Electrical Connectors
Electrical connectors are used to transmit electric power between a power source and a device that runs on electric power. Electric connecters are at the ends of power cords and in wall sockets. Electric cords are used to transfer AC power from a plug to an electrical device. When an electric cord is molded to two connectors, it is known as an electrical cord set or power cord.
Electric connectors have male and female connections. The male electrical connector fits into the female electrical connector. Male connectors are found at the end of power plugs; they have either two or three pins that fit into the slots in the socket, which is the female connector.
