A plug is the connector attached to an electrically-operated device, often via a cable. A socket (also known as a receptacle or outlet) is fixed in place, often on the internal walls of buildings, and is connected to an AC electrical circuit. Inserting ("plugging in") the plug into the socket allows the device to draw power from this circuit.

Many plugs manufactured since 1948 are polarized ; the neutral blade is 5 ⁄ 16 in or 7.9 mm wide, 1 ⁄ 16 in or 1.6 mm wider than the line blade, so the plug can be inserted only one way.
