Electric contacts, Plug or Pin? - Magnus Forsberg - 2026-11-15
We seem to have a mix-up of Plug and Pin in the electric contacts. I find many descriptions to be wrong and confusing.
The pins are using Type 1-4 and Female. How many are there, and why are 3 called Type 4?
These are all the parts I could find. 9 different types of body.
I suggest we use:
Electric Plug which is made of a Electric Plug Body and one, or more Electric Pin
If the Pins are using Type 1-7 maybe the Plug body can use Type A - Type I ?
Electric Plug (Type A) with Electric Pin (Type 3) with [colour] Cable End
Or is everyone OK with the current descriptions?
