Power Connectors
Power connectors are used to transmit power between a power source and a device that runs on that particular form of power. Electric power connections are used in conjunction with electric cords to transfer AC power from a plug to an electrical device.
Power connecters are found at the ends of power cords and in wall sockets. DC power connectors, used to connect devices to battery power sources, are not as common as AC connectors.
Power 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.
