Wattgate Connector Measurements


Gang, I was so disappointed with my recent Wattgate purchase that I made a whole posting about my findings. I would be curious to know who can validate, or refute my post with data of their own.

What I’m feeling is the pin grip mechanism keep it from accepting the full width of an IEC pin.

From what I can see from a clear casing Wattage, its spring clips are deeper form the surface compare to others in the market. That could be a problem if it cannot inserted into the inlet all the way.

 

 

 

@imhififan I could understand making the pin covers longer in cases where you needed to access a recessed inlet, but you'd think they'd also make the pins longer too, right?

Although the pin is 12mm length, I think the clip 6mm from the surface is a little too much, 2-3mm is more reasonable, IMO.🤔
