The pins insert into the matching socket and lock in place with the collar. Electricians fit these when terminating a new cable, replacing a damaged plug on an existing lead, or building a custom extension lead to a required length. IP44 rated and CE certified.
On a site extension lead, the plug goes into the transformer output socket. It carries the supply from the transformer to the socket at the tool end. When this end is damaged — cracked casing, bent pins, or a loose collar — the whole lead becomes unsafe. Replacing the plug restores the lead to service without scrapping the cable. A new plug wired correctly by a competent person costs a fraction of a new lead.
IEC 60309 16A plug: The standard male connector for 110V CTE site systems. Yellow colour identifies it as 110V. The solid pins insert into any matching 16A IEC 60309 socket. The locking collar secures the connection so it does not work loose under load or when the cable is dragged.
2P+E configuration: Two poles plus earth. Three pins in total. The earth pin is larger and offset to prevent incorrect insertion into the wrong socket type.
IP44 rated: Protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from all directions. Suitable for outdoor construction site use.
CE and RoHS certified: Meets CE marking requirements and RoHS environmental standards.

Electricians and site operatives who need to fit a proper IEC 60309 plug to the supply end of a 110V cable. This is a component, not a complete lead. It pairs with the matching 110V 16A socket (ELS11016) to create a complete cable assembly.
Fitting a new plug to a newly prepared 110V CTE site cable for use with a transformer output.
Replacing a cracked, damaged, or bent-pin plug on an existing site lead to return it to safe service.
Building a custom-length 110V extension lead using bulk cable, this plug at the supply end, and a socket at the tool end.
Replacing a plug that has been damaged by site traffic, cable crushing, or repeated heavy use.
Step 1: Strip the cable end to the correct length for the terminals. Follow the wiring diagram printed inside the plug body.
Step 2: Connect earth (green/yellow), neutral (blue), and line (brown) to the correct terminals. Tighten all terminal screws fully.
Step 3: Fit the cable clamp and tighten it onto the cable outer sheath. This provides strain relief and maintains IP44 protection.
Step 4: Assemble the plug body fully. Test with an approved instrument before putting the lead into service.
Reversing line and neutral: always wire to the terminal markings. A reversed neutral creates a shock risk when the plug is withdrawn under load.
Not securing the cable clamp: a loose clamp allows the cable to pull on the terminals under tension and breaks the IP44 seal at the cable entry.
Using on 32A sockets: this plug is rated 16A. Do not use on 32A circuits. The pins are physically different from 32A plugs, but confirm the supply rating before connecting.
This plug is for 110V CTE systems only. Do not attempt to connect it to a 240V supply. Maximum rating 16A. All wiring must be carried out by a competent person. Test after wiring before use. Tighten the cable clamp fully to maintain IP44 protection and strain relief.
Inspect the pin faces and body before each use. Bent or corroded pins must not be used. Check the locking collar engages cleanly with the mating socket. Replace if the body is cracked or any pin is damaged.
Q: What is the difference between a plug and a socket for 110V site equipment?
A: A plug is male. It has solid pins that insert into the socket. A socket is female. It has holes that receive the pins. This product is the plug, the male end that goes into the transformer output socket or extension lead input. The matching female socket is available separately (ELS11016).
Q: Which end of an extension lead does the plug go on?
A: The plug goes at the supply end of the lead, the end that connects to the transformer output. The socket goes at the other end, where the tool or next piece of equipment connects. The plug draws power from the transformer; the socket delivers it to the equipment.
Q: Can I use this plug on a 32A circuit?
A: No. This plug is rated 16A only. The pin size is physically different from a 32A IEC 60309 plug, so it will not fit a 32A socket correctly. For 32A circuits, use a correctly rated 32A plug.
Q: Do I need an electrician to wire this plug?
A: Yes. Wiring any electrical connector should be done by a competent person who understands IEC 60309 terminal configurations, safe cable preparation, and testing procedures. An incorrectly wired plug is a shock hazard.
Q: How quickly can I get this delivered to site?
A: Order by 7pm for next-day delivery nationwide. CMT Group runs its own fleet covering over 95% of the UK mainland with live tracking and What3Words integration for site deliveries.
Q: Can I order in bulk for a site stores?
A: Yes. CMT holds stock across its site electrical range. The EDGE portal provides contract pricing and bulk ordering. CMT is rated Excellent on Trustpilot.
