How to replace the electric plug correctly

Sometimes there is a situation that you want to change the old to the new fork. So why for such a petty cause electrical work and pay him good money for 15 minutes of work. In this article I will detail tell and show how to change a euro and a Soviet-style plug.

required tools

In order to do work is always required to have a set of tools. So we need: a soldering iron, pliers, a cutting knife, a screwdriver.

Change the broken europlug

Suppose one of the contacts in your plug simply just fell apart or weld. You can of course carefully dismantle the old one, but if the length of the wire allows it, simply cut the cord near the plug.

Then remove the protective insulation from lived an amount not less than 7 cm, and the strands themselves clean by an amount not less than 1.5 cm.

The next step is to twist the bare wires to seal them.

You can, of course, now ready to install new wires inside the socket, but I recommend you to tin the exposed part of the veins. This will ensure a more reliable and confident contact inside the plug and reduce the risk of heating and melting. Tinned wires are as follows:

Everything now proceed to the most important process, namely the connection of wires in the plug.

Remember the most important thing! Yellow green stripe conductor with a protective grounding and it must be installed in specially designed a grounding contact, but the remaining two contacts are put in contact arbitrary, here zero-phase alternating absolutely important.

Important. Tighten the contacts as much as possible, because if you make a bad broach, then at this point (during of the connected device through this plug) heating will occur, the aforesaid can cause short circuit.

The next step should be to fix a wire, as shown in the picture

And at the finish was just about the case itself. All you can now use the newly assembled plug.

Replace Soviet-style plug

If for any reason you need to replace the old Soviet plug, put the exact same "new", the sequence of actions is as follows:

Cut away the old plug and dismantle the "new", just as described above, we clean the wire and strands.

And only then begin small differences. Earlier Soviet standard plug-in connection is not used, but only to use the compound under the "lamb." Therefore, the exposed ends are twisted in and take the ring to a diameter of our bolt. You should end up like this

Then connect the wires to the pins in a random order.

After that, collect the plug

That's so easy you can do this quite simple procedure. Thanks for attention.
