BS1363 Plugs - MK Durable Rubber Cased

Large MK plug with rubber outer covering.

Outside

Pins on MK rubber covered white 13A plugMK rubber covered white 13A plug This rather grubby MK plug has a rubber outer cover and a hard plastic inner section. Pins are unsleeved, and there is a chip out of the neutral pin.

This style is designed to be more robust than the all-plastic version, as the outer rubber will absorb some impacts and prevent breakage when dropped.

Cover has the oval MK logo and the word FUSED.

Inside

Inside a MK rubber covered white 13A plug A 13A fuse is fitted, and there are a few strands of wire left on the neutral terminal.

Note the post type terminals, where the wire is wrapped around a post and secured with a screw on top, rather than the more common terminals with a hole in the side.

The cover has a hole through which the flex is passed before wiring - there is a cut in this as someone obviously forgot to put the flex through there and decided to slash the cover rather than remove and replace the flex.
