MEGA is pleased to announce that we have now added angled locking C13 connectors, extending our range of locking EN60320 connectors and AC outlets.  Needing no additional hardware or custom mating inlet, these locking C13 connectors can be implemented immediately into your production cycle eliminating the need for brackets and the associated labor costs that come with installing them.

These unique connectors will stay connected up to about 200 newtons of force. They are designed for use anywhere that shock or vibration can result in accidental disconnect.

The main advantage of using MEGA’s Locking Series over other options on the market is the adaptability of the products. Other products on the market require you to buy both the connector and a unique inlet or to implement a retaining bracket. MEGA’s products will plug into any C14 or C20 receptacle that meets EN standards and can result in significant savings of labor and materials by eliminating the use of a bracket or additional hardware.

The locking C13 comes either fully molded or assembled and compliments the company’s full range of non-locking power cords.
