39 Hilarious Mating plug Puns - Punstoppable 🛑

[Help] Male mating plug got on fur

He's gotten it on his cuddle buddy some times. We never really learnt how to remove it.

Now though, he got it on himself somehow, and his fur in the chest area is all glued together.

We tried but couldn't really snip it off him since it's so close to the skin.

I'm not too hot on the idea of bringing him to the vet until he shows signs of distress. For now, it's just visible frustration and slightly excessive grooming. I foresee a patchy loss of fur in the future for that area, but that's better than me snipping it off for him. He never stays still.

Does anyone else have any methods of removing the plug? Water and soap never seemed to work when it comes to his plug on the cuddle buddy. Many TIA

Those who are interested in what's inside of a testo 770-3 multimeter. Mine quit working today luckily it's an easy fix. Thought I had bad leads, you can see where the screw came off of the mating connection at the circuit board to the lead plug. reddit.com/gallery/jl7bot

Looking for plug/blind mating grounding solution

Hello everyone,

I would like to have some advice concerning the following problem :

I need to remove a metal hood from an equipment to operate on it, and whenever the operation is done I have to reinstall the hood.

I have an issue concerning the grounding of the free hood, to ease the operation I am looking for some kind of plug to make the contact when the hood is installed.

I searched for blind mating grounding, drawer and rack grounding solution but I cannot find what I am looking for if it exists.

PS : I am not neither a native english speaker nor knowledgeable in electrical so I might have the wrong keywords..

Thanks

Do you know where I can find the mating plug for this APC UPS Battery Connector?

I have a 24V battery from an APC UPS (part number RBC32) that I use for one of my projects.

It has this 3-prong connector on it.

I like plugging it into the UPS to charge, and then using it for my project when it is required (not full time, seasonal really).

I am able to stick blade connectors into this plug to connect it to my project, but I'd like to find the appropriate mate so that there is no chance I connect them improperly.

This is from an APC XS 1000 (model number BX1000) unit, but I'm sure they use it on others. Mine is 10+ years old, but I just reordered a new battery this week. They do not sell the connector from the UPS unit itself.

Does anybody know where I can pick up a couple of these?
