Nothing to do with VDE types (which does not exist). Even the former standards were european (CEE...). And the famous German type "Schukostecker" is standardized acc. to DIN, not to VDE.

peer agreement (net): +3| VDE 2-round pin plug fiche mâle à 2 broches rondes, de type VDE Explanation: VDE = German engineering standards authority = don't translate I don't know if this identifies just one particular type of plug (as my suggested translation assumes), or if in fact they mean just any plug that must be to VDE standards (less likely, I feel) I think this is the standard 2-pin German mains plug, which (in some forms at least) has an earth contact on the side of the receptacle. You might feel that the 'round' is superfluous (unlike US or Australian plugs, I don't think flat pins exist any more in Germany) And you might take a leaf out of the FR book, which refers to FR-style plugs as '2P + T' — so you could just use 'fiche mâle 2 pôles...' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2008-07-08 23:40:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Johannes's point is perfectyl valid, that 'VDE' is no more than a colloquial and technically innaccurate description of the type of plug this is presumably meant to be. You really ought to check with your client just what type of plug they really mean — if indeed the actual type is of any significance; I suspect in fact all they mean is 'the mains end of the power cable', but of course, we don't have enough context to know that. It also depends a bit on whom the "EN" text was written for, i.e. why they thought it necessary to mention 'round pins' — this mlight simply be because in the country of origin, the standard plugs do not have round pins. You see how important the wider context is in judging this one? I think in fact it may not be necessary to split hairs over the exact type of plug (indeed, it might even be that the type of mains plug supplied will be changed anyway when the product itself is 'localized', since there would be little point in supplying a product in (say) France with a German mains plug on it — if indeed it is not even illegal to do so. I suspect the ill-informed (and by the look of it seriously drunk!) author may have simply seen the VDE mark on the plug and *assumed* that it referred to the actual type of plug, which is of course not the case! The original text is so flawed, it's hard to say what might have been going through the author's mind at the time. |
