Mu Folding Plug Arrives In UK Stores This Month

A new space-saving folding plug which has been designed by South Korea-born Min-Kyu Choi, who studied product design at London’s Royal College of Art. Will be arriving in stores later this month.

The new Mu Folding Plug solves the problem which the 3 pronged UK plug has always suffered with, a large and awkward size. The neat collapsing mechanism used within the design of the new Mu Folding Plug. Enables you to completely collapse down the 3 prongs of the plug into a slim rectangular shape.

Initially the new Mu Plug will be starting its life as a USB adapter to provide a more slimmed down version to recharge your smartphones and other mobile devices. But you can expect to see the innovative plug making its way onto other device in the future.

When the new Mu Plug arrives in stores on February 28th it will be available to purchase for £25. For full details and to pre-order your Mu Plug, jump over to the Mu website for more details.

    £25! This is hopeless. USB smartphone adapters are widely available for less than £2. Why bother travelling routinely with one of these mu adapters when you can have ordinary adapters wherever you go?
    If armed with a USB – micro USB connector (many aftermarket power adapters are set up with separable leads in this way anyway) then you don’t need the adapter, just charge up from a laptop, car or pc.
    At that price point the product thoroughly deserves to fail – what on earth were they thinking of?

    The new MU charger shares some of the design features of Min-Kyu Choi’s ill fated and illegal design for a folding plug, but it is a CHARGER not a PLUG! To make it safe the wings are reversed, making it 40% thicker and making the multi-way adaptor he originally touted impossible. But there is still no space for a fuse to be safely fitted, so it cannot become a general purpose plug which? is legal in the UK.
