Schematic symbols for male and female connector pins. In electrical and mechanical trades and manufacturing, each half of a pair of mating connectors or fasteners is conventionally designated as male or female, [1] a distinction referred to as its gender. [2] The female connector is generally a receptacle that receives and holds the male connector.
The NEMA 14 connectors are essentially the replacements for the older NEMA 10 connectors described above, but with the addition of a dedicated grounding connection. All NEMA 14 devices offer two hots, a neutral, and a ground, allowing for both 120 and 240 V when supplied by split-phase power , or 120 and 208 V if the supply is three-phase .
Some connector styles may combine pin and socket connection types in a single unit, referred to as a hermaphroditic connector. [6]: 56 These connectors includes mating with both male and female aspects, involving complementary paired identical parts each containing both protrusions and indentations. These mating surfaces are mounted into ...
Tap generally refers to a keg or barrel tap, though also commonly refers to a faucet that supplies either hot or cold water and not both. [citation needed] It also appears as a descriptor in "tap water" (i.e. water purified for domestic use). A single temperature tap is commonly found in a commercial or public restroom where the temperature of ...
Notice that the black and red winding wires are joined at the threaded connector. In all autotransformers, the single winding must have at least one extra electrical connection – called a tap or tap point – between the two ends of the winding. The current sent into the balun through one pair of connections acts as if it were a primary coil ...
Piping or tubing is usually inserted into fittings to make connections. Connectors are assigned a gender, abbreviated M or F. An example of this is a "3 ⁄ 4-inch female adapter NPT", which would have a corresponding male connection of the same size and thread standard (in this case also NPT).
The neutral is connected to the center tap of the power company transformer of a split-phase system, or the center of the wye connection of a polyphase power system. United States electrical codes require that the neutral be connected to earth at the "service panel" only and at no other point within the building wiring system.
