UK 3 Pin Plug to C7 Figure 8 Power Leads - TheBigShip - BS1363/A

A C7 connector, often called a Figure 8 connector due to its shape, is a type of power connector commonly found on electronic devices like DVD players, printers, and some TVs. It has two unpolarized pins and a distinct oval shape.

Check the power port on your device. If it has a small, oval-shaped socket for the power cable, it likely requires a C7 Figure 8 connector. Compare it to the shape of the plug on this lead.

Yes, this lead is BS1363/A approved, meaning it meets the strict safety standards for electrical equipment sold in the United Kingdom.

Only if your laptop's power adapter or the laptop itself has a C7 Figure 8 power input port. Many laptops use a different connector type (like C5 'cloverleaf' or C13 'kettle' lead).

This particular model is available in 2-meter and 5-meter lengths.

The UK 3-pin plug end is fitted with a standard 13A fuse, which is required for UK mains plugs.

Yes, the lead is RoHS compliant, indicating it adheres to regulations regarding hazardous substances.

Ensure both the C7 plug is fully inserted into the device and the UK mains plug is securely in the wall socket. Try a different wall socket to rule out an issue with the outlet. Verify that the device itself is functioning correctly.

Check that the C7 connection is not loose. Inspect the cable for any visible damage, cuts, or kinks. If damage is present, replace the lead. Ensure the wall socket is providing stable power.

While some warmth is normal, excessive heat could indicate an overload or a fault. Ensure the device's power consumption does not exceed the lead's rating (typically 13A, but check device specifications). If excessively hot, unplug and discontinue use.
