The replacement plug can be lay-dangerous
- In the home network of a alternating voltage of 230 volts is common.
- The fuse is passed only from 16 amps, AC connectors, for example, from the heat, flow almost 50 amps before the fuse breaks the circuit through.
- Depending on the power of the consumer is very much current flows, therefore, sometimes your plug by the cable.
- An electric shock could lead to injuries and in the worst case of an accident, even death.
- A high current strength may also lead to a cable fire, which is a danger to you, all the residents of the house and the property itself.
- Improper cabling, as a fire is found to cause no insurance will cover the damage.
- A safe battery-powered electrical tinkering, or Circuits, which are powered by a power supply with low voltage.
- We advise you urgently to go to a specialist for advice if you are familiar with the replacement of a Schuko-plug.
What exactly is a Schuko plug?
- The Schuko plug is a protective contact plug of the type F.
- Lockable Schuko plug for example, at Amazon at low prices to buy.
- The contact pins are inserted into the socket and lead to Phase and neutral.
- Depending on the direction in which you insert the plug into the outlet, Phase and neutral conductor interchanged if necessary. The majority of devices, this is no harm, however.
- The ground is on the outside and is centered above and below the contact pins.
Schuko plug replace
- Follow the following steps very carefully and cautiously. You have to clamp to the beginning of the repair device from the power.
- Cut or you take a picture of the faulty plug – in, possibly including the defective cable with a knife or a side cutter.
- Strip the wires of the cable. Remove about three inches of the cable sheath.
- The veins, you should strip about half a centimeter.
- Put a for conductor cross-section suitable wire-end ferrules on the wire tips and pull it with a crimping tool firmly.
- You open the Schuko plug.
- Fasten the grounding screw in the center of the plug.
- Insert the other two wires into each of the contact pins and clamp it there with the screws.
- Screw the cable firmly, and then the Schuko-plug.
- Note: As mentioned at the beginning of the article, you should not let the fingers of plugs, if you are familiar with it and prefer the Expertise of a professional leave. Even if you do pay in the end more for the service than if you were to do it myself, this is definitely safer.

Tools, you need a side cutter or combination pliers to the power cable be separated by a knife or a cable binder pliers, for Stripping the insulation from the three wires, wire end ferrules and crimping pliers to pull the wire tips together, and a suitable screwdriver to open the spare-Schuko plugs and the wires fixed. Alternatively, you can use as a short-term solution to a soldering iron to solder the tips. Here, the risk of a cable fire, however, which is why you should do this only for the short amount of time as an Improvisation at your own risk consider.

Power cable may look different. Normally, the ground is yellow-green, coated, Phase, and neutral are often black, brown, grey or blue. In this photo the ground is not covered individually. The alternating current of European electricity networks is only important that you connect the grounding correctly, and the other two wires can be swapped. Strip about half a centimeter of the three Wire ends, and solder each of the Wires network.

You have to clamp first to the ground under the screw in the center of the plug. Push pins then the other wires into each of the contact, and screw it in there. Make sure that as little as possible exposed cable look. In no case, bare wires may touch. Screw you last the entire cable to the connector.

Screw the plug. You have to make sure that no wire is visible. The cable must disappear with complete Casing in the plug.
