Plugs have the earth pin of a larger diameter than the<br \/>\nothers, and located in different places depending on the voltage rating, making it impossible to mate, for instance, a blue plug with a yellow socket. Since the different current ratings have different overall sizes, it is also not possible to mate<br \/>\ndifferent pin configurations or current ratings. For example, a 16 A 3P+E 400 V plug will not mate with a 16 A 3P+N+E 400 V socket and a 16 A P+N+E 230 V plug will not mate with a 32 A P+N+E 230 V socket.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Industrial_Socket\"><\/span>\u00a0Industrial Socket<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A socket is a way through which the plug connects the appliance, which generally consists, plastic covering that coats the wiring and socket loops provided in the plug settings such that nickel is coated in the wires to avoid corrosion as well as<br \/>\neasier conductivity.<\/p>\n<p>An artificially hollow electrical device in which plugs of several applications fits in, to receive the adequate energy, is called Industrial socket. These days many different types of sockets are available as per the application and requirement.<br \/>\nSome of the main types are raw socket, stream socket, datagram socket, etc. Also, the industrial sockets are available in the various combinations of pins.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Industrial_Plug\"><\/span>Industrial Plug<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A plug consists of easier words pins, holder translator and connector.
