IEC connector is the common name for a set of thirteen power connectors (called the connector specifications) and thirteen outlet panels (called input) specification defined by IEC 60320 (formerly IEC 320) of the International Electrotechnical Commission ( IEC). When used without other qualifiers, "IEC connector" usually refers specifically to the C13 and C14 connectors.

In IEC connector or cable with a base (usually plastic) and a plug to connect to the socket (plug), if we put these two things we would get the named SCHUKO is the overall connector. The schuko not determine the type of connector. It would be determined by the specification of the International Electrotechnical Commision (IEC). We leave a small sample of Schukos internationally.

VAC would be the abbreviation of Volt Altern Current which would be translated Volts of alternating current. The difference between VDC is that its sinusoidal oscillation achieving a more efficient energy transmission.

The alternating current is the energy that we receive in our homes, it is generated in the power plants by means of alternators.

The intensity of this type of current varies with time, and changes direction 50 times throughsecond (50hz). The generated voltage changes in the form of sine wave so it is not constant.

One of the basic components in most electrical circuits or electrical installations are the fuses, the fuse is a capsule (B) that has metal ferrules (C) on its ends, in which a thin filament of alloy or metal (A) characterized by having a low melting point.
The fuse is placed in a specific point of the installation, and will serve to protect said installation frompossible damage due to electrical overload or voltage.
In their normal state the filaments have continuity at their ends (C, D). This over voltage causes this filament to heat up and break (C.1, C.2), not passing electrical energy and protecting the circuit while minimizing the risk of fire.

We can find all kinds of fuses, according to their amperage, design etc.
Among the most common we can findr:

• Cylindrical fuse glass material. They are usually used in most household appliances, power supplies, etc.
• Fuses for Blade vehicles. They are the fuses that protect the electrical installation of the vehicle, usually they are of the same type and design in most vehicles, according to their amperage they have a specific color.
• Brown = 5 A
• Red = 10 A
• Blue = 15 A
• Yellow= 20 A
• Colorless = 25 A
• Green = 30 A
• Fuses for mini vehicles: It is the same as the previous one but of a smaller size.
• Fuses for Maxi vehicles: It is the same as the previous one but of a larger size.
• Midi Fuses
• Mega Fuses
• Reed fuses
• High voltage or industrial fuses
