Short Clover Leaf Power Lead 0.5m | AU 3-Pin Mains Plug to IEC C5
Short Clover Leaf Power Lead 0.5m — Australian 3-Pin Mains Plug to IEC C5, 10A Earthed Cord
Quick Specs & Highlights
- Short 0.5 metre (50 cm) lead — made for the jobs a full-length cord does badly. It keeps a laptop brick tight against a power board without a metre of slack looped behind the desk, fits inside an AV cabinet or a rack, and rolls up small enough to live in a laptop bag as the spare you actually carry.
- Three-pin earthed IEC C5 “clover leaf” connector — also called a Mickey Mouse or trefoil connector, after the three rounded lobes. It has three holes, not two. If the socket on your equipment has only two openings and a flat oval body, that is a figure-8 (C7) and this is not the lead you want.
- Both ends are straight. The Australian plug is a normal straight moulded plug and the C5 end runs in line with the cable. We also stock a right-angled version where the clover-leaf end turns through 90°; if you specifically need the angled one for clearance behind a cabinet, buy that listing instead of this one.
- Genuine Australian 10 A plug (AS/NZS 3112) — two angled flat pins plus a vertical earth pin, moulded to the cable. Not a US, UK or European plug, and not a travel adaptor on the end of a cord.
- 0.5 metres of 3-core 0.75 mm² round cable, rated 10 A / 250 V. If you need to reach a floor socket from a desk, this is the wrong length — we sell the same lead in 1.8 m and that is the one to buy.
- Fits the usual clover-leaf equipment — laptop and notebook power bricks, many printers, monitors, camera and battery chargers, projectors, and the power supplies of a number of games consoles and set-top boxes. If your power brick takes a three-lobed socket, this is the lead for it.
- Three-core earthed construction, with a genuine earth pin carried through to the shell of the C5 connector, which is what distinguishes a C5 lead from an unearthed figure-8 and is why the two are not interchangeable even though they look similar at a glance.
Product Overview
This is a short 0.5 metre Australian mains lead terminating in an IEC 60320 C5 connector — the three-lobed “clover leaf” socket found on many laptop power bricks and small appliance supplies.
Half a metre is the point of this listing, not a compromise. The standard lead is 1.8 m and most of that is usually slack. At 50 cm the brick sits where you put it — on a power board under a desk or rack rail, in a media cabinet with tight shelf spacing, or in a travel bag. If you need the reach, we sell the identical lead in 1.8 m and that is the one to buy.
The most common mix-up is with the figure-8 (C7) lead. A C5 has three separate round openings arranged in a cloverleaf and the lead that fits it is a three-core earthed cable. A C7 has two openings in a flat, waisted, figure-of-eight shape and is unearthed two-core. Neither will fit the other. Count the holes — that is the whole test.
Both ends are straight. It is also not a C13 “kettle” lead (the larger rectangular connector on desktop PCs and monitors), and it is a full mains lead with an Australian wall plug, not an extension. We also sell a right-angled clover-leaf lead; if a straight connector will not fit, the angled listing is the one to buy.
