These 3 pin sockets are used by Seaward on some of their PATesters, in this case an Apollo 600. I need to make up some leads but I can't find this socket listed anywhere. Anyone recognise them and point me in the right direction for some plugs? The socket is about 13mm diameter. I'll be taking the tester apart tomorrow to see if there's anything moulded into the sockets but if anyone recognises them it'll save me a job

There's a Seaward mains lead available 44B141 as a spare for ~£30 (from many suppliers)
but I don't know the connector type.
E.g:
 
I only need the plug. I need to make up a set of leads for a specific job. They need to be left on the job and just plug in the tester when needed. I'm assuming the ready made leads would have a moulded on plug so I wouldn't be able to knock up the leads needed and give them to the client without them looking like a butchered job.

I appreciate what you're saying, but there's a possibility it's a bespoke connector made for Seaward, in which case it may only exist in potted form on that assembly!
The Declaration of Conformity for it declares it compliant with just the generic product standard for 2&3 pin mains connectors, not to a standard IEC (or any other) configuration, so I'm just wondering if it's 'unique'?
I'm hoping you get a more positive response from someone who knows!
 
As you say, I have a feeling it's going to be a unique plug but then again I can't see Seaward going to that extra expense. I haven't had time yet to pull my Apollo apart to see if there's anything moulded on it.
