• C19/20 means 16-amp connectors (odd for female, even for male) Inside a rack, only two connectors are used for distributing power: Those are the NEMA 5-15 for lowvoltage, 120-V, applications, and the IEC 320, C13/C14. IEC 309 pin-and-sleeve connectors are commonly used on international PDUs, servers, and storage devices, and they are beginning to be used in North America. Figure C-2 shows three types of IEC 309 pin-and-sleeve connectors (all rated at 250 V) that are becoming more popular in the United States: • 16-A single-phase • 32-A single-phase • 32-A three-phase Figure C-2.
