Product Information

Full details

This Kopp plug is designed for users needing a reliable, safe, and convenient way to connect electrical devices, particularly in situations where a right-angle connection is beneficial. Its key benefit is the integrated switch for easy power control, along with a robust plastic construction and hybrid CEE 7/7 fitting for broad compatibility. A potential caveat for some users might be the fixed bottom cable entry, which may limit placement options in very tight spaces.

FAQs

What type of sockets does this plug fit?

This plug features a CEE 7/7 (T) hybrid fitting, which is compatible with both Type E (French) and Type F (Schuko) grounded sockets.

Can I use this plug for high-power appliances?

Yes, the plug is rated for 230V and 16A, making it suitable for most high-power household appliances.

How do I wire this plug?

You will need to strip the power cord, connect the live, neutral, and ground wires to their respective terminals inside the plug, and secure the cable entry before closing the housing.

Is the switch mechanism durable?

The switch is designed for typical use. For longevity, avoid forcing it and keep the plug clean. If it becomes faulty, the plug should be replaced.

What is the benefit of the right-angle design?

The right-angle design allows cables to exit the plug parallel to the wall, saving space, reducing strain on the cable, and creating a neater installation, especially behind furniture.

Can I replace the cable on this plug?

Yes, the plug can be rewired. You will need to open the housing, disconnect the old cable, and connect a new one following the same wiring procedure.

What color is the plug?

The plug is Arctic White, corresponding to RAL9016.

Troubleshooting

Plug does not turn on/off the connected device.

Ensure the plug is properly seated in the socket and the switch is in the correct position. Verify that the internal wiring is correctly connected to the terminals and the device itself is functional.

Device powers off intermittently.

Check the cable connections inside the plug for looseness. Inspect the power cord for damage. Ensure the plug is not overloaded beyond its 16A rating.

Plug feels warm during operation.

This could indicate an overload. Ensure the connected device does not exceed the 16A limit. If the warmth persists with a low-load device, check for loose internal connections or consider replacing the plug.

Switch is difficult to move.

Dust or debris may be obstructing the switch mechanism. Try cleaning around the switch. If the issue persists, the switch may be faulty and the plug should be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare Cable: Strip the outer insulation of the power cord to expose the live, neutral, and ground wires.
  2. Connect Wires: Securely connect each wire to the corresponding terminal inside the plug. Ensure connections are firm and correctly matched (typically L to Live, N to Neutral, and the ground wire to the earth terminal). The bottom cable entry should be secured to prevent strain on the internal connections.
  3. Close Plug: Carefully reassemble the plug housing, ensuring no wires are pinched.

Compatibility:

  • Sockets: Compatible with CEE 7/7 (T) hybrid sockets, which accept both Type E (French) and Type F (Schuko) grounded plugs.

  • Cable Type: Designed for standard power cables with appropriate wire gauges for 16A load.

Care:

  • Keep the plug clean and dry. Wipe with a slightly damp cloth if necessary; do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.
  • Periodically check the plug and cable for any signs of damage. If damaged, discontinue use immediately and replace the plug.
  • Ensure the switch operates smoothly. If it becomes stiff or faulty, replace the plug.
