I am confused: isn't the P-079e is a wall plug?
What counts in an IEC female connector is that there is a good electrical contact from either 2 spring plates or some U shaped blade ( like some Martin Kaiser IEC plugs have). The last version can make good contact initially but weakens over time as do designs which use too soft metal (like pure cooper - which is great for male side as there is no spring action required). I bought a cheap small no-name IEC plug made from beryllium copper many years ago and it was great but never found it again.
