I've always disliked needing to wrangle three 2.5mm T&Es into one 13A socket.
The three solid cores rarely sit cleanly, and there's always the suspicion that at least one core is not being held properly:
Lately I've been doing this, using 5-way Wagos and bits of stranded 2.5mm single, fitted with ferrules, into the socket itself:
Of course that's more joints. Perhaps unnecessary joints. But it appears to me a more secure and more maintenance-free method.
I don't believe there's any regulatory reason why it can't be done like this.
What do others do/think?
