Hi Zane
See previous reply to Tony Duell.
It may be a US right angled kettle lead but its not a UK type.
Kettles here (at least ours does) use standard IEC connectors.
I'm in the UK...
The kettle we have here certainly uses the 'hot condition' IEC connector
with the notch. Now, that kettle is somehwat old (I've had to fit a new
element to it once), and it's the 'kettle' rather than 'jug' shape,
Maybe
newer kettles just use the normal IEC cable.
The kettle came with a moulded cable with the approrpate conenctors on
the end. After about a year, the IEC connector on the kettle end
developped bad contacts. I bougth a rewirabel (screw teerminal) socket
from, IIRC, Farnell, and have had no more problems with it.
