> All the ones I've got here seem to be the same flex as everything else
And what size is that? Most (though sadly not all) flex has it's CSA =

printed on the outer sheath. 0.75mm=B2 flex is rated for 6A and 1.0mm=B2 =

flex is rated for 10A. I've seen a lot of IEC Male-female leads with =

0.75mm=B2 too (which I personally consider dodgy since in that =

configuration there is no fuse).

Note that it's pretty hard to visually tell the difference between =

0.75mm=B2 and 1.0mm=B2, with cables that size variations in insulation =

thickness can make considerablly more difference than variations in CSA.

If you plan to draw more than 6A through an IEC connector in europe (I =

dunno what the situation is with american cable types and voltage) you =

need to carefully check that all the cables are rated to deal with that. =

Since users probablly won't do that if I was designing a product for =

other people to use I would find some other connector.
