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.

When carrying out an electrical installation or electrical circuit several factors must be taken into account, one of them is the selection of the appropriate cable. According to the installation and the use of the same we can find different diameters that support different loads. The cable section will also help us not to overheat our installation, since the larger the section, the greater the thermal resistance.
In the following table poWe can see the corresponding load supported for the different sections of cables.

The socket is the part that allows connecting the bulb to the socket. There is a wide selection of bushings for different types of bulbs. The nomenclature for each type includes 1 or more letters (type of lampholder), followed by 1 or more numbers (diameter of lampholder).
Example: The bush E27 would correspond to the type of thread E (Edison) of 27mm in diameter.

• E12: Diameter of 12mm, this is a tamYear smaller than the most commonly used standard E27.
• E14: It is the second most common cap, only varies a little of the E27, with a diameter of 14 to 17 mm. It is normally used for bulbs or lamps.
• E27: This is the most common cap. It has a thick cup shape with thread to be able to adapt to the connector. It measures 27mm wide.
• E40: Has a diameter of 40 mm, it is the largest thread of this tIpo.
• G4: With a distance between pins of 4.0 mm. It is a type of cap that is frequently used in appliqués, ceiling lamps and hanging lamps.
• G5.3: With a distance between pins of 5.33 mm. The GU 5.3 socket format is a format widely used in small led floodlights with transformer. Usually used in halogen lamps and dichroic halogens.
• GY6.35: With a distance between pins of 6.35 mm, trOf a model similar to the previous one.
• G9: With a ditancia between pins of 9,0 mm. Usually used for ceiling lamps and hanging lamps.
• G13: With a distance between pins of 12,7 mm. It is used in fluorescent tubes.
• GX53: With distance between pins of 53 mm. Its most common use is the installation in light bulbs to illuminate furniture or unusual places. It does not need transformer.
• GU10: With a distance between10 mm pins. The GU10 bushing shape is a widely used format in small transformerless LED spotlights. Usually used in dichroic halogen lamps.
• B22: Type of bayonet connector used in countries such as Africa, India and Ireland.
• MR16: Its use is normally limited to 12V halogen lamps.

As it is common in installations we can find a standard of colors in the electric cables.

These regulations help at a glance to understand the connection and the resolution of possible faults or failures.

Below we attach the color/cable relation for electrical installations.

1. The ground wire can be identified in several ways:
• Green cable.
• C cablegreen smell with a yellow line.
• Cable without insulation.
2. The neutral wire will be blue.
3. The phase cable can be identified in several ways:
• Any color different from neutral or earth.
• Black insulation.
• Brown isolate.
• Gray insulation.

The insulating or insulating tape is a fundamental element when making a repair or performing an electrical installation. The insulating tape will help us to protect and insulate the electrical cables from possible crossings or contacts between them or with other elements, guaranteeing that the connection is well insulated avoiding possible short circuits.
Its use is very simple, since being a flexible material allows us to apply it with comfort.
To achieve a perfect union, it is recommended that we wrap the tape covering half the cable and half over the joint, stretching the tape slightly while rolling obliquely.

• For the ground wire, colored insulation tape will be used:
• Green.
• Green with a yellow line.
• For the neutral cable, blue insulating tape will be used.
• For the cable the phase isYou can use any other color:
• Any color different from neutral or earth.
• Black insulating tape.
• Brown insulating tape.
• Gray insulating tape.

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.

In the image:

1. Current by pulsations.
2. Direct current (DC).
3. Alternating current (AC).
4. Variable current.

ABS material (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is a type of thermoplastic that is very resistant to impact or shock.

Its applications are several, for example is a material widely used in the manufacture of interiors or components of cars such as moldings, as well as in products for domestic use such as toys, tools, housings of electrical devices etc.

One of its most important characteristics is its great tenacidad in almost all types of temperatures.

Being a very hard material has good chemical resistance, low water absorption and high resistance to abrasion, where other types of plastics would be more brittle.

This type of material is becoming very famous in the particular field and widely used due to the great growth in the sales of domestic 3D printers, the main printing raw material.next to the PLA.

Identification of ABS
Parts that are made of ABS material must be marked in accordance with ISO 11469 (DIN 58840).
