@TechConnectify And as sadly as the @EU_Commission won't adopt #IEC60906 connectors due to #eWaste I think they should make #IEC60309 mandatory for ekectric stoves and other electronics that require more than 230V @ 16A single-phase and ain't installed into the wall like some pass-through boiler/heater...

@tinyfluffs @siege

The only reason the #EU didn't make #IEC60906-1 mandatory like #USBc is because the retrofit would take 75 years and create 700.000t of otherwise 100% avoidable #eWaste per year during that time!

@siege that shitty connector is bad and it should be abolished!

Instead #IEC60906-1 and even #Schuko is better.

IMHO all devices should use #IEC60320 and #IEC60309 plugs...

@icedquinn @lamp or rather #SN441011 & #IEC60906-1:

@lamp they are in certain juristictions.

I.e. #Switzerland makes them mandatory and bans non-compliant plugs.

Also the #IEC made several good standards that do the same.
#IEC60320 for devices ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320 ), #IEC60906-1 for sockets ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60906-1 ) and #IEC6309 for anything that needs more than 250V 10A 1L+N+PE ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60309 ).

The #EU mandated IEC 62196 "Type 2" connectors for BEV charging. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_2_connector )
