Where to Buy CEE 7/7 Plugs for Burial Cable?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around finding separate CEE 7/7 plugs for connecting to burial cable, as cutting connectors from existing cords is not viable. The original poster found one source, StayOnline, but is deterred by high shipping costs to Belgium. Suggestions include checking local hardware stores in Belgium for similar plugs, as they are more readily available in the US. Additionally, contacting suppliers listed on a provided link may yield more options. The conversation highlights the challenge of sourcing Euro plugs compared to other types.

I was wondering where I could get separate CEE 7/7 plugs?
Separate because I want to connect them to burial cable, so cutting off connectors from existing power cords is not an option.
So far I only found http://www.stayonline.com/detail.aspx?ID=11520" , but they charge 45$ for shipping costs (I’m based in Belgium), even if it’s just for one plug!

Thank you in advance!

In the US, we can pick up plugs like that (well, US version, not Euro) at the local hardware stores in the electrical section. Do you have similar stores in Belgium?

I know this is also the case with British plugs, but for some reason finding separate Euro plugs seems to be harder...
 
Try contacting some of the suppliers on this list:

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
