage output, so if something fails inside these adapters, they’ll limit the risk of electrical shocks. They meet U.S., Canadian, and European safety standards. Many also meet U.S. and European standards for energy efficiency.
    When choosing an adapter, match the output voltage and polarity of your device. Look for the polarity illustration on your device or the adapter you're replacing. The current you choose should, at a minimum, match your device. You can choose a higher current, but it will not improve performance.
    IEC C8—Adapters with an IEC C8 input require power cords with a C7 socket. With Class II shock protection, they have two levels of insulation that prevent electrical shocks.

    IEC Connectors

    Pair these connectors with standard IEC power cords to bring power into or out of devices. Often used to convey power from wall outlets, there’s no need to wire your devices to an external power source. Instead, wire these connectors into your device with the terminals on the back of each connector.
    Some connectors accept a fuse (not included), which prevents short circuits and circuit overloads from damaging your device.
    Mate plugs and sockets with receptacles of the opposite gender. Plugs and sockets cannot mate with each other.

    To run DC-powered lab and medical equipment from your outlet, add a power cord with the plug style and length you need. These adapters meet strict IEC, UL, or ANSI/AAMI standards for use with medical devices. They also have a Means of Protection rating of 2xMOPP, which is the highest level of shock protection available for medical-grade power supplies, so in addition to using them with lab and medical equipment, you can use them with devices that come into contact with patients.
    Unlike adapters with bodies that plug directly into an outlet, the body of these adapters rests on a desk or the floor, so it won’t block multiple outlets.
    When selecting an adapter, make sure the DC voltage and amps for the pin output connection can handle the requirements of your device. Choosing a DC voltage and amps that are much higher than you need will not improve performance.
    These adapters use switching regulation, which means they produce the stated voltage despite fluctuations in your outlet’s power and the power being drawn by your device. It also means they won’t get too hot.
    If you exceed the maximum voltage or load, these adapters shut down to protect both the adapters and the connected equipment.
    All of these adapters meet European safety standards.
    IEC C8—Adapters with an IEC C8 input connection require power cords with a C7 socket.
    II—Adapters with Class II shock protection have two levels of insulation to prevent electrical shocks.

    EMI-Filtering IEC Connectors

    Bring power into electronic devices while protecting them from harmful electromagnetic interference (EMI). Often used to convey power from wall outlets, there’s no need to wire your devices to an external power source. Instead, wire these connectors into your device with the terminals on the back of each connector. All of these connectors are compatible with standard IEC power cords. When selecting a connector, make sure the current is at or slightly above the requirements of your device for the best EMI filtering performance.
    Some connectors accept a fuse (sold separately), which prevents short circuits and circuit overloads from damaging your device.
