Yun YY-6CS
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

Condition Notes
The documented example exhibits substantial dirt accumulation, a flickering illuminated rocker switch, a discolored attachment plug, and significant heat damage surrounding one outlet near the end opposite the power-cord entry.
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 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.
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 surge-protection labeling above the rocker switch exhibits noticeable wear and smearing. Some of the lettering was further disturbed during cleaning of the documented example.
One outlet near the end opposite the power-cord entry exhibits significant heat damage and plastic deformation. The affected area includes visible transfer of molded lettering from a previously connected attachment plug, indicating that elevated temperatures were sufficient to soften the surrounding plastic.
