3 Prong IEC Fused British Power Cord Standard BS1363A ASTA Certification

Brief introduction

BS 1363 "13 A plugs, socket-outlets, adaptors and connection units" is the main plug and socket type used in the United Kingdom. According to the IEC it is also used in over 50 countries worldwide. Some of these countries have national standards based on BS 1363, including: Ireland, Malaysia, Malta, Singapore, and Saudi Arabia.

This plug, commonly called a 13 A plug or 13 amp plug, has three rectangular pins forming an isosceles triangle. The BS 1363 plug has a fuse which is suitably rated to protect the appliance's flexible cord from overload.

BS1363 and BS1363/A British and UK three prong fused power cord molded plug with the British ASTA certification as well as G Mark (7 Middle East Gulf Countries), HKSI (Hong Kong), PSB Spring (Singapore), and SASO (Saudi Arabia) certifications. Built to the British standard BS1363 for British power cord plugs and rated up to 13A 250V~, 10A 250V~, 5A 250V~ or 3A 250V~ depending upon wire and fuse selected. In Great Britain the electricity supplied by the normal wall inlet is called the mains power system and therefore this UK power cord plug is also referred to as the UK mains plug, the BS1363 mains plug or British mains power plug. Our BS1363 power cords are fully molded with a low profile ergonomic design and RoHS and REACH compliant.

Our UK BS1363 power cord mains plugs are certified to the BS1363 and BS1363/A standards. The "A" in the BS 1363/A means that in addition to being rated and certified for "normal use", our UK plugs are certified to withstand "rough use" environments and recommended for any custom UK mains power leads
