The damaged outlet contains transferred lettering from a previously connected attachment plug. The cause of the heating event is unknown; however, the damage is consistent with prolonged heating at the plug-to-receptacle interface.

			The most severe damage is concentrated around the neutral blade opening of the affected receptacle. This suggests that heating may have originated at the plug-to-receptacle interface rather than within the connected appliance itself. The exact cause could not be conclusively determined, although deterioration of the contact connection is considered a possible contributing factor.

	The outlet exhibiting heat damage was not the outlet used by the space heater during the final documented period of service, indicating that the damage likely occurred earlier in the unit's operational life.

== Overview ==

The '''Yun YY-6CS''' is a six-outlet surge protector manufactured in July 2006.

The documented example remained in service until retirement and exhibited a flickering illuminated rocker switch during operation.

Inspection prior to documentation revealed significant dirt accumulation, a discolored power plug, and heat damage surrounding one outlet.

== Documented Example ==

* OldSurge ID: OS-0012
* Manufacturer: Yun
* Model: YY-6CS
* Manufacturing Date: July 2006

== Specifications ==

* Manufacturer: Yun
* Model: YY-6CS
* Manufacturing Date: July 2006
* Outlets: 6 grounded outlets
* Length: Approximately 10.125 in (25.7 cm)
* Width:
** Approximately 2.0 in (5.1 cm) at the control section
** Approximately 1.75 in (4.4 cm) at the outlet section
* Cord Length: Approximately 28 in (71 cm)

== Physical Description ==

The YY-6CS utilizes a beige plastic enclosure with six grounded outlets arranged in a single row.

An illuminated red rocker-style power switch is located near the power-cord entry point and is accompanied by bilingual surge-protection labeling.

The documented example exhibits substantial dirt accumulation, cosmetic wear, and heat damage surrounding one outlet near the end opposite the power-cord entry.

The enclosure measures approximately:

* Length: 10.125 in (25.7 cm)
* Width:
** Approximately 2.0 in (5.1 cm) at the control section
** Approximately 1.75 in (4.4 cm) at the outlet section
* Cord Length: Approximately 28 in (71 cm)

The printed lettering surrounding the control section exhibits partial wear and smearing resulting from age and cleaning.
