Re: Another unusual plug and some other questions
Reminds me of a more modern version of those "Clix" easy-fit plugs with the two cotter pins that get held in place by the twist-on cap.
I don't trust plugs that don't screw on. Here in the USA we have several brands of "Automatic" or "Easy" plugs that clamp on - with insulation displacement points that pierce the rubber on the wires to make contact. You insert the wire through the housing, into the centre device and squeeze together on the pins as you insert the whole contraption back into the housing.
They never really work right. Sometimes you can pull one out of the wall and the cap comes off in your hand (with the centre thing stuck in the outlet). This happens as they get old and get abused (read "plugged in more than once"
