You basically have a jug that you can fill with water and then place onto a base that makes the electrical connection to heat the water. This module also has a thermal switch mechanism. I'm not sure if it's to regulate a product at a specific temperature or if it's a safety feature in case something overheats. I'm guessing that the weight required to properly mate the connectors may also dictate the minimum liquid level in a kettle when using it. Here's a link to an eBay search for this type of connector. Target price around £2/$3. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=Thermostat+Kettle+Socket&_sacat=0&_sop=15 The middle pin is earth/ground. I wouldn't recommend using this for high current use even if it is designed as a kettle connector.
