Review: Best connectors - tough and reliable! - I needed to replace the EHU for our motorhome, after the cable shorted and burnt through due to bending. I replaced all of the items, including the mains plug and all of the 16A plugs and sockets (NB: I used a 90 degree socket for the final hookup to the van, to eliminate cable bending). This plug and socket were used to join the short length of cable between the mains plug and the main length of cable we take with us. The mains plug is in a protected external socket on the house wall; although the mains plug is therefore sealed from the weather, I was never very happy about the 16A plug/socket attached to it, because water could run down the cable and potentially enter. The gland round most 16A sockets seems more designed for easy assembly than waterproofness. So the design of the seal on these plugs and sockets really appealed to me. They are well made, and easy to assemble. There have been several negative reviews about the assembly, but if you study the components for a short while - perhaps even have a practice assembly without the cable - then you shouldn't have a problem. I did not find the press/twist dis-assembly mechanism difficult to operate, though there is a slight element of '3 hands required' as the 2 parts need to be twisted at the same time as pressing down on the release catch. But I managed with just 2 hands! The terminals are good, easy to wire, with a secure cable clamp. Just watch the lengths for stripping the cable/cores. The gland is very good, seems completely watertight, but worth mentioning a couple of things. First, the screw cap is slightly odd to start off. Push it down as far as it will go before starting to turn; it seems to 'skip' threads at the beginning, but once you start to tighten, they hold. Second, tighten it well. The gland has plenty clearance to begin with (I was using 2.5mm Arctic cable) but snugs in nicely due to the ribbed cone design. Keep tightening until you cant turn any further - though I suggest you do this by hand only. One final point; the finished gland WILL collect some water, depending on how it is orientated. But if you have tightened it properly, the inside of the connector should remain dry. Obviously I cant comment on durability yet, I will update this review if there are any issues. But I have no hesitation in recommending these, and will definitely buy this type of connector when required in future. UPDATE: So, after 3 years, I have re-ordered these connectors. Why? Because the originals had finally filled with water, corroded the terminals a bit and tripped the breaker. Why did I reorder? 3 YEARS! and the connectors were outside pretty much all of that time, exposed to the rain and weather. I will try to remember to open the new ones now and again and dry them out if required; but if I get anything like 3 years out of this set, then I will very happily buy them once again. Thats ruggedness!!

Thats ruggedness!! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Kauf *by E***S on 30 January 2025* Alles okay ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far, so good. *by R***N on 7 May 2026* Got these with 30m of Arctic Blue to make up a hook-up cable for the narrowboat to replace the faded and cracked orange cable that came with the boat when we bought it. One warning - don't lock the two halves of each connector together before you wire them up, as they don't come apart easily - I learned the hard way. They fit well with other brands of connector, and seem to be pretty rugged. Time will tell, but so far so good. ## Frequently Bought Together - 16 Amp 240v Site Trailing Plug & Socket 230v 16a 3 Pin PCE 240 Volt Blue Hook Up 1X 3001655 1X 3001678 - HW Electronics PCE 16 Amp 240v Site Trailing Plug & Socket 230v 16a 3 Pin PCE 240 Volt Blue Hook Up (Male) - SPARES2GO 16A Splitter Cable 240V Caravan Motorhome 2 Way Hook Up Y Piece 2 x 16 Amp Sockets (Blue) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/489385023-pce-16-amp-240v-site-trailing-plug-and-socket-230v](https://www.desertcart.no/products/489385023-pce-16-amp-240v-site-trailing-plug-and-socket-230v) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
