Mains power connectors are a type of electrical connector used to connect electrical equipment to a mains power supply. They are commonly used in a variety of applications, including home appliances, industrial equipment, and power distribution systems.
Mains power connectors typically consist of a male and female connector, with the male connector featuring pins that plug into the female connector, which has sockets to receive the pins. They are designed to be easy to install and remove, with a secure locking mechanism to ensure a stable connection.
One advantage of mains power connectors is their ability to provide a safe and reliable source of power to electrical equipment. They are typically designed to meet stringent safety standards, and may include features such as fuses or circuit breakers to prevent electrical overload or short circuits.
Mains power connectors are available in a range of configurations, with different plug types and voltages. Some of the most common types of mains power connectors include NEMA connectors in North America, BS 1363 connectors in the UK, and Europlugs in Europe.
