From a sample of five random wall warts in my drawer, none of them are polarised, so they can be plugged in either orientation. YMMV.
EDIT:
Is it realy a convention?
I was told so, but after googling, I am beginning to doubt it. It may have been a short lived thing.
- dylan604 5y agoWhat's a polarized plug got to do with it? All of the weight of the wall wart is above the plug vs hanging. I've had more issues in this orientation of the plug pulling out of the socket than when it is hanging from the plug. Even when the ground pin is on the bottom, if I put 2 wall warts on the same plug, one of them must be inverted to have both fit. The one upside down always has issues.
- goodcanadian 5y agoEverything? If the plug isn't polarised, the wall wart can hang down from the socket regardless of the position of the ground pin. It will literally plug in either way. I'm not sure what your complaint is.
