Continuing a tradition of asking obscure questions...
I'm looking for a female plug, or small receptacle, for the British BS
1363 standard. This is the standard used for wall power outlets in
Britain and other areas, including Malta.
The thing is, it should be as small as possible because I want to put it
inside a wall. See, I've bought one of those snazzy thingies that you
put underneath your wall-mounted LCD TV, and from which you can mount
your DVD player, set-top box, etc.
The issue is with the set-top box. It comes with a non-detachable BS
1363 plug, and I'd hazard a guess that the cable operator (who formally
owns the box) wouldn't be too pleased if I cut off the plug, or screw it
open and change the wiring. Therefore, I'd like to hide the female
plug/receptacle in the wall, and so it should be as small as possible.
There's also a TV, but there I can use CEE 7/16 'europlug', and the DVD
player also has such a plug. For these, I could use small female plugs.
But any help with BS 1363 would be greatly appreciated.
