Description
AC power plugs and sockets are devices for removably connecting electrically operated devices to the power supply.
An electric plug connects mechanically to a matching socket. Usually plugs are movable connectors, and sockets are fixed to equipment.
Wall sockets (sometimes also known as power points, power sockets, electric receptacles, plug sockets, electrical outlets or just sockets) are mostly or completely female electrical connectors that have slots or holes which accept and deliver current to the prongs of inserted plugs.
There is some variation in male/female mating. Some plugs can have sockets or exposed contact plates, while some wall sockets have pins or exposed contact plates. These exposed contacts in the wall socket are commonly used for safety purposes such as grounding or for electrostatic energy dissipation.
To reduce the risk of injury or death by electric shock, some plug and socket systems incorporate various safety features. Sockets can be designed to accept only matching plugs and reject all others.
