IC Sockets Sales Market Competitive Developmental and Business Overviews to 2023 | Extension Sockets

First, a quick note on outlets: The vertical slots in the outlet are called “shutters,” and the small hole beneath each set of shutters is the “ground.” Most outlets will accept either 2-prong or 3-prong plugs. If your home has older wiring, the third hole (the “ground”) may not be present. Keep this anatomy in mind as you try the following troubleshooting tips.

We saw from early solutions and deployments early last year, but the challenge of maintaining business continuity was trying to upgrade infrastructure and systems to support new mobile platforms is taking time for most of the industry to solve. In both cases, the investment and preparation we’ve done by releasing our new capture SCK, SocketScan and DuraScan products has this ready as these market factors are sorted out.

By Ruwandi Gamage  The plan by the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) to ban the sale of round pin five amp and 15 amp plugs, wall sockets and related appliances countrywide from January, and retail only square pin, 13 amp plugs and wall sockets, ran into opposition this week with industry representatives slamming the regulator for failing to conduct adequate consultation and consider the higher expenses for consumers.   According to this regulation, round pin five amp and 15 amp plugs, wall sockets, multi-plugs, extension wires and any electrical appliances with the mentioned plugs are to be banned from being sold in shops. This move is to put forth a single standard for plugs and socket outlets and for 13 amp plugs and socket outlets (square pin) to be the only national standard used in Sri Lanka. “Since only 13 amp plugs, socket outlets and electrical appliances with 13 amp plugs will be available in shops effective from 1 January 2019, when the consumer buys any new electrical appliance they will also have to purchase a ‘one-to-one converter’ so that the issue of plugging in a 13 amp square-pin plug to an existing five amp round-pin socket outlet will be eliminated,” Institute of Engineers Sri Lanka representative Dr. Tilak Siyambalapitiya explained as a PUCSL representative. Dr. Siyambalapitiya further clarified that if any damage occurs to a round pin five amp wall socket outlet in the household, office or any non-industrial setting, the replacement of that will be a temporary six amp square pin wall socket. However, a different ‘one-to-one converter’ will then have to be purchased because the six amp square pin wall socket outlet will not fit with the 5 amp round pin plugs of existing electrical appliances. Sankha Wahalawatta, a representative from the Steering Committee for the ‘Five and fifteen ampere ban’, claims that the committee has not even met once since the implementation to aid in the transition of implementing the single standardisation which is the 13 amp square pin plug and socket outlet. “If there is a regulation that is being brought about, the practicality is not only to consult an expert committee but also to weigh in the feedback of the manufacturer and consumer,” he said. Some of the SMEs that were present at the press briefing claimed that they were only made aware of this regulation about five months ago and that they needed more time to transition their business towards this change and asked for the due date to be postponed.  They also voiced their concerns regarding the long process that they are faced with to acquire the requisite SLS certification and claimed that most imported plugs, socket outlets, multi-plugs and extensions received SLS certification, without any overdue. In response, a PUCSL representative detailed that the process to bring about this regulation was initiated back in 2015, where one public consultation was held by the PUCSL in which about 500 members of the public participated to voice their opinions about this regulation. The Cabinet Paper was passed to bring about this ban by December 2017, which was further postponed until 1 January 2019. The PUCSL had explained that a relief period of two years for manufacturers and one year for importers were given to smoothen the transition towards implementing this regulation. Pic by Lasantha Kumara

NASA’s New Horizons probe is racing toward the most distant space object ever explored, 4.1 billion miles from Earth

One could say that with the adoption of the Type 2 socket, the AC charging speed battle has begun in earnest as other manufacturers such as Jaguar, Nissan and Hyundai are losing out in the advertising battle by currently only offer single phase 7kW AC charging.

From recharging smart devices in the backcountry to powering lights and small appliances in times of emergency, it’s essentially the most heavy-duty flashlight you’ve ever seen.

The outlets on this power strip rotate so that you can easily plug in your gadgets from multiple different angles—the EchoGear surge protector is in the typical long, thin power strip form though, which could be useful depending on the space you need it for. It has an eight-foot cord and can withstand a maximum current spike of 144,000A.

Please ignore the comments about an old TV show. I am missing a lower leg and sure do have difficulty the prosthesis that be of great help even if also using a cane also mosti nsurance will not payfor. which if had would greatly increase my mobility and perhaps also be abel to work again. I have met people with no limbs at all therefore it’s impossible to have a good life. There are millions of us and very few get want they need because of the mainly of the insurance factor. Grated these systems can be rather expense but being non productive in society costs even more.

There’s an accessory to address this, though I do think it’s one that should have been included in the box, rather than cost an additional $59. The Osmo Pocket Control Wheel slides into the same slot as the Lightning or USB-C connectors. It adds a dedicated physical control to move the gimbal, as well as a couple of extra control buttons. I expect it will make the Pocket a lot more pleasant and intuitive to use as a standalone device, and have asked DJI to send one over for review.

Effectively Tesla has finally picked a side, and in doing so signals that CCS DC is almost certainly going to become the single DC charging plug standard.
