Nope, normally 3A. 3A, 5A and 13A are the most common sizes, with plugs
commonly available off the shelf with 3A fitted, though I keep 1A, 2A,
7A and 10A as well.
BTW, those C5/C6 connectors are almost universal on HP, Sony, and
Toshiba laptops over here. PITA. If you ever need to buy a spare, you
can bet it'll cost twice as much as the same cable with a C13 on it.
C13 connector cables are commonly fitted with 5A fused plugs for PCs
(and used to be for CRTs) or 3A for LCDs etc.
