The
NEMA 5-15 plug/power outlet system is in general use in the USA and
Canada but is also in use internationally. In Central America,
Columbia, Venezuela and Ecuador this system is a standard for earthed
connection of Class I apparatus. In addition, this plug is also used in
Korea and Taiwan. The contact pattern of NEMA 5 - 15 also fits into
Japanese power outlets, but Japan has its own standard and an own
approval symbol (see „Japanese plug“).
The NEMA 5-15P plug has two flat, folded, bright brass pins and a round earthing pin arranged offset in the center. Upon request, solid, nickel-plated flat brass pins can be delivered. This also applies to the earthing pin. The center-to-center distance between the contact pins is 12.7 mm.
The arrangement of the pins depending on current and voltage is determined in the NEMA standards. The most important configurations are shown on page 24.
