I believe that the plug was made by Amphenol and may be found on RS components web site.

Bob, I had the same problem a few years ago, could not source new plugs and sockets so bought S/H plug off ebay,then found out there were two sizes made and I’d bought the large one when I wanted the small one.

Gave up at this point and replaced the whole lot with red 440v plugs and sockets

Originally never worries me only non working machine tools

Used the standard big ones as I had a shed full.
I was more interested in getting the machine earning money plus if I ever broke one I’d have spares

Think this is it :- Niphan-Guard-Ring-Plug-63-39-16-PG40.

Gawd knows where the info came from but there is a text file called Bridgeport Head Power Plug lurking in the right place on my computer with a link to a supplier. Link is still live and picture looks like the right thing.

**LINK**

Industrial supplier so probably stupid minimum order but you can always ask.

Clive.
