    dustydazzler:

    Am I being a bit think here but the plug top goes into a socket hence plug socket....




     

    Thank you, dustydazzler, and to everyone else who responded to this point.


    Any type of plug, electrical or otherwise, probably has a type of socket it plugs into.


    Any type of socket probably has a plug that plugs into it.


    Hence a plug-socket is a socket into which one plugs a plug.


    You can't define something by stuttering recursive repetition to the point of exhaustion. (Except in politics, perhaps.)


    Ask ourselves: 


    Would you expect a manufacturer of wiring accessories to use the term "plug-socket" in its catalogues?


    Would you use the term "plug-socket" in the submission of a technical report to the IET or some similar learned body?


    Come on, now, we engineers know better!
