    The NEMA TT-30 (TT stands for Travel Trailer) connector is a 120 V 30 A recreational vehicle standard (hot-neutral-ground), also known as RV 30. The TT-30R receptacle is commonly available in nearly all RV parks in the United States and Canada, and all but the largest RVs manufactured since the 1970s use this plug to connect to power feeds.

    Gradually wall sockets were developed to supplement those that screwed into lampholders. [5] [6] [7] In 1912 Hubbell rotated his tandem pins by 90 degrees to arrive at the parallel flat pin configuration still widely used today (NEMA 1-15). A feature common to all of Hubbell's patented designs is the provision of detents to retain a plug in its ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-prong_adaptor

    Cheater plugs were previously available with a short flexible grounding wire rather than a flat metal screw tab. This allowed use of the lower receptacle in a duplex outlet, which does not have a faceplate screw in the correct location for the screw tab. The grounding wire would be diverted around the adapter to reach the faceplate screw above it.

    NEMA-1 plugs have two parallel blades and are rated 15 A at 125 volts. They provide no ground connection but will fit into a grounding NEMA 5-15 receptacle. Early versions were not polarised, but most plugs are polarised today via a wider neutral blade. (Unpolarised AC adaptors are a common exception.)

    This diagram was created with Inkscape, or with something else. This diagram uses embedded text that can be easily translated using a text editor. This version simplified from my table:NEMA receptacle pins.svg File:NEMA receptacle pins.svg by removing the bottom row's 3-phase power plugs and IEC computer connectors, as a way to simplify the table.

    Clock diagram for the regular (>50 V) connector series, viewed looking in to the socket end. The extra-low voltage connector also supports keying, although in this case the angle is the position of the minor key, assuming the major key is at the 6h position (180°).
