Not sure which device you're talking about. I have a set of RS catalogs here -- Do you have their part number for this?

I'm surprised that they are allowed to lack shutters. Imagine a small child putting it in his or her mouth! It's a even easier and more natural than poking something into a wall socket.

Direct contact with line
Very wet ==> very low resistance
Central part of head ==> current through heart and spine
Very small child ==>
................... short path to floor ==> even lower resistance
................... Low weight ==> extra sensitive to current

Above factors taken together ==> extreme risk of electrocution

I would like to increase the length of the connectors by 5 mm and fit the female with a simple snap-lock just like a RJ-11 or RJ-45 plug.

Paul,
The device that I was referring to, has a
Part Number of 480-305, but this is only a
4 way unit, going by my 1996 edition, of the Catalouge.

I can't find that one in my RS catalogues (2000 Edition). They have 2-way leads from a 13A plug via a molded split to two IEC equipment sockets. 1 sq mm flex throughout.
