And of course we got a "correction" of the question --always dangerous. The questioner correctly specified the PSU plug. The input connector is a plug. That's the only connector where the cockroach could contact the phase and one of the earth or neutral. It would have struggled to do that inside a socket (the VDU power connector) on a PSU.

I used to find dead lizards on the bare wires going to the rectifier anodes of a transmitter power supply. They had to jump to get there, and died ZZZZZT when they landed. It was nice and warm in that compartment. 15kV peak volts is electrifrying.
