One of the most apparent differences between the two connectors is the notch on C15 connector. Although C15 looks quite similar to C13, it has a little groove opposite the earth. The IEC-C15 connectors also work in the C14 outlets. But the IEC-C13 connectors do not fit in the C16 inlets.
What is C13 and C15?
The C13 is the common “computer” power cable we all think of when we look at devices with built-in rectifiers. The C15 is the variation with a notch that fits into higher wattage power supplies.
How to wire an IEC plug?
measure the additional 10mm (approx) of wire. The next step is to add the fork terminals to other end of our newly cut wires. Strip approx 10mm of insulation from each of the wires. Give each wire a twist to bind any loose strands. Now crimp or solder (soldering preferred) on the fork connectors to the stripped wires.
