Hi, 

I just noticed that the 220V mains cable of the PSU doesn't go in fully into the mains port.

Is it normal for the cable to not go in fully?

I pushed it as far as it can go and it sits fine and I have used this same PSU for nearly 2years now. I Just noticed this while relocating to another AC room.

 

The cable is a decent quality 10A 250V that came with my previous Corsair PSU.

My current Antec PSU came with a flat pin that is not compatible with my socket.

Normally the plug in further, but as long as it doesn't wiggle about, you should be fine.

 

Yes its pretty tight in its spot and doesn't move a mm unless pulled hard/wiggled back and forth to remove it.

Tried 2 sets of cables and neither went in fully so I think the port on the PSU side might be a bit shorter.

Its been fine for the past 2 years I doubt its a problem, or will become one.

I hope so.
