Electric plug

A wide variety of electrical devices typically draw AC power from a commercial source, usually delivered through a wall receptacle or socket, via a corresponding electrical plug. Such electric appliances generally comprise an elongated electric cable and an electric plug adapted to electrically plug into an electric socket of a power electric. Different designs of electric plugs and sockets may be used in different countries. An electric plug commonly includes a plurality of conductive terminals which are sized and shaped to project into associated receptacles in an electrical outlet. Generally, an electric plug connector includes an enclosure means, a pair of connection plugs and an electric circuit contained inside the enclosure means. The connection plugs are used to make an electrical connection between an external power source and a circuit contained inside the enclosure means. Electrical plugs have conductive blades made of, for example, metal partially embedded in an insulation housing of the plug. A portion of each of the blades is exposed for insertion and establishing electrical connection with a socket or wall outlet. Electrical plug connectors are used in a variety of technical fields. For example, electrical plug connectors are used in the automotive industry to connect electrical terminals. The electrical plug connector prevents the terminals from becoming loose when the terminals are exposed to jolts and vibrations.
