ThinPlug is a newly designed and patented award winning UK folding plug. Its unique feature is the double-jointed earth pin. In closed position the earth pin is housed within the central column connected to the main body, and lies horizontally flat between the neutral and live pins, making Thin Plug the SMALLEST UK PLUG IN THE WORLD.

ThinCharger is exclusively licensed to TAA Technologies Ltd.(Hong Kong) and was launched on 13th of October 2009.

Innovations in U.K. plug design

BS1363 - AS158 APPROVED

The biggest obstacle to making an alternative plug has to be safety. The conservative ‘British Standards’ approach towards new inventions has safeguarded public safety and it is a daunting prospect for any inventor to try to change the standard plug without risking falling foul of the detailed provisions governing the safety of UK plugs. However, the inventor of ThinPlug ZIHNI YALCIN's perseverance in ensuring that his plug will be safe and his close consulting with ASTA (Intertek), a leading authority for approval of UK plugs has resulted in a new Supplementary Standard being written specifically with unique features of ThinPlug to ensure that it would meet an equivalent safety standard as set for all UK plugs.
