Default Re: Switched Plug failure

Have you spotted the actual problem though...

the arm with the palladium (is that what they use?) contact is inverted. The electrical contact is being made with the bare underside where the contact is riveted through.

I have another white plug the same and on that it is correct. I also have 5 of the black versions in use and they seem OK as well. Two out of three in error for the white ones isn't good.

You can see here on a black one the correct fitting with the contact point 'downward' toward its waiting other half.
