The attached is a Hager part for a 3xT13 wall socket. One of the T13s is only activated when a light switch is turned on.
I need to replace it because most plugs don't make proper electrical contact any more.
Searching online I can't find the same part. It was installed new in 2013, so perhaps the part has been discontinued?
What is the German word for this part?
Does anyone know where I can find an exact replacement?
Does anyone know of a suitable substitute part, if necessary I will buy another metal mounting plate to go with it.
I can live without the feature, whereby one of the T13s is live only when a light switch is on. Is it trivial to convert this "switched" T13 to an "always on" T13?
You can use a small brown piece of wire to connect together the normal live connector with the "switched" live connector, instead of powering them up separately.
Note that at this point the cover plate would be misleading.

I happen to work for a company that works for Elektro Steffen who distributes these things...I asked one of the guys and he said that this is what you need:
