Actually, @tomscott is wrong with this one:
You want #IEC60906-1 and not #BS1363 connectors because they are evidently superior on all cases...

I appreciate CEE 7/4 and CEE 7/3, too.
I was originally taught (about #BS1363) that (a) live was red, and (b) that red was the colour of blood.
And yes, live was no longer red at the time that I was taught this, and the person who taught it to me had no qualifications as an electrician. (-:
That surely has to be LLM-generated artwork.
The real one will likely not have sleeved pins and have a fake plastic earth pin.
The machine has not got the CEE 7/16 Europlug shape right, either. And that's a bloody unusual shape for a NEMA 1 plug, as well.

Oh my goodness! e-Bay has several instances of this crap. Some suckers are going to be very disappointed visiting the U.K. and finding that their cheap and nasty "power adapters" do not plug in.
Having seen how badly these '#AIs' do with simple wiring diagrams for Yorkshire plugs, I am deeply suspicious of Adafruit's promotion of an entire PCB designed by #GoogleGemini.
T' folk in 'Arrogate will have nowt to do with t' "Eh Aye"!
They power stuff with whippets and wrought iron, like proper folk.
Inspired by the last thread and @tautology , I actually went and asked #Bing how to wire #Yorkshire plugs, combining both ideas.
#MicrosoftCoPilot first suggested that I ask it about the differences between Yorkshire and U.K. plugs. So I did that. MS CoPilot in response confidently and authoritatively bullshitted me that 'Yorkshire plugs' are a name for older #BS546 electrical plugs.
Champion! (-:
Joking aside: It's the medical doctors who trust this stuff, which I've actually seen happen, that are scarier.
Sadly, in the more serious world, it's not the electricians but the medical doctors that one has to watch out for.
#USB continues to infiltrate our lives...
I might be at the point where I need to keep some things powered by USB, rather than constantly swapping a charging cable. So I thought I'd look for a multi-point charger, one that seems reliable, not a #fireHazard, that sort of thing. What comes up?
Lots of variations on this... 😞
#electrics #BS1363 #justStickARedWhiteAndBlueFlagOnItAndNooneWillNotice
That is just wild.
Even if rated for just 1A that is a lot of power compared to USB-C power delivery. I wonder why on Earth the vehicle manufacturer did that.
