Hi guys

Has anyone ever seen a product which plugs into a wall socket and, in turn allows a standard 3 pin plug to be plugged into it but also gives access to the earth terminal so I can ground something else?

I have an application which is run of a 12VDC source (provided by a standard wall adapter) but I also need access to earth to ground some shielding.

Cheers

 

Presumably you have a 2 pin plug?
If so you could cut off the 2 pin and fit a 3 pin and run a ground conductor along side the twin pair, taped, OR replace the twin with 3 core, but that would mean a termination at the twin cable destination?
Max.

 

Unless you are knowledgeable working withe AC mains wiring I would get a metal grounded outlet strip assembled with screws. Easy access to ground from one of the screws - provided the outlet is wired as it should be.
