Small mains-rated plug/sockets - suggestions ?

You could probably do with something like

I can't see *that* design ever coming to market, form over function, there just isn't a good enough way to route the L/N wires though the rotating joint (the video even shows it shorting them together while rotated flat when it's supposed to be able to be used flat too).

The USB charger version of this one is at least available, I've been waiting for the "shaver" version for ages though ...

is also the (not quite so) slimplug.com version with folding pins, but anything 13A probably wouldn't help in this case anyway.

You're probably right - nice idea if it *did* work, though.

Full size 13A wouldn't be any good - otherwise the OP would just have used standard plugs. However, the one I cited claimed to be able to use the plugs flat and stack them - so that several shared one socket, and only took up the space of one regular plug. But if it doesn't work . .

I often use ST18 connectors for semi-permanent mains connections :

If the application is commercial, the safest option would be 2A round pin plugs or klik plugs-n-sockets which go down to architrave box size.

Thanks - one to remember...... I think I'll go with inline IEC for the time being...

[Adrian Brentnall]

Tis only myself that will be getting blown up by this - so I guess that makes it non-commercial.....

IEC seems to be the simplest colution - and I've got a box-full of 'donor' cables in the shed...

Thanks

Apart from cost, I've a feeling the LNE connectors ain't approved for domestic use.
