A “2 pin power cord” typically refers to an ungrounded power cable used for small or double-insulated electronic devices.<\/p>\n
The most common types of 2-pin connectors found on the device end of a power cord (the female connector) are:<\/p>\n
IEC 60320 C7 Connector (Figure-8 or Infinity Connector):<\/p>\n
Shape: It has a distinctive figure-8 or sideways infinity symbol shape.<\/p>\n
Pins: It has two round or slightly flattened parallel holes.<\/p>\n
Use: Very common on low-power devices like:<\/p>\n
Older radios and stereos<\/p>\n
Some TV power supplies<\/p>\n
Laptop power supply bricks<\/p>\n
Game consoles (like some Xbox and PlayStation models)<\/p>\n
DVD\/Blu-ray players<\/p>\n
Variations: It can be non-polarized (symmetrical) or polarized (one side is flat\/squared to ensure a specific orientation).<\/p>\n
IEC 60320 C17 Connector:<\/p>\n
Shape: It looks very similar to the standard 3-pin PC power cord (C13), but without the grounding pin\/hole. It is a rectangular shape with two holes spaced like a C13\/C14 connector.<\/p>\n
Pins: Two holes.<\/p>\n
Use: Used for some devices that require a higher current rating than a C7 but are still double-insulated (Class II) and do not require a ground. Examples include some specific power supplies for game consoles or audio equipment.<\/p>\n
If you are referring to the plug that goes into the wall outlet, a 2-pin plug usually refers to the NEMA 1-15P in North America, which has two flat blades and no grounding pin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
