I've had
far too many problems with the normal moulded cables --
things
like marginally-rated cable (certainly not 6A),
earth not properly
connected, live/neutral reversed, no strain relief, and so on that I
now
refuse to use them (and am grdually replacing all
the ones here).
I've rarely had any problem, but then I'm generally reusing cables
sthat have been tested, and tend not to exceed the ratings. What is the
connector like the normal 'kettle plug' with round pins?
I've
only ever seen it in the chassis socket/cable
plug configuration.
Dunno -- that might be one of the Bulgin range? Or do you mean one in which the housing also looks a bit like three
cylinders welded
together, instead of a rectangular block with corners cut off? That's
also an IEC connector, rated 2.5A. I've seen a couple of laptop power
suplies with those.
No, certainly not that one, and not any of the normal Bulgin connectors.
