Uwe --
I just had the need to make up another cable with a Viborg Schuko and tried your method of terminating. If I'm doing it right, this means unscrewing the back off the plastic piece, then muscling the N and L prongs back, unscrewing the Ground terminal from the front and pulling it back. Then feeding all three wires into the terminals and securing them with two set screws per terminal. This was awkward but workable.
But then I realized I forgot to feed the wires through the back of the now detached back of the plastic piece before securing wires to terminals. Argh! Took terminals back apart and fed wires through back of the plastic piece. Now, I didn't have enough slack to feed wires into terminals and re-secure them. Perhaps if the cable jacket was stripped back twice what I usually strip it back I would have enough slack. But then once the plug was reassembled, the shell wouldn't cover the stripped cable jacket.
I can't imagine this is what Viborg had in mind?
