Then you don't have to worry about a "tight fit" or something dislodging (or half-dislodging) the plug.
- mbreese 6y agoDon’t those plugs mean something though? Like a specific Amp/voltage level? Or can you use this anywhere? I’ve only used it for specific Amp/voltage required situations (UPSs actually).
- mindslight 6y agoThey all mean something. For every straight blade there's generally an equivalent twist lock. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector#/media/File:NEMA_simplified_pins.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector#/media/File:NEM...
- jasonpeacock 6y agoYep, which is why I linked the one specifically for 20A 125/250V, IIRC that matches the OP's use case. Surprisingly, there is no physical shape (that I'm aware of) to distinguish between 120V and 240V, it's up to the user to be aware of possibility of alternate voltages. I have seen color schemes used to distinguish voltages.
