Abstract (en)
The present invention provides an electrical plug which will more usually be an integral part of an electrical device such as a transformer, rectifier or the like adapted to be plugged directly into an electrical power socket. The plug part of the device is constructed to be in two parts, the first part (C) being a support and forming part of the electrical device and having a plurality of apertures to receive different electrical pin arrangements, and the second part being a plate (D) supporting a pin arrangement, the second part being the part which dictates the type and rating of an electrical socket into which the device can be plugged. Thus, when the devices are constructed in the factory, they can be constructed with appropriate second parts to render the devices suitable for use in a particular country so that in producing a plurality of the devices for use in different countries only the second part need differ from device to device depending upon the country of use.
