UK ASTA BS1363/A Overmold Fuse Max 13A Plug moulded with custom length, color European type PVC, Rubber flexible cables mains lead.
UK Power Cord products with ASTA certification are manufactured to BS 1363 and IEC standards designed for United Kingdom power cord applications. We are producing many BS1363(A) UK AC power cords in standard configurations and can make custom lengths as well. Our UK power cables are fully molded, high-quality, and RoHS(REACH)compliant.
The BS1363 mains plug mandates the use of an over-current fuse.IEC 320 C5, C7, C13, C14, C15, C19 connectors are often molded with UK plugs and In Great Britain the electricity supplied by the normal wall inlet is called the mains power system and therefore UK power cords are often referred to as UK mains leads, UK mains cords, UK mains cables, UK line cords and UK mains power leads.
Application for UK power cable: computer, electric cooker, monitors, scanners, printers, and other devices

British Plug Overview

To begin with, a British plug, commonly referred to as a BS (British Standard) plug, represents a power plug designed according to British Standard specifications. Delving deeper, these plugs can be classified into two distinct types: assembly-type and injection-type. To illustrate, the assembly-type British plug features a detachable design that enables customization, while the injection-type variant is typically molded as a single, non-detachable unit.

Moving on to standardization, the most prevalent British Standards governing these plugs include BS1363, BS546, and BS5733. What’s more, these standards strictly define the technical requirements for products entering the UK market. Interestingly enough, the British plug’s usage extends far beyond the United Kingdom itself. For example, numerous countries such as Nigeria, Tanzania, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Singapore, the Maldives, and Hong Kong (China) have adopted this plug design.

Turning our attention to BS 1363, this standard - formally titled “13 A plugs, socket-outlets, adaptors and connection units” - serves as the cornerstone for the UK’s electrical connection system. According to recent data from the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), this British standard has achieved remarkable global adoption, being implemented in over 50 countries worldwide. More specifically, several nations have even developed their own national standards derived from BS 1363, including Ireland, Malaysia, Malta, Singapore, Bahrain, Sri Lanka, and Saudi Arabia, to name a few.

To summarize, the British plug system demonstrates impressive versatility and international influence. Not only does it power devices across the United Kingdom, but also facilitates electrical connections in dozens of other countries around the world. Ultimately, this widespread adoption speaks volumes about the reliability and effectiveness of British Standard electrical specifications.

As a final point, the transition from assembly-type to injection-type designs reflects evolving manufacturing approaches in the electrical components industry. This evolution continues today, with new innovations building upon these established British standards.

This plug has three rectangular pins forming an isosceles triangle. The BS 1363 plug has a fuse rated to protect the appliance and its flexible cord from overload and consequent fire risk. Modern appliances may only be sold with a fuse of the appropriate size pre-installed.
