Receptacle and Screw Set 34864

The receptacle and screw set (part# 34864) is the genuine Tacony OEM male recessed socket, supplied complete with its mounting screws. It is the fitting the power cord plugs into on the machine body, recessed so the connection sits inside the housing rather than protruding where it can be knocked.

What the receptacle and screw set does

The receptacle is the machine-side half of the power connection. Recessing it protects the contacts from impact and from the sideways levering a proud socket takes every time the cord is pulled at an angle — which, on a machine dragged around a building by its lead, is constantly.

It is supplied as a set with its screws for a practical reason: the fasteners are what hold the socket square in the housing, and a socket that can rotate or rock under load works its terminals loose. Reusing tired screws in a fresh receptacle is a false economy that undoes the repair.

When the receptacle and screw set needs replacing

Replace it if the plug no longer seats firmly, if the machine cuts out when the plug is wiggled, if you can see arcing marks, heat discolouration or melted plastic around the contacts, or if the socket has gone loose in its opening.

Heat discolouration around a power connection is not a wait-and-see item. Discolouration means resistance is building at the contacts, and resistance in a mains-carrying connection means heat. Take the machine out of service until it is repaired.

Check the cord end at the same time. A worn receptacle and a worn plug damage each other, so replacing one while leaving the other usually brings the machine straight back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the receptacle and screw set (part# 34864) include the screws?

Yes. It is supplied as a complete set with its mounting screws, which are what hold the socket square in the housing and stop it working its terminals loose.

How do I know if my receptacle and screw set (part# 34864) needs replacing?

The plug no longer seats firmly, the machine cuts out when the plug is wiggled, there are arcing marks, heat discolouration or melted plastic around the contacts, or the socket has gone loose in its opening.

Should I replace the cord at the same time?

Check it. A worn receptacle and a worn plug wear each other, so replacing one and leaving the other often brings the machine straight back with the same fault.
