Any reccomendations of suppliers of good quality IEC plugs and sockets. I have tried the ebay and CPC ones but find them very awkward to wire.

Any suggestions ??

Cheers :beer1:

Oh yuss. That tried and tested favourite, the search facility. I seem to remember Vectis giving an Idiots guide on wiring them.

You need the type that have screw terminals, like a normal 13A plug -

THESE are very good and about £1.50 an item cheaper if you're not VAT registered (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/8-x-professional-FEMALE-IEC-plug-easywire-special-/110444887069?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item19b7073c1d)

Dan do you have shares in CPC?
Or do you camp outside the office when they have a sale on :D

Nope, they're just be best "one stop shop" for all the things I need And you can pretty much guarantee they'll have your order on the doorstep the morning after you order.

No need for camping either, I get at least 3 catalogues a week to let me know of the bargains :D :D :D

My cee-forms actually came from Electrovision, when they were on sale at about a quid each! :D
