NEMA connector
NEMA connectors are power plugs and sockets used for AC mains electricity in North America, Central America, Japan, Taiwan and other countries that use the standards set by the US National Electrical Manufacturers Association. They are defined by the IEC as the Type A and Type B plugs. NEMA wiring devices are made in current ratings from 15 to 60 amperes (A), with voltage ratings from 125 to 600 volts (V). Different combinations of contact blade widths, shapes, orientations, and dimensions create non-interchangeable connectors that are unique for each combination of voltage, electric current carrying capacity, and grounding system. 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), Mexico (NMX-J-163-ANCE), Japan (JIS C 8303), and Taiwan.
