The Elgotech WT-20-2 is a high-quality angled plug engineered for reliable electrical connections in residential and office environments. Rated for 16A and 250V, this durable component is designed to provide a secure power link for various household appliances and electronic devices. Its robust construction ensures long-term performance, while the black finish offers a clean, professional appearance that blends well with most power cords and interior settings.
Advantages
The primary benefit of this angled plug is its space-saving design, which allows for a low-profile connection. This is particularly useful when plugging devices into wall sockets located behind furniture, cabinets, or heavy appliances where a standard straight plug would protrude too far. The ergonomic shape facilitates easy insertion and removal from the socket, and the sturdy housing provides excellent protection for the internal wiring connections, ensuring safety and durability during daily use.

How to use
To install the plug, carefully strip the outer insulation of your power cable to expose the individual wires. Open the plug housing by removing the retaining screw and feed the cable through the strain relief. Connect the live, neutral, and earth wires to the corresponding terminals inside the plug, ensuring all screws are tightened securely to prevent loose connections. Once the wiring is complete, reassemble the housing and tighten the outer casing screw before testing the connection with a compatible device.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure the cable diameter is compatible with the plug's strain relief
- Verify that your appliance does not exceed the 16A power rating
- Check that the wiring configuration matches your local electrical standards
Usage recommendations
Always disconnect the power source before performing any electrical repairs. If you are not confident in your ability to wire the plug correctly, consult a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.
