Subject:Name of "receptacle" on back of hard ware that... From:Deborah Hemstreet <dvora -at- tech-challenged -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Mon, 13 Jun 2011 20:56:22 +0300
Hi All,
It's the late hour, or early onset senility, or both:
On the back of a piece of hardware, I have a "receptacle" that the power
cord connects into... is the correct term "socket"? You then connect the
power cord to the power mains....
It's been ages since I documented hardware, but "receptacle" simply does
not seem like the correct terminology.
