GC Electronics AC Power Plugs & Receptacles
AC power plugs and receptacles are common electrical components used to connect an appliance to a power source. The plug is typically male, and the receptacle is typically female. The metal prongs on the plug fit into the slots of the receptacle in order to form a connection and allow the appliance to receive power. Different countries have different types of power plugs and receptacles, so it is important to be aware of what type you need in your country when purchasing and connecting an appliance.
