Female Kettle Connector

The Female Kettle Connector is a direct replacement mains input/output connector commonly used on industrial battery chargers fitted to access platforms such as Skyjack and Genie machines. It is typically the IEC 60320 C13 socket, which forms the female connector on charger leads or internal charger wiring, allowing a standard kettle lead (C14 plug cable) to connect securely.

This connector is designed for reliable AC power transfer to onboard or standalone battery charging systems. It ensures a stable, safe electrical connection between the charger and mains supply, and is widely used in industrial, workshop, and mobile access equipment charging systems.

FUNCTION AND OPERATION

• Provides mains power connection point for battery chargers
• Interfaces with standard IEC “kettle lead” power cables
• Ensures secure and stable AC power delivery
• Supports charging systems in access platforms and industrial equipment
• Designed for repeated connection/disconnection in service environments

TECHNICAL DETAILS

• Type: IEC 60320 C13 female connector (charger inlet/socket)
• Function: AC mains power input/output connection
• Application: Battery charger assemblies (Skyjack, Genie, and similar equipment)
• Voltage Rating: Typically up to 250V AC
• Current Rating: Commonly 10A (varies by charger design)
• Construction: Heat-resistant moulded or panel-mount thermoplastic housing with metal contact terminals
• Design: Standardised IEC profile for universal compatibility with C14 kettle leads

The IEC C13/C14 system is widely used across industrial and electronic equipment for detachable power connections, often referred to as a “kettle lead” system in workshop and field applications.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Suitable for a range of equipment, including:

• Skyjack battery chargers (scissor lifts and boom lifts)
• Genie battery chargers (access platforms and lifts)
• Industrial onboard charging systems
• Workshop and fleet maintenance chargers
• Portable and stationary electrical equipment

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Always confirm the correct connector type and charger model before ordering, as some battery chargers may use different IEC variants (e.g., C13, C15 high-temperature versions, or proprietary housings). Incorrect connector selection may result in poor fitment or unsafe electrical connection.
