Solid links are available for many applications however I doubt you will find one for a plug which incorporates a fuse. If you wish to make your own then go for it there is nothing stopping you.I have come across 13A solid links, and knew guys who used them. Not seen one for years, hence this thread. They may not be available any longer as the demand is not there. Nothing in any reg say they are illegal. Solid links are available for many applications.
The link simple converts a fused 13A plug into a fuseless, eliminating a gfuse -a s do all solid links. Fuseless plugs are legal being for sale - 15A.
Those are general portable appliances. A heavy fitted appliance is different - some are even hard wired in.
Square pin Smart phone charging plugs with the integrated USB plugs do not have fuses. Apple & Samsung.A few years back products were being imported, in particular cctv equipment which came with a fitted moulded plug but no fuse, these were flagged up by Trading Standards as non compliant and dangerous.

So you cut off the moulded plug and replace it with a non standard plug so preventing it being plugged into an alternative power point for testing by the manufacturers engineer thats an interesting oneIf the manufacturer is OK with cutting off the moulded plug, then a 15A round pin is the way to go.
I m way past caring. I see no need for them. And this thread feels like groundhog day.Do you know if they are still available or guessing?
