A cordset is a power cable with one or more molded connectors. They provide temporary electrical connections and have a male connector at one end and a female connector at the other end. Either end may not have a connector, but have terminal connector wires instead. Cordsets are flexible, easy-to-connect, and may include components such as fuses, or EMI shielding.
The male end of a cordset is a molded electrical plug with unshielded, exposed terminals known as pins or prongs. This end of the cordset attaches to an electrical outlet or socket. The female end of the cordset is a molded electrical receptacle into which pins or prongs are inserted. The female end attaches to electrically-powered equipment or an appliance. Similarly, either end may instead have terminal connecting wires.
Pins are used to hold together assemblies to fasten two or more common components to each other and serving as hinges, axles, aligners and pivots with stops that maintain a positive limit upon the movement of components within machinery and mechanical components.
A plug is an item that (1) provides a fitted closure for an opening designed to ensure a tight seal such as for a sink or a bottle, or for a hole or a space (2) completes an electrical connection. The plug may be removable (as for portable equipment), require a tool for assembly and removal, or serve as a permanent electrical joint between two points.
