Notes on IEC-309 part numbers and how to read them
Notes on the nomenclature     The first position
is the number of pins (3 in this case) Next is
the amps (60 in this case)  Next is P for plug, R
or C for recepticle (one is wall mount, one is on
a whip) Next is the clock position of the
recepticle ground pin (6 o'clock in this
case) Next is W for watertight

Notes on acquiring IEC-309 outlets
Some customers complain of difficulties acquiring
the outlets to connect these PDUs to. Here it is,
nice and simple Home Depot Sears There are
other places as well, but if they cant find
another source, these two should be everywhere.
