Power inlet IEC-GS-1-100 rear cover

A cover to hide the rear parts of the socket that are live from accidental touching.

The back of the IEC GS-1-100 socket has metal elements that conduct electricity and are not covered with anything. While the connectors can (or even should) be covered with insulating sleeves - so are the plates on the back of the socket - there is nothing to cover them with. Thanks to this cover - there is no possibility of accidentally touching them.

It can be mounted directly on the back of the socket (it fits perfectly), and it can also be completely permanently connected to the socket - a free pin is printed inside the housing, which must be put through the hole, which in the IEC GS-1-100 socket is under the fuse (you have to remove the fuse to see this hole).
Do not use metal screws in this place! Apart from the fact that such a screw would be easily under voltage, it would short-circuit the fuse plates - which would result in a lack of protection. A nylon screw could be used there - or simply the attached printed pin (glued or melted with a soldering iron after putting it through the cover)

No supports are needed


I publish two versions - with an open back (where the wires easily go straight to the back) and a closed one, where the wire comes out through the hole on the side.
