Slimline 13A Plug

Looked for a pic and found this!

John says it is sleeved and live terminal is different.

Ah yes, and the reason they lost favour with me. That's the later version where I found the wire holes are smaller and 2.5mm² was not as easy and the fuse clip had been degraded to a riveted clip and never as 'efficient' as the original :cry: and the price shot up:cry:

On the plus side, they were much more compact, lighter, than the standard plugs, unbreakable, and so were great for highly portable equipment, especially test equipment - until fitted plugs came along.

We used to get them from the wholesaler and I'd like to say something like half the price of MK suddenly they jumped to way above the price of an MK which I think was around the time of decimalisation. For a short while we used some other nylon plugs instead but then they vanished.
 
They were one of my favourites for a while, very secure and took a 2.5mm cable with ease and 2 screws so added safety. I may still have some on unused amplifiers etc.

I'd only seen white, black and red before encountering that green one a few years ago in a rental property tripping RCD (look how it's wired!) I very well may still have it if it's wanted.
As per the above, I no longer need a slimline plug due to a rethink of layout, but thanks for the offer.
