Generic Flower Cable (IEC C5 Power Cable)

The Generic Flower Cable is a 3-pin UK plug to IEC C5 power cable, commonly known as a “cloverleaf” or “Mickey Mouse” cable due to the three-lobed shape of its connector. It’s the standard power cord for many laptop power bricks, game consoles, and other compact electronics that use a small three-pronged connector rather than the larger C13 plug found on desktop PCs and monitors. The cable measures 1.5m, giving enough reach for typical desk or floor outlet setups, and terminates in a 13A fused UK 3-pin plug for safety. Rated to handle up to 10A, it comfortably covers the power draw of laptop chargers and small consoles without strain. If an original laptop power cord has frayed, gone missing, or stopped making a solid connection, this cable serves as a direct, straightforward replacement, provided the connected device uses the same C5 connector type.

Key Features

• IEC C5 “cloverleaf” connector, the standard plug type for many laptop chargers and game consoles
• 13A fused UK 3-pin plug, providing safe mains connection

Technical Specifications

Best Suited For

• Laptop owners needing a replacement power cord, when the original cable has frayed, broken, or gone missing
• Game console setups, since many consoles use the same C5 cloverleaf connector for their power supply
• Buyers who want a spare cable on hand, useful for keeping a backup at a second desk or when traveling

Recommended Action: Confirm your device’s power adapter uses a C5 (three-pronged, cloverleaf-shaped) connector before purchase, since it won’t fit devices using the larger C13 or figure-8 C7 connector types.
