Wikipedia's AC power plugs and sockets entry has a good table of relevant terms:

Hi All,

It's the late hour, or early onset senility, or both:

On the back of a piece of hardware, I have a "receptacle" that the power cord connects into... is the correct term "socket"? You then connect the power cord to the power mains....

It's been ages since I documented hardware, but "receptacle" simply does not seem like the correct terminology.

Thanks!

Deborah
