Need electrical advice failed part and need replacement but unsure of part name pic included

[Needadvice123]

Alternative choc block failure cannot seem to find the one in the photo attached in common b and q Screwfix shops, can anyone give me the correct name of part? as it is not a normal choc block, or can anyone link me to the part for ease of purchase .
Thank you

No it is a poor attempt at humour, looking for the picture the OP said he provided or am I reading his post wrong

Maybe the pic is tied up in admin red tape

No, the OP has posted photo attached. Still waiting.

Screw termination block

Edit: terminal not termination. Corrective text is rubbish.

Does (did) that push fit onto something ?

Didn't notice that. Probably a light fitting.

Is there a fixed 3 prong plug thingy that fits into that block?
You might be able to slot an ordinary, maybe slightly larger-sized chocblock onto it, if the orientation isn't critical. Or maybe adapt something like this:

Need a pic of the other part that fits into the block!

What are you changing.....and why?
If it's a new fitting, as seems by the base, let's have a look at the guts......where the connection is made.
If in doubt, contact someone qualified.

No need to threaten to rip his guts out Ian just because he can't supply a picture!

It looks like the @pirate has hit the nail on the head.

That is what it connects to

How has it failed?

 

[Needadvice123]

Light won’t turn on, swapped everything up to that terminal block with the same light type in another room and they all work, the block is the next part I haven’t swapped over, I have swapped switch over aswell that works as normal so it’s either the block or a wire failure

 

[Gareth Brookes]

I would be checking that you still have 230v at the light fitting if you dont have the tools to do it get an electrician in

 

[pirate]

Can't really see that it is the fitting/connector that has failed...looks robust and simple enough, and an easy workaround if not.

Something wrong in the wiring, methinks.

You have got to do some testing here.
Find out if you get 230v to the point of connection if so you have to test continuity on all cables in that fitting.

 

[dmxtothemax]

looks like it is made to mate with something with pins !
like a ballast.

 

[GMDemo]

I tend to agree with dmxtothemax, there doesn't appear to be any sign of burning on the connection so either you don't have 230V at the supply or the electronic ballast has failed, assuming it has one. Put a test lamp across live and neutral and check you have both present. Plug the thing in and check you have both live and neutral on the plug side.

 

[GMDemo]

BTW if you are live on the socket side but not on the plug side just joint the cable together, perhaps with click wagos, assuming there is no protective/control device in the plug. If there is a protective/control device in the plug either replace it or buy a new light.
