Summary
| Description |
English: A selection of NEMA receptacles, showing ground, neutral, and hot/line pins. Earth/ground is dark green, neutral is white, and hot/line is black.
Typical modern North American uses for common receptacles are shown in purple. Sadly, this is not an exhaustive list. References: Receptacle side shown here: http://www.nooutage.com/nema_configurations.htm Plug side shown here: http://www.refurbups.com/Plug-Information Prints smaller than actual size. Plugs drawn freehand; mechanical dimensions are very approximate. Electrical connections should be positively verified before use, as this information was collected from online sources of unknown reliability. |

| SVG development |  This diagram was created with
Inkscape, or with something else.  This diagram uses embedded text that can be
easily translated using a text editor. |
This version simplified from my table:NEMA receptacle pins.svg File:NEMA receptacle pins.svg by removing the bottom row's 3-phase power plugs and IEC computer connectors, as a way to simplify the table.

 | 765 × 756 (46 KB) | Olawlor | Ground pins are all shown in the up direction. Reorienting 14-30 and 14-50 this way makes the diagram match most commercially available cables. Reorienting 5-15 is controversial because most residential installations use ground down, but many commercial or healthcare installations use ground up, and I'd like the diagram to be consistent. | |
