Name this connector!

What are these connectors called?

They're on the mains side of our Toshiba netbook PSUs and we need the male version to make a pat testing adapter cable but can't find them on the RS website:confused:

I'm sure one of you good people will know!

We refer to it as a Mickey Mouse connector

not sure what its official name is though (Triple? Triangle? Pyramid?)

[LeMarchand]

Clover leaf.

[adamchapman]

Yea, it's a Clover

Single handedly the best picture I have ever seen posted on this board.

 

Also, I think I might start labelling my box of them Steve too, though I do wish you'd been naming an IEC C13, I have much more of them.

I was first introduced to them as Mickey mouse cables but I believe they are more commonly referred to as cloverleaf.

 

When I was on about them to my boss and called them Mickey Mouse cables I think he thought I'd gone mad!

If you are trying to pat test the PSU some are going to fail a pat test by the way they are designed as the earth does no travel all the way through the cable only to the psu - I know this is the case the HP chargers we have so would be something to bear in mind incase you suddenly condem all your laptop chargers!
