{"product_id":"additions-3a-plug-adaptor-45mm-long-black","title":"Additions 3A Plug Adaptor 45mm Long - Black","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the small black adaptor that lets a two-pin European plug sit safely in a British socket. It is rated at 3A, which covers table lamps, floor lamps, chargers and similar light loads rather than heaters or kettles. The body is a compact cube of roughly 44mm on each side, so it does not crowd a twin socket or fight with the plug beside it. Everything happens at the socket: the European plug pushes into the front, the British pins go into the wall. It is a Class 1 part, so an earth connection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe sell a lot of these to people who have brought a lamp back from France, Spain or Italy and would rather keep the original flex as it is. They are just as useful for a European appliance bought online, or for a small item that travels between a UK home and a holiday flat. It is the sort of thing worth keeping in a drawer, because the need for one always arrives on a Sunday evening. Keep it to dry indoor rooms; it is no good in a garden, a greenhouse or anywhere near a bath or shower. We plug ours straight into the socket rather than into a daisy chain of extension leads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe case is black throughout, which keeps it quiet behind a sideboard or against a dark socket. Care takes seconds: unplug it, wipe the case with a dry cloth, and check the pins are clean and straight before it goes back in. It carries a three year warranty. It sits in a wider range of small electrical parts we keep on the shelf, including a clear plugtop, IEC leads, cable grips in black and clear, and E27 lampholders in black and white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.03KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials Used\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlastic Polycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA++ to D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtection Class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass 1 - Earth Connection Required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Voltage (V)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220-240V~50\/60Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3yrs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUKCA\/CE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePieces Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat will a 3A rating actually run?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAround 700W at UK mains, so table and floor lamps, chargers, clocks, radios and other low draw items.
