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.

Products covered by the standard include cord assemblies of a plug that mates with the standard cigarette receptacle found in automobiles. 6-volt cigarette lighter receptacle and plug. Receptacle inside diameter: 21.34–21.46 mm (median 21.4 mm) Plug body diameter: 21.08–21.23 mm (median 21.155 mm) 12-volt cigarette lighter receptacle and ...
The 20 A plug has a blade rotated 90° (opposite blade from what would be the "line" blade on a 2-15 or 5-15 plug. This prevents accidental insertion of plugs into outlets that use different voltages), and the 6-20R receptacle has a T-shaped hole to accept both 6-15P and 6-20P plugs (similar to the 5-20R receptacle accepting 5-15P and 5-20P plugs).
AC power plugs are also commonly circular, for example, Schuko plugs and IEC 60309. NMEA 2000 cabling using M12 connectors. 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]
Each of these plugs is used with a specified voltage range. Most manufacturers use colored insulating materials to distinguish these plugs from other similar-looking DC plugs, and for quick identification between EIAJ plugs of similar size. EIAJ-01: For 0–3.15 V. 2.5 mm OD, 0.7 mm ID. EIAJ-02: For 3.15–6.3 V. 4.0 mm OD, 1.7 mm ID.
A six-way connector on a "universal" DC power supply, consisting of a four-way X connector and two separate individual connectors (one is the nine-volt battery connector). The X-connector here provides 3.5 and 2.5 mm phone plugs and two sizes of coaxial power connector Universal laptop power supply with adjustable voltage between 12 and 24 volts
These are used for both 220-volt and 127-volt regions of the country, despite the IEC 60906-2 recommendation that NEMA 5-15 be used for 120 V connections. There are two types of sockets and plugs in NBR 14136: one for 10 A, with a 4.0 mm pin diameter, and another for 20 A, with a 4.8 mm pin diameter. [ 38 ]
