Review on πŸ”Œ Legrand-Pass & Seymour SA993BKCC10 Black Connector: 15-Amp, 125-Volt Straight Blade, Two Pole Three Wire by Robert Jaskolski

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I cannot recommend this ladies fork. Very bad design and unsafe.

I haven't written many reviews lately but thought it would be a good idea to warn others about this poorly designed plug. As others have said, this design makes the fork difficult to install. I've installed plugs wired this way many times in the past, but this plug has a much more serious problem. That means there is no stress relief. Well-designed connectors allow the connector to be pulled into the cable insulation (where the outer insulation of the cables is not stripped). So when using them, NEVER pull the cord to disconnect. Of course, you should definitely not pull the cord, but let's face it, people are lazy. A well-designed connector has a way of tightening the connector on the cable. Heavy duty forks have a clamp. To work around this problem, I tried attaching a zip tie to the end of the exposed cable, tightening it, and cutting it off. But even with the smallest zipper, the plug cannot be mounted. The only thing holding the wires in this connector are the terminals themselves. If someone pulls on the cable it's attached to, the connections could come loose and the wires could short out. In any case, they are cheap, difficult to install and unsafe. I won't be using them and suggest if you're considering them look elsewhere.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Plug required
