Lookalikes and how to tell them apart

Two flat blades at right angles, in a T. The maker publishes no datasheet rating, and copies vary a lot in quality.

Before you plug it in

The current rating is a maximum per contact, at the wire size the maker states. With thinner wire, or with every contact carrying current, stay well below it.

Figures from the makers’ catalogues and datasheets. Ratings are maxima: derate for thin wire and for many loaded contacts.
