2. Electrical connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_connector

   The M12 connector, specified in IEC 61076-2-101, is a circular electrical plug/receptacle pair with 12mm OD mating threads, used in NMEA 2000, DeviceNet, IO-Link, some kinds of Industrial Ethernet, etc. [16] [17] A disadvantage of the circular design is its inefficient use of panel space when used in arrays, when compared to rectangular connectors.

3. AC power plugs and sockets: British and related types

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets:...

   [2] Generally the plug is the movable connector attached to an electrically operated device's mains cable, and the socket is fixed on equipment or a building structure and connected to an energised electrical circuit. The plug has protruding pins (referred to as male) that fit into matching apertures (called female) in the sockets. A plug is ...

4. NEMA connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector

   NEMA 1-15P (two-pole, no ground) and NEMA 5-15P (two-pole with ground pin) plugs are used on common domestic electrical equipment, and NEMA 5-15R is the standard 15-ampere electric receptacle (outlet) found in the United States, and under relevant national standards, in Canada (CSA C22.2 No. 42 [1]), Mexico (NMX-J-163-ANCE) and Japan (JIS C 8303).

5. Extension cord - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extension_cord

   If the plug and power outlet are of different types, the term "adapter cord" may be used. Most extension cords range from around 2 to 30 feet (0.61 to 9.14 m) in length although they are made up to 300 feet (91.44 m) in length. The term "extension cord" has been in use since at least 1925. [1]

6. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

   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).

7. Adapter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adapter

   A passive electric power adapter, sometimes called a travel plug or travel adapter, allows using a plug from one region with a foreign socket. As other countries supply 120-volt, 60 Hz AC, using a travel adapter in a country with a different supply poses a safety hazard if the connected device does not support both input voltages.
