I am trying to buy a single socket for one of those standard 2-pin

rated at 2.5 amps.

It is probably easier to buy a "two pin plug" to fused 13A plug adapter.

But that will stick out too far and anyway it's not going to be
connected to a 13 amp circuit.


I know the plug will fit in a bigger round socket or in a German
Schuko socket but I'd prefer to find one specifically for the smaller
plugs so that a big round one won't fit.

I want one that will flush mount if possible, I don't have much
clearance available where it's going to be installed.

Shaver socket is the only legitimate UK mains connector with that two
pin profile.

Who said this was going to be in the UK? :-)

The shave socket *isn't* the same anyway, it is a "5 amp 2-pin" socket
and, while a euro two pin will fit into it the pins are thinner than
the socket is designed for.
